Nice to see that I was wrong, or at least overly pessimistic about the return of the show
. Alex looks better than I expected, but I know they can hide anything with makeup and wardrobe.
The timing of our local station has changed and my DVR picked it up in progress with Alex finishing the opening explanations. Did Johnny Gilbert introduce the contestants and explain that "This ISSSSSS JEOPARDY!"? I will try to hack the DVR if it misses it again the net few days.
Objectively, the local players were of high quality and did a good job. The Spice Girls story was cute and the Beckham clue was the closest thing I know about them.
I said Pantheon and Hippodrome, and finally committed to Sistine because I didn't know where the Pantheon was or if it was extant in Michaelangelo's time or now. Based on the scary long-eared man-beast posting earlier, I guess it is still standing, but infested with failed gargoyle experiments

Welcome back, J!, and boardies at the requisite 6 feet of distance.
