Re: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Prior to being renamed the “Port Authority of New York and New Jersey,” it was the “Port of New York Authority” although frequently called the “New York Port Authority.” I thought “Port Authority” on its own was not specific enough so something to tie it to NYC was needed. Although given how the nam...

Re: Season 39 preemptions
Silly. Shows should only be pre-emptied for news that has an immediate potential impact on viewers. Despite ABC’s love of Barbara Walter’s, her death has no immediate potential impact on almost all viewers. But it’s what I expect from ABC and their affiliates. Here in Reno, NV where Jeopardy airs on...

Re: Tuesday, March 8, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Had Final halfway through the clue. I almost did better. Skipped too far ahead with Tivo and saw the clue just long enough to see “Mark, Roger, and Maureen” before my hitting rewind took effect so immediately said “What is La Boheme.” Then when I saw the full clue, realized I assumed wrong about wh...

Re: Monday, January 10, 2022 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I grew up a couple of towns away from Short Hills and found this an incredibly obscure question. No one would have any reason to have heard of Short Hills unless you lived in Northern NJ or knew someone from there. Not sure how it qualifies over any number of wealthy suburbs to be the richest, exce...

As a soccer referee, I know that technically, the correct question for Foul Play $400 is "caution," not "yellow card." We caution the players, then show the yellow card to communicate that a caution has been given. A player never "gets" a yellow card because we don't &...

Re: Friday, October 29, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Now, musical theatre is one of my wheelhouse categories, and I've seen Wicked several times. However, I reflexively responded The Wizard of Oz, in which I happened to play in a pit orchestra early in 2020. Wikipedia tells me that the musical version has toured. Do I get my money back after the comm...

Re: Friday, October 15, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
One of mayim's affectations seems to be that in the Jeopardy round she says "there's a daily double," when there is only one. And in the double jeopardy round she says, "there's the Daily Double," when there are two. I recall Alex doing similar on occasion. And me wanting to scr...

Re: Monday, September 27, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Missouri has many paradoxical pronunciations (such as Versailles, pronounced ver-SAILS, and Nevada, pronounced ne-VAY-da). There's a road near where I live called Gravois, pronounced GRA-voy. I always thought that either GRA-voys or gra-VWAH would make more sense. Illinois does as well. Des Plaines...

Re: LeVar Burton doesn't WANT your stupid job
Getting really tired of all these popular press articles that keep referring to Burton as a "fan favorite." I get the distinct impression that most of them think a Venn diagram of Jeopardy fans and LeVar Burton fans has the two circles almost identical whereas it appears that they actually...

Re: Monday, September 13, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
I'm happy to be corrected, but I'm pretty sure the reasoning for Final Jeopardy was supposed to go like this: religious freedom + Baptist = Roger Williams → Rhode Island Without the 'Baptist' part of the clue, I don't think there'd be an easy way for your average contestant to narrow it down to Rho...

Re: Monday, September 13, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
Did anyone else notice a difference in the audio? Something about it seemed different to me and Mike Richards sounded more sibilant than I remembered. Yes. The acoustics were different. I'm no audio engineer but it wouldn't surprise me that even the minor set changes changed the acoustics given the...

Re: How Long Will Mike Richards Host Jeopardy!?
So a week of Richards September 13-17 and then who knows what. If Maiyim can’t commit to the full time job, call David Faber yesterday. Maybe even edit him into the five Richards episodes reading the clues. I also thought of the idea of editing in someone else reading the clues. It would probably b...

Re: Jeopardy! Interim Host Thread
I found Richards way too "slick" for a show like Jeopardy. Sort of an oily, used-car salesman vibe with too much of a pasted-on smile. Plus there have been changes to J! rulings (such as the Berry/Barry ridiculousness) since he became EP that suggest he is not good for the overall J! brand...

Re: Monday, August 2, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
As soon as I saw Waldorf I thought of salad and Astoria . Salad was easy to eliminate, so I went with Astor. I started to second guess when I remembered that a J.J.A went down on the Titanic, but just figured it was a descendant. It was JJA IV. I got stuck knowing that an Astor went down on the Tit...
