Sexism on Jeopardy?

“Interesting, the lady wins, because of the wager, not because of the response” - Alex Trebek

I believe these were Alex's words on an episode of Jeopardy, aired on August 22, 2007... I was a bit outraged by this comment! First of all, he finds it 'interesting' that a woman won (that's how I am interpreting his tone of voice), then he calls her a lady, which in my opinion brings us back a few decades as this word tends to emphasise the delicacy of the so-called fair sex, and finally he must justify that she won due to her luck in wagering and not by her response which was incorrect... maybe I'm overanalysing this one, but it definitely caught my attention and has prompted me to scrutinise more of what I see and hear on television, even seemingly gender-unbiased and harmless programming such as educational gameshows.
