This is so sad. Condolences to his family.

If the new champ goes on a long run we can say that the opponents that he defeated were Fochted.

Anderson Cooper had a show on CNN and is also on 60 Minutes.

They should have Cooper host exactly one Jeopardy show every year and that should be the New Years Eve show.

At some point Ken should make a "Ken Jennings" reference about a superchamp the way that Alex did.

I voted for "Sorry, but I hope they find someone else." No offense to Ken, but the reason I don't want him as permanent host is because then, anyone who Ken played against would be ineligible to be invited to future Jeopardy! tournaments because of the 1950s quiz show scandals, and I don't want the...

After seeing Ken host for two games I can say this: he brings a razor sharp mind and a quickness that the other host candidates cannot compete with. He's into and on top of the game the way that a good sports announcer is.

His passing is a rare occasion when millions of people who never literally met the man will feel genuine sorrow and reflect upon his class and courage.   He performed at the highest level to the end, which is remarkable with the effects of his particular illness and its therapies.  His interactions ...

Do you notice anything in common between say, WHH and JFK with regards to these Presidents?

No.

I can't even remember out of eight planets which is the largest.

It's Uranus

Another Don Juan here.

For FJ I went with Frankenstein. Did anybody else go with this? I think it's not a bad guess, particularly if you thought of Young Frankenstein or Bride of Frankenstein , but I think those for whom the Hammer versions are the definitive Frankenstein adaptations would have remembered Castle Frankens...

For FJ I went with Frankenstein.

Even if Stoker was associated with England, he is commonly termed as an Irish novelist.

I checked the box for "I saw the off Broadway play of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest in 1972 that had Danny DeVito in the cast".

Nobody beats the regex whiz.

Very good interview with a J! writer. https://www.vulture.com/2019/10/jeopard ... gn=vulture

I have to wonder what the level of difficulty of the answer/questions will be. GEOLOGY $2000: Beginning at Earth's formation 4.6 billion years ago it was the first geological eon. Answer: What is Hadean?(Precambrian is a supereon.) RUSSIA $2000: The Matochkin Strait separates Severny Island and Yuz...

I have to wonder what the level of difficulty of the answer/questions will be. If they set it at the highest level, the expanded prime time audience may only be able to appreciate the drama of the competition, and go numb if they try to play along. I'll enjoy it for the drama of the competition and ...

For FJ at first I took the "city of light" TOM to mean Los Angeles but the 1901 major event was a stronger TOM for Buffalo and I switched.

In Roger Craig's famous first game of the 2011 TOC final, he ended with $50,000. James Holzhauer, in a seemingly average game, ended here with $49,326.

Fun fact: if Yu Darvish married Emma Boettcher and took her last name he would be Yu Boettcher.

I will be checking the box in the weekly poll stating that I teared up at Dhruv's FJ response. Pancreatic cancer can throw you curveballs. I found out today that I have to do another three months of chemo in order to be operable. But my long term survival chances will be quite good after that. I'm a...
