No Jeopardycontestant has been so polarizing, so enraging and possessing a name so reminiscent of an Archiecomic character as Buzzy Cohen.
Usually, when a contestant has a winning-streak on Jeopardy, droves of Internet fans come out of the woodwork to cheer them on. They're seen as an everyman (or woman), a folk hero, a phoenix rising from the ashes of obscurity to take home the big prize (and maybe a piece of Alex Trebek's mustache, RIP).
This is not the case with Buzzy.
Buzzy, who has had an eight-day winning streak on the show, is an indie recording executive living in Los Angeles. He wears skinny ties and trendy, round glasses. He has perfectly coiffed hair that reminds you of Pete Cambell in Mad Men.
Just like Pete, we both love and hate Buzzy at the exact same time. Perhaps Buzzy's biggest trait is that he has a distinct fondness for witty quips and jokes with Alex Trebek.
Just as Alex mentions in the video (above), its like he's Sean Connery in SNL's Celebrity Jeopardy.
Buzzy's bombastic personality has divided the Internet between people who want to marry him and people who just want to punch him in the face. Or, even, people who want to do both.

To Buzzy's credit, he's not doing anything simply to aggravate us.
"The thing that people don’t realize is that, when I went into my audition, the one thing that the contestant coordinator said was, ‘It’s a game show — have fun.’ So that’s what I’m doing," he told The Wrap.
That's fair, Buzzy. You do you.
Until someone dethrones him, he is currently our Jeopardyking. So we must continue on, for better or for worse.
