I am pretty sure at least one person has pointed that out.... I can't quite remember who.thenextofken wrote:One gag no one has noticed (I think): In the show's opening, they showed Alex coming out in his boxers, a scene from the UTOC.
Despite having at least 15 brain cells left, I did manage to miss FJ. In my favor, however, I DID pick a city that is in Asia, not Australia.harrumph wrote:I spent think time trying to decide if Indonesia was technically in Asia or not, guessed it wasn't and went away from Jakarta to Singapore.
Likewise, Ken Jennings saying "What is turquoise?" is from this game: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=2699 , WHAT A GEM! for $800. Someone could probably work out where Watson's "$1,000, same category" is from, but it won't be me.MarkBarrett wrote:That sounds like my kind of job and I verified from my tape.dhkendall wrote:I wonder if anyone can pinpoint the exact episode the Mambo Kings clip is from.
It's from this game in CINE DE BANDERAS for $500: http://www.j-archive.com/showgame.php?game_id=1907
Alex says, "The movie was The Mambo Kings."
That game also serves as a cautionary FJ wagering tale.MarkBarrett wrote:That sounds like my kind of job and I verified from my tape.dhkendall wrote:I wonder if anyone can pinpoint the exact episode the Mambo Kings clip is from.

Congrats on doing so well. I figured Sydney had to be one of those moments under the lights, at least it was a lock game so you still won. Retro good luck in becoming a five timer Monday.cherrypork wrote:Todd here. What a fun game that was to watch! We knew it had an April 1 air date, so I was expecting something, but the game was taped normally. Yes, I know Sydney is not in Asia, but brain fart. Somehow I was only thinking about island cities below the equator and lost the Asian part. Oh well.
Todd Alan Crain would be disappointed in you.MarkBarrett wrote:What I was not able to do was get to Broad City in time as I had to dismiss both Broadchurch and Broad Street that popped in first.

I'm really glad he turned me on to that show. It's hysterical.econgator wrote:Todd Alan Crain would be disappointed in you.MarkBarrett wrote:What I was not able to do was get to Broad City in time as I had to dismiss both Broadchurch and Broad Street that popped in first.
It would almost certainly turn out better that a tryout of just self-proclaimed gadabouts from Lakeland, Florida.Cat Hammarskjold wrote:Wasn't there some famous contestant who was also a hotel front desk clerk in New Orleans?

Sounds like James Arey to me.Cat Hammarskjold wrote:Wasn't there some famous contestant who was also a hotel front desk clerk in New Orleans? Maybe Jeopardy! should have a tryout of just hotel front desk clerks from New Orleans (kidding, of course).

In your interview on Friday you mentioned a costume you crocheted - a squid and a whale fighting. Well, my wife is part of an online knitting/crocheting community called "Ravelry" and they were abuzz with discussion about this. My wife asked me to ask you, should you happen to stop by here, if you could post a picture of that costume for the Ravelry crowd. (Unless, of course, that interview segment was an April Fools' joke.)cherrypork wrote:Todd here. What a fun game that was to watch!
