Re: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
The conceit of To Tell the Truth was that the "real" person was sworn to tell the truth while the imposters could and would lie. Yes, the basic idea was (and is - there is a current version) that the questions are supposed to probe who really knows the truth. If the imposter gives an awkw...

Re: 2020 Jeopardy North American Audition Tour
I knew I was doomed at my last audition when I was the only person who was not asked anything related to the questionnaire. I guess my five stories were just too boring!triviawayne wrote: ↑Thu Sep 17, 2020 4:16 pm Last summer, in Columbus, they didn't seem to be referring to the questionnaires at all when interviewing us.

Courtesy of Rex Kramer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iVXiKgFZHYY&feature=youtu.be&t=54 To my ears, by the way, the Real Berry says it more like Berry and the Fake Berrys say it more like Barry. But one thing that has become clear since this all started is that most of us, mergers and non...

FWIW, I'm a Kerry and I pronounce my name the same way I pronounce Carrie and carry. You in fact prove the point more than anyone else here. To my ears your board name is an almost pun - good enough for a message board name, but not exact. But to your ears, which are obviously the ones that matter,...

Re: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Come to think of it, this is actually a dead end. Berry is the pronunciation we all agree on. We all agree (I think) that Berry the name sounds like berry the fruit. If his name actually were Barry, that is where the confusion would arise.

Re: Tuesday, September 15, 2020 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Maps on the internet of various dialectal boundaries do seem to show Michigan as being firmly in the merger camp. The Wikipedia article did not mention any distinctively African-American Vernacular English approach to the merger. The South, however, from which Gordy's Great-Migration-era parents ori...

Re: "Barbara Lowe" 2nd Episode
This is somebody who flat out lied and cheated to appear on the show and eventually got caught. Then threw a hissy and threatened a lawsuit when they didn’t want to pay her what she basically stole from someone else. So, aside from archive purposes, why are people talking about her? By doing so, yo...

For me, the highlight of this rerun was seeing Sofia again. Here's an article about her that ran in the Chicago Tribune the day after this game aired: https://www.chicagotribune.com/news/ct-xpm-2004-06-03-0406030264-story.html Thanks for the article. Interesting that it ran the very day after this ...

Re: J! to Tape Without Live Audience
I know that. I was just pointing out that they made a mistake with the days of the week. You're really enthusiastic about this, and that's awesome. But — it's a really weird look to dispute primary sources. You should try rolling with the punches a little bit more. I think you guys are misunderstan...

Re: 2020 Online Test announced - Jan 28, 29, 30
Is this the first time Providence has been on the list? I can't say for sure, but it is interesting that they're doing Providence and not Boston. Granted, the cities are only an hour from each other, but I'd imagine just in terms of raw population, Boston (and the immediate outlying metro cities an...

Re: It's happening!!! The GOAT Tourney, w/ Brad + Ken + James
For those who watched Jeopardy! in the 80s and 90s, do any of you recall the syndicated version airing new episodes while Super Jeopardy! began airing on ABC? Super Jeopardy! aired on Saturday night (paired with an ill-fated game show version of Monopoly). I think even then my local station aired y...

Re: Article about quiz show scandals - mentions Holzhauer
The more interesting comment was the one that claimed that Herb Stempel auditioned for Jeopardy! in the 1990s. Has anyone ever heard a rumor of this before?

If there's an FJ clue about a recent movie that I know instantly I figure it's easy, and I knew this one instantly. My wife said she thinks they should have removed the bit about "in Chinese and English" to make it more challenging. That certainly would have done the trick, but I still do...

Re: Thursday, October 3, 2019 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
1. I wish Jeopardy would release the unread clues. We rarely get baseball categories on this show and most of the contestants stay away from them. I knew I was in trouble the moment they avoided the category while standing at their podiums and staring at most of the clues in the other categories. V...

Re: The Official TPH Education Thread (POTENTIAL GAME DAY SPOILERS)
Which leaves shows, it would be logical to try to think of a much beloved show that ended in 1964 and could have had a big finale. I Love Lucy was 1957, not the worst guess but a bit off. Gilligan's Island ended in 1967, would be logical to think lots of people tuned in to see if they get off the i...
