Re: Thursday, April 15, 2021 Game Recap and Discussion (SPOILERS)
The first segment was categories 4-6 completed and that looked unusual on my scoresheet. cheezguyty, when was the last time that happened? It looks like the last time was February 12 (Ken #25, with an assist from Dr. Markaisa Black), and before that was October 6 (this time, Ken was the guest prese...

Not surprisingly, this was the first regular-play game to feature two contestants who had won four or more previous times. There was a possibility that it could have happened back in 1994 had Dan Seiden gotten this FJ clue right, as Tom Nichols was brought back the following Monday for another chanc...

Here's one that Mark gets credit for: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=4601#final_jeopardy_round! In his book, Harry Eisenberg pegged the change to the latter part of Season 6 (1990). He also said that "[...] the viewers have never been informed of the change and so they must think...

Anyone see something wrong in this clue? "Monarchos in 2001 & this horse in 1973, still the record holder, are the only horses to run the Kentucky Derby in under 2 minutes." The response taken (Secretariat) is still correct even if the clue were given properly, but the clue should act...

That is one of only two games in the Archive where the contestants had a negative total going into DJ; in the other...

Show #7286 had a clue about Austin (Texas) immediately following a clue about (Buck) Rogers.
That game was the one where Buzzy Cohen (who beat Austin in the ToC) dethroned Andrew Pau (who lost to Austin in the ToC)!
