Edzus Ozolins gets invited to the japanese version of Jeopardy. Edzus likes to think of himself as a very cultured person, however it’s kind of hard to show that culture when everything is in japanese only. Edzus isn’t that smart, he cannot just understand everything in japanese as if it was in English or Latvian, y’know? That’s why he just tries to be the clown of the hour and be as funny as possible, while trying not to care about his rather alarming score who goes deep into the negative. He’s not here to win any money, he keeps telling himself, he’s only there for the fun of it, even if he himself isn’t having a ton of fun showcasing a -300 score. The worst part? That was only part one of the 3 phases of the game show. Because yes, there’s even more embarrassment coming on for Ozolins! But that’ll just make the show better and funnier if it’s obvious that he’s lost and quite confused about the language… right?
