Terry Jones has died (see 2020 current events thread). He's the second member of Monty Python to die, after Graham Chapman in 1989. Can anyone think of a group whose first two deaths occurred further apart? I have one in mind, but I'm curious what boardies come up with before I post it. A few that ...

ABC already has a game show on the air that requires three contestants... "Press Your Luck."

That's exactly what ABC will be doing if they try to further capitalize on these guys...

BuzzerBlog has been saying that the American version of The Chase should come back and it would be perfect to have Ken and Brad as two of the chasers. Having all three as Chasers on ABC would fulfill both what ABC wants and what Buzzerblog wants. Yet James was the one the show’s producers considere...

Yeah, I have always heard that TPTB don't want another contestant who would go on a long run like Jennings did in his original appearances.

Maybe I'll try consoling myself with this thought: THAT is why I've never gotten The Call.

Then why hasn’t my phone rung

Anyone from Trivia Nationals gotten the call?

Two that I've heard of.

Who?

I can’t believe this thread has come this far without one mention of them competing on Naked and Afraid

The average casual viewer likely has NEVER (in their memory) seen him play, or Ken Jennings either for that matter. Both of them played just 10 months ago, so the average casual viewer has almost certainly seen them. You'd think, wouldn't you? But judging from social media, today's average casual v...

Personally, enough already with the special tournaments. GOAT was wonderful. Let's bask in its beauty for a while. agreed...we've seen the end result how many times. that's not to say it wouldn't change, but we've beaten this horse to death for now, and we all know the Alex era will end. Wait until...

Just want to make sure I'm not missing something...

is it available for use yet, or is this still just a signup? I signed up a while ago, but haven't heard of available for use yet.

my prediction is for Ken to win tonight because as of last Friday, abc.com had regular programming on their schedule for Wednesday. They have since changed it to show GOAT lasting all 7 games

I'm still in the pool. Wish I could take the test for real. Ditto. In the pool until March. +1 but I hope I never need to take the online test again! Me too, but I'm losing faith in getting the call. Time is running out. Good luck. If you exit the pool in March, I'd advise you to take the test agai...

I'm still in the pool. Wish I could take the test for real. Why? Taking the test for real means maybe not getting randomly drawn to have an audition to put you in to the pool that gets you a shot at being on the show...I'd much rather have my current position of being in the pool than being out and...

I'm able to watch ABC shows through on demand. I didn't know this until a week ago. I had forgotten to tape the special leading up to the GOAT tournament, but fortunately stumbled across it on on demand. The only drawback was that the fast forward option was disabled which meant that commercials we...

Aw, we won't hurt you. Come on. Lean in a little closer....

That might work better if you didn’t have a knife in one hand, a fork in the other, and a napkin tied around your neck.

In part 1, Alex said they started writing before he finished reading the clue. Is this really possible? Does this mean contestants have more than 30 seconds to write their answers? I don't suspect this would often be of any consequence, but would be good to know. [Wobbles cane and speaks in creaky ...
