I think he can pull of the same “gentle but disappointed dad” vibe that Alex had whenever no one got the right answer.

I just miss Alex's "good for you" when someone told him a story. He was being genuine, but it sounded hilariously condescending.

My favorite moment was when some quirky professor was a contestant and had blue hair and asymmetrical glasses. Alex enters, looks at him, exchanges smirks for a few seconds, and then goes “We’ll talk.”

Kinda reminds me of my Dad.

He would(and still does) share stories about other people's lives, who he met through work, like a former NFL lineman from the undefeated Miami Dolphins squad; the guy who shot all the animals who are now on display at one of the Cabela's in Minnesota; a descendant of the guy who founded Pabst Blue Ribbon; etc

But if you would see how he ended conversations you think he was a complete dick sometimes but he genuinely enjoyed learning a bit about everybody he would talk to he just didn't want to talk forever with you.
