Sigh
Alex, as we all know, can't pronounce Russian. Neither can the Clue Crew, apparently. This one just said "Mee-kayl Gorbachev".
Mee-kayl. NO. Just no. It's Me-kheye-EEL GarbaCHOHFF [mʲɪxɐˈil ɡərbɐˈt͡ɕɵf] .
I'm glad they didn't try pronouncing the Russian for "Trust but verify". Why can't Jeopardy! look up how to pronounce foreign words?

<-- Older Post ^ Home Newer Post -->Given where he's from, would you have accepted something along the lines of [ɦərbɐˈt͡ɕɵw]?
That would be acceptable - not Russian, of course, but okay. Thing is, he claims to speak Russian. And he doesn't.
