Re: Hosting Question
I'm not a huge consumer of social media, but through the years I've seen some surprisingly hateful output from KJ. Smug, I can handle, but I have no use for extreme, pitiless snark without a solid punchline. Kudos to him for stepping into the breach, but, to paraphrase Stanley Hudson, I'd rather wat...

Re: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I was out of the room for the start of the J! round, but my son filled me in about the first TS.

Re: Glenn Kagan Sues Sony For Age Discrimination
Both at the audition and on the show, Glenn helped to build my confidence and maintain my energy. Now that both he and Maggie are gone, I wonder if players get the same friendly, helpful vibe from the newer contestant coordinators. Me too. All the staff were great, but Glenn and Maggie were beyond ...

Re: Glenn Kagan Sues Sony For Age Discrimination
Glenn ran my Chicago audition session, and he represented the show extremely well at that stage of the game and then later on at the studio. He was the first staffer to welcome the fresh meat onto the lot, and his warmth and professionalism helped break the ice and set the tone for the day. He clear...

Re: Fun with NBC's "The Weakest Link"
Lynch should be moderating the debate. Totally. As her Wreck-it-Ralph character in full combat gear. Our whole family thoroughly enjoyed the show. I adore Jane Lynch, and her puckish severity had me howling. The jokes were a bonus. The only thing I didn't care for were the rancorous exit interviews...

Nice work, Robert!
Thanks for the "genre" count.
We missed the first part of the show here in Chicago as local officials reacted to the Breonna Taylor case.

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
Last summer, in Columbus, they didn't seem to be referring to the questionnaires at all when interviewing us. I knew I was doomed at my last audition when I was the only person who was not asked anything related to the questionnaire. I guess my five stories were just too boring! I had five stories ...

Re: Fourth Podium Poll for 9/16/2020
Never knew "myriad" referred to a specific number. I actually knew the root before I knew that particular word. My dad had a book (it's still around here somewhere) called The Insomniac's Dictionary that I got into as a kid that had a bunch of stuff about words. Well, dang. I'm gonna track down tha...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
Also, besides being watched by J! staff, should we be prepared to interact with them at all? I was banished upstairs while my husband took the Zoom test today, but he says it was pretty much test only. The only chitchat was to confirm all the participants were hooked up correctly. Interaction, yes,...

Forgot to mention that when I saw the category TV SHOWS BASED ON BOOKS BY WOMEN, I confidently pre-called The Handmaid's Tale . Really surprised that didn't pay off. The writers love that book almost as much as I hate it. +1 I think Kelley's energy would've played better with a studio audience, but...

I'm pretty sure my husband hasn't taken the anytime test either, so this batch must be from the last online extravaganza.ouachiouat wrote: ↑Tue Sep 15, 2020 5:11 pmDoes anybody know if these auditions are only going out from the anytime test, or also from the official test they had a few months back?

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
How exactly does the question and answer component work, and somebody said you can jump backwards if you realize an answer was wrong? Would somebody mind explaining how that works? From what I gather from yesterday's message, the quiz will be formatted like the online version--type in each answer o...
