Re: Friday, January 13, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I've been good friends with Morbeedo for about 3.5 years. We play on the same pub trivia team and we were teammates in Battle of the Brains at SporcleCon. I watched him prepare literally for years for his appearance on the Alex Trebek Stage, and I knew how good he was. We discussed how, if he had to...

Re: Friday, October 28, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I'm annoyed these people are going to the TOC instead of actual champions. Rowan is an elite player, on J! and in trivia generally. They're better than many of the players who qualified for the TOC the old-fashioned way, and absolutely capable of beating anyone in this TOC field. I was against the ...

Re: New ToC format speculation thread
Here's the problem I have giving byes to the top winners. Not every season is going to have a 40 and 38 game winner. Sure, you can look at the S38 standings and see how dominant the top three are in games won. But if the top champ in S39 wins eight games, do the top three or six really deserve spec...

Re: J! archive - questions about clarification notes on clues
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...

J! archive - questions about clarification notes on clues
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 al...

Re: Jeopardy! Interim Host Thread
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...

Re: Jeopardy! Interim Host Thread
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...

Re: Hosting Question
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...

Re: Online Test Recap & Discussion (Central), January 29, 2020
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?

Roald Dahl's oeuvre is not a strength for me as lit goes.
I had both the Unabomber and Kaczynski.

Re: FJs for the 12/2/19 week
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.
