Am I missing something? Is it some kind of running gag? Both Adam Sessler and Geoff Keighley pronounce your name Gertzmann. Why? It makes no sense. Please enlighten me.

I've never noticed it myself. But there is a history of people getting Jeff's name wrong. He was credited in the special thanks section of Guitar Hero 2 as "Jeff Gershman"

Gutsman

His name is straight-forward. I don't understand what's so hard.

I've noticed this too. Every time he's on GTTV I wind up yelling at my monitor. It's like dude it's written down right there just sound it out.

I've only ever heard Geoff Keighley pronounce it wrong on the bonus round a few times and because of that I think he's a moron, but I haven't heard too many other people getting it wrong.

Geoff Keighly started the "Gertzmann" thing, but Adam Sessler actually says is correctly (although he jokingly says Gertzmann quite frequently).

I have never really notices before.  His last name seems pretty straight forward.

Really Sessler does it too? That dude should totally know better. I hope he's being funny.
 
Keighley is blatantly unaware and repetitive about it though. He pronounces it with a hard TZ and has zero clue. If it is a joke, dude needs an acting career. And Jeff makes the same face when Kessler says something stupid, so he's not aware of any joke.

I think Geoff Keighley does it on purpose, but there's no way to tell what the hell that guy is thinking most of the time. It's like he lives his life in fast-forward, never pausing to let a running joke sink in or anything.
 
Adam Sessler I don't know.... He's like on the road to becoming the next Gary Busey.

It's actually pronounced as "Kohler". Get it right people!

What's with the hate for Keighley? He's one of the better video game journalists around.

" What's with the hate for Keighley? He's one of the better video game journalists around. "

Wow. I just watched a G4 "Gerstmann-gate" clip and even Kevin Pereira called him Gertzmann. This was well after Jeff co-hosted with him that week of TSS (or was it actually AOTS then). I also saw one with Sessler and he mispronounced it as well. I really thought they both knew better.
 
Somebody needs to make a montage.

How would you pronounce Geff Jerstmann? Because they spell Jeff "Geoff" sometimes, right? Jeff has one of those names wheer you can swap the first two letters around without a whole lot of difference.

Cause they are DICKS! O_O 
 
OH YEAH! 
 
I WANNA ROCK RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
 
I'm terrible sorry (bows head in shame).

I have to mention this.........Brad mispronouncing Rasputia

When I read the thread title i was sounding different pronunciations of "Jeff" in my head
 
 JEEF...JEYF...JIFE

Adam Boyes also called you Gertzmann to your face in the TNT. What a hell!

Wow he actually said Gerstmann after making a little joke about it in the beginning of the show. It seems somebody finally told him.

Of course, in the narration he still said Gertzmann. What a hell!

" I've only ever heard Geoff Keighley pronounce it wrong on the bonus round a few times and because of that I think he's a moron, but I haven't heard too many other people getting it wrong. "

Jeff is too much of a badass. But seriously, I think Geoff was just messing with him. They do have a history on the Bonus Round(Jeff being probably the only reason I watch it).

Don't worry, Keighley is a moron, anyway. 

Dude is a fucking tool.

"Grr please go elsewhere with that shit, dick. Geoff deserves better than that."

I read that as shit-dick, but I'm happy you used the comma correctly.

Geoff is an asshole, and only cemented that with his antics in the AngryJoe interview (not to say that AngryJoe isn't also an asshole).

I really didn't like the way he conducted himself then, or indeed, ever. Guy is smarmy, man.

His last name sounds German to me, so in that case everyone is mispronouncing it. Should G-AIR-ST-mahn.

Good stuff, pal.

He's a presenter not a journalist. "

I've always found Geoff's hosting to be a bit awkward, especially in the latest Bonus Round with Jeff. Something about the questions he's asking and the way he's asking them just made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

I've always liked Keighley because of his writing and because he was one of the more vocal people when that whole "Mass Effect" sex scandal thing came about. "

I can't stand Keighley he seems like a phony.

I think it's just because the ways your mouth moves to make the 's' and 't' sounds are similar, so you're mind and mouth just do what's most comfortable which it putting the 't' first.

I used to pronounce it gertsmann. Just read it wrong the first time and never bothered to really "read" it again, until it was pointed out to me.

2 or 3 out of a lifetime of people have been able to get my name right. When I visited Whiskey Media, they didn't even try to pronounce my last name, so good on them. At least people get Jeff's name somewhere in the right ballpark. Interesting fact, I can't pronounce J sounds, so I call Jeff Seff instead, so maybe I'm not one to point out other's faults.

It's Jeff Gutsman.
