I didn't either, since I spelled it Warf! I never watched Star Trek (probably get my HN privileges revoked for that), but I did know that much. And then the Reading Rainbow guy's "whatever happened will happen again". I know the character's name is Geordie or whatever, but he didn't have the right accent for him to be a Geordie, so he will forever be Reading Rainbow guy instead.

Kunta Kinte is closer to his roots.

He could have been the Jeopardy guy too.

But I didn't grow up watching him on Jeopardy, so no, he would never be that guy either.

it’s a fair demand to make, given that his TV predecessor was called Scotty and DID have a Scottish accent

I can't believe I've gone my entire life without noticing the obvious wordplay... even after seeing the Futurama parody with "Welshy"!
