"Adoration of" should be enough to cue "Magi" for those who have ever heard the full phrase, Which I have, but "adoration" just seemed way too wide-open for me to get a bead on. Could be any trio for all I know, and nothing in the clue even remotely points to a religious trio. Could have been the T...

Also, for the record, media companies (I'm 99% sure J!'s production company would fall within this) are exempt from the restrictions in LA County. Thus, the post-production workflow of the show isn't going to be prevented from happening. Looking over a summary of the state order, the nearest exempt...

Wow, MarkBarrett. You gave us both the bird and the Finger (Lakes) in the same poll. Audacious.

How exactly is an episode sent out to affiliates? Will someone be able to go to the studio to do whatever it takes to send it out? Shouldn't there be an app for that? I wonder what kind of reruns they will show if the season ends early. Well, it certainly gives TPTB a lot more flexibilty than the s...

Another Common Knowledge meets IdioTest failure. How many 99 cent items can you buy with a $100 bill? .99 * 101 == 99.99(.99 * 100 == 99, 99 + .99 == 99.99) The correct answer is 101. Unfortunately both team did not do the calculations. The first team had 89. The second team fell in the trap with 1...

Ran Good Choice, 4/5 in Men, You (overthought "fraternity") and Desert (didn't realize Australia had deserts). Not only does it HAVE deserts, fully 35% of the continent is covered in true desert, and another 35% is semi-arid. [sarcasm] and then there are the parts that, like TPH, are all wet. [/sar...

With the mayor of Los Angeles declaring a state of emergency over the coronavirus, I was wondering if that means that this season of J! will either be cut short or if the remaining tapings will be delayed a while. ...It seems like everything is business as usual... Disneyland has announced it will ...

The NCAA announced that the upcoming Men’s and Women's Basketball Tournaments, a.k.a. March Madness, will go spectator-free amid growing coronavirus concerns. The NCAA will hold the games in front of essential staff and family members only. Grr...getting closer and closer to the end of April. Me no...

FINAL JEOPARDY!
Lacey Davies: 1000+2000

I'm guessing Lacey had 1000 and bet it all to reach 2000.

...which president was just before FDR, to name a few.

Now, that's the sort of trivia you should be sucking up like a Hoover.

"Duck and cover" references always remind me of these lyrics from a Jimmy Buffet song ("Waiting for the Next Explosion"): Back in the '50s they thought it made good sense To teach all the schoolchildren about civil defense Don't be scared, do not cry Just dive under your desk and kiss your ass goodb...

If it makes you feel better I said Hilo. Not sure why I did that.

Subconciously, you wanted to bookend the contestant who said "Kona".

I wasn't going to say this, and it's probably a case of "all bald people look alike" when they really don't, but the Doctor Who clue made me think that Josh looks a little bit like a much younger version of Nardole from the show. Score one in my "I learned it on J! this season" column for Don Giova...

I think all logic, reason and restraint in this thread have flown the coop. Or is it coöp?

How is Venus a TS?
I had just Narragansett for the Rhode Island clue. Would that get BMS?
Easy FJ

I think you're safe with just Narragansett. I cannot find a reference to a river or creek by that name.

Also, I agree with other two points.

Yeah. To pick anyone else would be to overthink it for no reason. If anyone did pick a different Confederate general I'd be interested in knowing what in the clue led them to their choice. How about picking a guy (Hamilton) who was never a rebel against the US and who had been dead more than 50 yrs...

RIP Mr. Peanut 1916-2020 This is one when I'm not sure the best source to link as when dealing with Super Bowl ads publicity, there can be misdirection and inaccurate information. Pick your news source for more about it and to check out the first ad video. Another ad with a funeral is supposed to r...

Some of these clues seemed a bit simple for a GOAT Tournament. I’m OK, You’re OK for the bottom row? And identifying George Burns by his picture? And Morticia Addams was a TS? What did they watch after school as a kid?

Snap. Snap.

I checked the box for Catch-22 exposure even though I've only seen it as a stage play.

If it had been a DD and I HAD to answer... that's what I'd have been forced to say, for want of not knowing the name of another position! Would NEVER have rung in. Not too many to remember: goalie, center, defenseman, wing (left and right). And “forward”, a collective term for centres and wings. It...
