Winnipeg and Black Sea seemed like negbait for Ontario and Caspian Sea. Oof, not really. Odessa is famously a Black Sea port; the Caspian Sea touches only Russia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Iran; and the J! writers never use "sea" unqualified to refer to the Caspian (if they use "sea...

I added 2/8/94: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=320

This.game is listed as a semifinal but doesn't indicate who became a finalist or prizes for 2nd and 3rd, tho those are easy to figure out.

Other than size, is there any reason whatsoever that should lead me to assume this was Concord NH instead of Concord VA? It's not like Virginia was a major source of early Presidents or anything ... Significance? Concord NH is the state capital; Concord VA is a burg of fewer than 1,500 that almost ...

... No guess on FJ! There were lots and lots and lots and lots of famous films in 1939 and I saw literally no way to narrow this down. I am with you on the FJ!, but for a different reason. It would have helped me tremendously if I'd had any idea how old MLK was... Maybe. I got stuck on the choir re...

Apparently they skipped a couple of installments to get to Six Wives of Henry VIII. There were only VI.

I finally realized how I got FJ!! I knew right away that Cook had gone to HI, and, somehow, buried deep in my head was the fact that there's a feature on Alaska's coast called Cook Inlet. I'm sure I looked it up many years back since my father's (his bday today, btw) first duty station after the aca...

Q: What's the fastest animal on earth?
A (they always say): The Cheetah!

...to which the answer is...no, it's the cow that's been pushed out of a helicopter.

(feel free to steal it; I did)

A whole new meaning for "terminal velocity".

A very familiar face is on the show today. ;) Also, Ryan Chaffee makes his debut. That familiar face certainly made an attempt. it will be fun to look back on this episode some day and fondly reminisce about the time when people on television game shows displayed their uncovered faces. I'm wonderin...

Oops! Misread the post. Nevermind.

They just had the college tournament so I doubt they want to rerun that so soon. So who knows what will happen. I just hope they don't cave to the social media masses and start airing a James-a-thon. That is my fear. He is in the middle of his run on Daytime Jeopardy if people want to see him. I wi...

I added 3/17/94: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=6613 (while typing with one eye on the archive, one eye on the NFL draft, and one ear on the phone.) That FJ was a big story at the time, so I'm not shocked that it was a triple get. It was a local story for me, so it's still an instage...

Nikki and Jane were quite the contrast for how they played. Jane reminded me of Alan Carver. https://millionaire.fandom.com/wiki/Alan_Carver

Should mention that Jane's in studio help was Louis Vertel.
TIL that L. Vertel works for Jimmy Kimmel as a writer.

On that planet daily double, I thought Jupiter from “largest” but then figured metallic hydrogen was more likely Mercury or Venus, before throwing my hands in the air and realizing I know nothing about the actual topography of these things I realized later, much later, how to reason it out using ph...

Apparently crossing off correct answers is supposed to bring Kayla good luck, since she did it last week...well, she got the answer right.

I was going to say that she reincarnated "reincarnation".

Well, given the way things went, Joe was definitely, like a quote from the movie The Blues Brothers, on a mission from God. After seeing the first three quarterfinals go the way of the sophomores, he was probably thinking 'Okay...I have to seriously end this streak right now.' and definitely came i...

Instaget FJ and then took a lap around Europe to make sure I wasn't missing something. I'm curious how this would have played if the category had been "World Borders".

The only Z store I've heard of is Zappo's.

The first "Z" retailer (well, e-tailer) to hit my brain was Zillo's.

"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...
