Re: Jeopardy! Interim Host Thread
Here is some encouraging new: if Jeopardy listens that is. https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Culture/reading-rainbow-host-levar-burton-jeopardy-host/story?id=76921150&cid=clicksource_4380645_19_post_hero_card_hed&fbclid=IwAR2YeLXNG8N_Wdbe420YUABjNe6J_IBRztDqnpUvLl-A0mXO_cJH_Y1BUwQ I'm sure they considered...

Re: How Did Dr. Oz Do as Host? (His actual performance, not your opinion of him)
I have no opinion of Dr. Oz outside of Jeopardy. (I'm vaguely aware of the controversies. I just choose not to care.) He was my favorite host so far. I thought he had the best announcer quality and I admired how he was to the point and did things his own way. I know it won't happen, but I would be h...

Re: score at a used games store in saint louis
Does anyone have the PS3 Jeopardy version who would like to play? I think that's the best version, and it's the one I practice on. Would be a lot of fun to organize a Boardie game online.

Re: Jeopardy 2019 North American Audition Tour
Congratulations! Very excited for you, and I'll be tuned in to the show. I'm in the pool from December 2020, and I've been wondering why nobody who took the test in 2020 seems to be getting the call yet. Your post probably explains a lot of it. There is a huge backlog of qualified contestants dating...

Re: Fun with ABC's "The Chase" [Spoilers]
Not accepting “fed” for “federal reserve”? I guess since the question was cut off there may have been a reason for this, but cmon judges. They didn't accept "Fed chairs", which they should not have. If she had just said "the Fed", I think she'd have been OK. The full question probably wanted the or...

Re: Audition Thread - Testing, Auditioning, and Getting the Call
Thank you for creating this thread. I'm eager to hear if anyone from the December-ish auditions outside California has gotten the call yet. Still waiting here.

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
In light of special circumstances of the past year, is this still the best forum to track the progress of the contestant selection process? Has anybody who auditioned since, say, November-December, gotten "the call"? I've noticed a lot of contestants are still introduced as "originally from". Does t...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
My mock game Zoom audition was last night so officially in the pool. Anyone else audition this week? I was expecting a cakewalk because the tests were over and the mock game clue values were low, but I thought the questions were HARD. Even harder than the online test. Maybe they wanted to see how p...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
There were some questions on the Jeopardy application that I was expecting, like if I had ever been on TV before (no) or if I had a criminal record (no). But there were a couple of questions on the application that surprised me. The first was if I've ever competed in trivia competitions (no). What d...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
Sorry for the multiple posts. Has anyone played a mock game on Zoom yet? I'm curious how it would work. Is there a proprietary software they are using this year for ringing in, or do you say "Buzz"? If nobody has done virtual yet, how do mock games generally go? Is it a full game of Jeopardy with sc...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
Bump!
I was beginning to lose hope. But I just received an email invitation for the final stage of the audition process: a mock game. Check your email fellow Jboardies who participated in Zoom auditions earlier this year.

Re: Hosting Question
Some people are rather disgusted with Ken being the first choice because of his tweets. I still admire and respect the GOAT himself, but let's be honest, I'd rather have him guest host instead of someone even more controversial than him. I think it's safe to say 99.9% of Jeopardy's viewership aren'...

Anyone else passed the Zoom audition test but not received a follow up email about an interview? I expected they would conduct an interview shortly and put us in the "pool" but I haven't heard anything so far.

Where to Find Win Ben Stein's Money Episodes
After Jeopardy, Win Ben Stein's Money was always my favorite game show. Besides being entertaining, I found the trivia quality was consistently high, so I've been watching the old episodes on YouTube to study for Jeopardy (I passed the test and auditioned earlier this year, but no word back yet). Wh...

Re: Local station contact list
Do you sometimes miss a Jeopardy episode with WBZ? We seem to miss a recording with them at least once a week. Monday possibly? I've thought about calling them to complain but I wanted confirmation first.

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
I just wanted to pop in again and say thank you to everyone who described their Zoom auditions. This was my first audition after many years of passing the test, so I wanted to get it right, and your comments were helpful for mental preparation. In case it can help anyone else, I'll describe briefly ...
