I've seen about five minutes of the first ep. of The Handmaid's Tale, but J! clues, award shows, EW, TV Guide, etc. are enough to pick up little things like the "Of" names ....

Even this very board!

They won't ask about this, but the town of F***ing, Austria is now Fugging, Austria (due, primarily, to rampant sign theft and other general idiot tourist behavior)

The contestants didn't know Good Times? Damn, damn, damn!

Made it as far as Captain Marvel on the Brie Larson clue...brain not fast enough to make it all the way.

I'm counting FJ, despite the lightly spoiled nature...

I couldn't tell you a single thing about Syria, and I don't see how ANYthing about Syria could ever be in the top box. If you don't want to learn anything about the Syrian Civil War and, more notoriously, the wanton destruction of a number of World Heritage sites, fine. But that's your problem, not...

Somebody call the studio medical team, we got a burn victim here! :o Ken (or is it the judges with Alex gone?) are letting responses slide that will generate comments to the negative. Just Khan? Ken provides the first name. Song title wanted? Go ahead and give the actress's full name instead. I get ...

Poll request: this Triple Stumper: "G"-OGRAPHY $1600: K2 is also known as this, from the name of the mountain's original surveyor I'm no geography buff, yet I knew that one.

I don't think Donesh should've been negged as the two different measurements implied uneven in the clue. :| I was expecting a BMS instead of an outright neg; I've often heard TV gymnastics commentators refer to them as the "uneven parallel bars". The parallel bars are a distinct event of their own;...

Never read nor held Caterpillar
Have seen all of The Crown

No [CC] for me on J!, tried it a couple times many many years ago, but it throws my timing off.

Random chatter in World of Warcraft general chat...

"Where's this NPC I'm supposed to loot from?..."
"Have you tried turning him on and off again?"
"There we go, set him to channel 3."

That's a 1%er joke, right there (as in, 1% of the audience gets it)

My pick was I'm okay if he becomes the new host (#2) but I would still like to see as many guest hosts as possible. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity, and there are plenty of episodes to fill so let them go nuts with "What if?"

I'm not entirely sure that watching The Crown was helpful. I've watched every episode. (It's a decent history primer, but can't be taken entirely at face value - there's a fair amount of literary license in it, but major events are based on actual history.) I knew JFK was wrong because they made a ...

Has anyone even heard of Ted Lasso? (besides Vixey) :? A Salon article name dropped last month: https://www.salon.com/2020/12/08/ted-lasso-apple-tv-plus/ I saw the movie The Queen and the that was not going to help.

The writers, in the last few years, have often used definitions that are a different part of speech from the word being defined. It's really sloppy. The name of this dessert made with sponge cake also means "of little importance" Grrrrrr When is a noun not a noun? When it's a trifle? I don't get it...

Ken's reading of the clues did not seem as fast today so I expect that he received pointers after yesterday's game. 61 clues again and today was a perfectly acceptable episode of how the show can continue for many years. Yep, speed was dead on today, but it seemed the trigger guy was letting contes...

Good job on Brooke for properly pronouncing the word 'gif'.

Huh. I could have sworn she pronounced it with a 'j' sound, not like the 'g' in 'graphic'.

Should we have been pronouncing SCUBA with an 'uh' in the middle this whole time, too?

I think the sped-up reading was probably done in post-episode editing. I wonder if the new policy is to get all 60 clues done. Maybe Alex had resisted speeding up his reading or didn't want it to be sped up during the editing phase. I'm a bit puzzled about folks being distracted by KJ's "higher pit...
