There is no Dade County any more. It's Miami-Dade. I never really knew why the name was changed, but here's what Wikipedia says: On November 13, 1997, voters changed the name of the county from Dade to Miami-Dade to acknowledge the international name recognition of Miami. Voters were acting pursuan...

Maybe they will show the 1991 College tournament to pick up the 20 clues missing from the final.

Probably wishful thinking... my sense is they have a preference for the post-HD content

I'm surprised the pre-taping review of the week's clues didn't catch today's mention of Kruger National Park in WE'LL GIVE YOU PAWS $400, which just as easily could have been played before yesterday's COINS $2000 asking for Kruger, and would have potentially given it away to a contestant waiting to ...

If even a temporary hosting gig would disqualify someone from competing in future supertourneys (by virtue of having been employed by the show), I would think that would be a huge disincentive to James in particular, and maybe some others. And TPTB may not WANT people like James (and Brad) to be re...

Here 's the competition: BEST SPOKEN WORD ALBUM (INCLUDES POETRY, AUDIO BOOKS & STORYTELLING) Acid for the Children: A Memoir, Flea Alex Trebek - The Answer Is..., Ken Jennings Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth, Rachel Maddow Catch...

I didn't even realize until you made this post that the day they are resuming production, is the sixteenth anniversary of Ken's defeat to Nancy Zerg

Which is also the 16th anniversary of the Archive

I spent more money on different antenna rigs than I had any right to trying to get reliable reception. Never achieved good OTA acquisition, and I live in my urban center.

My first 5/5 on FJ! in many moons, although I don't really know if I would have gotten Philippines under gameplay conditions, since I spent a long time thinking about what island could possibly be named "Hippophiler" or something of that nature. I mentioned on this board a week or two ago that one o...

I've said it before, but for me certain so-called silent L's don't get explicitly pronounced, but they do color the preceding vowel, enough so that I wouldn't call them silent. Yoke vs. yolk is one example; I don't hit the L the way I would in "bulk" or "milk," but I pronounce the O farther back in...

I didn't even use the "practical" part: that just threw me off track for a bit. Musical + 1981 debut + West End? What else could it be? Practical Suburban Strains , The Practical Best Little Whorehouse In Texas , Practical I'm Getting My Act Together And Taking It On The Road , Practical Ipi Tombi ...

In a weird bit of reverse Baader–Meinhof this same night I watched an old 1950s Popeye cartoon with my daughter, in which the villain (not Bluto, for once) climbed to the top of a Swiss Alp only to find a St. Bernard at the top (spoiler, really, Popeye in a suit) and my daughter asked, "What's that?"

OMG. I was just talking with her about her original Ohio hometown weeks ago. That and the loss of Berek Marcus makes this a hard week.

So you use a verbal contract between an agent and and actor, where there would be no union involved; and a simple Google search regarding the existence of oral contracts to support your theory that an on-air talent to host a nationally syndicated show "might" not have one in place???????? I can't s...

They showed footage of the land and a hike through it in the 20/20 special that aired on the day of Alex's death (link to full program below), at 21:23-21:43.

I read Benjamin Franklin's autobiography kind of recently and I don't remember the part where he restrained a tyrant. Was he so modest that he omitted any mention of his involvement in the American Revolution and the defeat of the forces of George III? There was a lot about printing. Some parts abo...

Ryan Reynolds discussed his final phone call with Alex Trebek a couple of months ago. Reynolds read some clues for the show that appeared in the final GOAT game that aired in January and in a regular play game that aired in February. It seems like Alex wanted Reynolds to return to do some more readi...

Whenever good old Ben Franklin comes up in Final I think of Emily Zhang , who lost 2005 Back to School game 5 when she spelled it "Bejamin". If LinkedIn directed me to the right person, I think she may have just finished medical school, which she indicated was her goal in her 2005 Teen Tournament in...
