The archive currently has a comment about the 1984 election but notes the EC hadn’t officially voted yet. While the clue writers didn’t own a crystal ball it was a poor choice given the answer could be wrong by the time the show aired. I would have put it on the November 4 episode where an election...

I was going through some old clues on the archive and came across this FJ clue from December 4, 1984: "President elected to 2nd term with 523 electoral votes, the greatest number in any election" http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=355 The correct response was FDR, who amassed all those EV...

Probably Couric and Jennings are the only actual Auditions so far. As mentioned in the video a little upthread, Bialik holds a Ph.d. in neuroscience, so I would say she checks the "gravitas" box. And having just turned 45 last month, she's the right age to have the potential for a decades-long run ...

So, 6 weeks of Ken. 2 weeks of Mike Richards. One week of Katie, Bill, Aaron, Mayim. That is 12 weeks booked. Assuming those are consecutive weeks, the will need new hosts in early April. I wonder if any other former Jeopardy players will take a turn? Where was it announced that the latter four are...

If even a temporary hosting gig would disqualify someone from competing in future supertourneys (by virtue of having been employed by the show), I would think that would be a huge disincentive to James in particular, and maybe some others. And TPTB may not WANT people like James (and Brad) to be re...

$11,000 plus FJ

For no. 48 (RHYME TIME, "one scrawny small equine"), I had "Skinny hinny," which I think fits the clue (rather than the apparent intended correct response of "bony pony"). Judges?

Playing jff, I got 46. My misses: 19. NHO "The Masked Singer." Said "Clowns" just to say something. 35. Was trying to remember E.L.'s last name, and said "Gray" instead of "James." 41. Frozen for Wicked . 47. A RTFQ error. Thought it was asking for a hunter rather than an archer, so I answered way t...

Roald Dahl's oeuvre is not a strength for me as lit goes.

I had both the Unabomber and Kaczynski.

J! was pre-empted in my area on Wednesday.

Alex and Usha each went way too far south for their guesses and we'll see how posts go here for it possibly being a poll choice.

French Guiana isn't a country, so there's that.

Would they have accepted just "Colassus" on the second DD? I got that part, but if he gave me a BMS, I would've been at a loss.

Highly unlikely. "Colossus" is a generic term for a large statue.

Mistletoe for holly.

I negged with third wheel for fifth wheel.

J! was pre-empted during its usual timeslot in my market on Wednesday.

I did have "the 85 theses" on Monday.

Then you should have it marked wrong, not right.

Have you noticed what key is immediately to the left of the "9" on a keyboard?

I did have "the 95 theses" on Monday. "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" for the holiday song.

The Clemson clue was way, way undervalued.

Ireland was part of the UK but not of Great Britain and therefore Stoker would have been a UK citizen but not a British one. The adjective "British" refers to the UK as a whole. This may be strange and indeed controversial -- just as it's controversial that citizens of the United States are referre...

I agree with the sentiment that this FJ was an unfortunate lapse by the writers. Since Bram Stoker was Irish, Dracula , despite the fact that it was penned in London, is no more a "British" novel than The Sun Also Rises (written by Hemingway in Paris) or The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas (writte...

:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( :mrgreen: :( On Wednesday's FJ I got to plastics instantly, but got stuck on Casablanca (which I sort of knew was released in 1942), not 1941, for the other movie. That clue needed more than 30 seconds. Would have been better suited to LL. David Copperfield on Fri...
