Was guest host Mike's description of the XYZ affair accurate? Were the French trying to bribe the Americans (as Mike claimed) or were they demanding bribes from the Americans? I've always understood it to be the latter. Talleyrand, the French diplomat, wanted a bribe before any negotiations would s...

Got Avon through the playwright angle. My wife has bought Avon and her mother used to sell it.

Never seen any in person.

Congratulations to anyone getting those FJs right in 2021.

The lottery one is gettable, or, at least, I got it, by naming the states with the three most populous urban areas.

I was trying to remember which states were the first to start a lottery.

Just the category I want when I am trying to salvage a winning FJ week. I wasn’t disappointed when I had it done just as the music started. I was worried the baseball category would go the way of the infamous football category but I joined Syed in knocking it out of the park. The (Mr.) Potato Head c...

I put Lynchburg but Tennessee popped up as the correct answer. Still got credit.

Doubt that we’ll ever see clues about Larry Nasser or John Geddert. Jeopardy! won’t touch that

I agree. Just glad he’s dead.

Former US Gymnastics coach John Geddert killed himself just before he was to be arrested on charges of human trafficking and sexual assault. He had connections with Larry Nasser, the disgraced Michigan State doctor serving a lengthy prison term for rape.

I lost the coin flip with Sudan.

They moved his casket in 2019. Not sure if they checked to see if he is still dead.

I wasn’t confident I could come up with a cosmetics company but got it halfway through the first verse.

A good game with three high scores not particularly helped by DD bets.

Mike is growing on me as a host.

He appeared to be staring at something while trying to figure out what animal they wanted.

I will confess I had never heard of the Crystal Palace. But I did know about the Great Exhibition of 1851 and got it from that. And I still maintain London is a reasonable guess for the top row if you don’t know.

I hope Ken hosts the TOC. That is not a place you want a celebrity photo op.

The Spanish enclave of Melilla, on the Moroccan coast, has taken down the last statue to Francisco Franco on Spanish soil https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-56177819 It was not until 2007 that a Law of Historical Memory was passed that attempted to recognise the suffering of victims of Francoi...

Should I go ahead and make popcorn to get ready for the social media threads when Katie Couric hosts?

Another case of not thinking things through and putting Puzo. I’ll blame it on COVID.

I'm curious to what other people are in line to be guest host after the aforementioned people (Mike Richards, Katie Couric, Bill Whittaker, Aaron Rogers, Anderson Cooper, etc.). But here's who I have in mind to possibly guest host. Will Ferrell — He played Alex in the Celebrity Jeopardy! skits on S...

Those media fact check sites come with their own heavy biases. I read their review of NYT just for laughs & it’s quite funny. I found AFRET's citation (mediabiasfactcheck.com) very interesting and informative. No laughs here. I hadn't looked at a resource of this type, but I'm sure that there are p...
