Hank Aaron has passed away at age 86. Known as "Hammerin' Hank" he broke Babe Ruth's home record of 714 home runs while playing for the Atlanta Braves. Putting this here instead of in the discussion because I could see the show making the link in a clue: MC Hammer was nicknamed Hammer by the Oaklan...

They won't ask about this, but the town of F***ing, Austria is now Fugging, Austria (due, primarily, to rampant sign theft and other general idiot tourist behavior)

At least we've still got Dildo, Nova Scotia!

Intercourse, PA
Blue Ball, PA

Amish country is interesting...

I don’t think anyone doubts that in September we’ll see new permanent host with a new set. But anyone else wondering if they raise the dollar amounts? The show doesn’t need to, but this would be a good time to do it, and the budget is certainly there as I wouldn’t expect the new host to get as much ...

I think he's doing OK, but still want to see what the other guest hosts are like - well I do think he's doing OK, but not great. I also don't think some of the other guest hosts are going to be all that great either, and the only one I'm really interested in seeing is Bill Whitaker. I'm not impresse...

I will renew my begging for a new host who has no connection to or interest in politics. I'd also be willing to bet, because Jeopardy! is all about demonstrating your knowledge of facts, that they're at bare minimum not Republicans -- considering the GOP has no concept of that sorta thing. Keep tal...

I know how this works. (I recently had to explain to someone that Wheel and Jeopardy! tape neither simultaneously nor live.)

how does a show not tape live?

Whittaker is 69 years old. I certainly don’t see him as a serious candidate for permanent host. Alex was 80...so is 11 years not enough? Alex was 80 after he'd hosted for 37 years. I wish Whittaker good health & a long life, but he won't be hosting anywhere near that long. Given that the search is ...

The real question here is if Aaron Rodgers hosts, will the contestants know what it is he does for a living...

Ken was reading fast, and while that was strange after being used to Alex, it wasn't bad. I know Tanay's background, I'm guessing he was going for anticipation buzzing in at the start instead of reacting to the light. He caught on quick though, and had the result I was expecting to see. He'll be a g...

Well this is harder than I thought.

Logging in at 12:55 EST to record Jeopardy, and realizing it won't be Alex...

I'd say it's just a matter of availability. You have to seek out Bye Bye Birdie. The Accountant is a recent mass market product.

Not much of a seek, available for rental on both YouTube and Amazon.

I don’t know all the S&P rules but Ken hosting practice games while still a player is a little weird. Maybe not crossing a line but getting close to it. Hadn't heard that story; hope it may an urban legend. I think "little weird" may be an understatement, "a lot weird" more closely matches my react...

Twitter bans Trump permanently

Shoot... I know Alex wanted to leave a final 30 second message on his last episode, and I wish he was able to do so. The montage at the end was very nice nonetheless. I know he said it, but I like it better this way...he kept doing exactly what he loved doing right to the end. I've been wondering i...

It will be interesting to see what they do with the opening credits Monday.

I don't see any reason to change it at all right now.

The 2021 NCAA Men's D-I basketball is expected to take place entirely in and around Indianapolis in late March. The venues are expected to include: * Lucas Oil Stadium (home of the NFL's Colts) * Bankers Life Fieldhouse (home of the NBA's Pacers) * Indiana Farmers Coliseum (home court for IUPUI [In...

Also to consider is how not everyone that is good enough to pass the test, and lucky enough to get randomly drawn to audition, will have an interview that makes the contestant coordinators feel they will be good on TV. I used to interview horribly, looking back I can easily see why I wasn't picked ...

On another note, production will resume on January 11th. We know the show opened to contestants from the rest of the US in December, but with whatever rules are in place...maybe the show will put up those velvet ropes again? Are you saying the first tapings of 2021 are on January 11? From what I’ve...
