I recall some game show hosts years ago mentioning they taped five shows in one day.

I don’t mind Alex saying things like “yesterday’s show” or wishing us a Merry Christmas when it is really mid-October. But acting like a player didn’t go out and get drunk at a Nrw Year’s Eve party is stretching it a bit.

I did get a chuckle from some of the people on the Facebook page wondering if the show would be off the air or who would be filling in for him.

I don't mean to be morbid, but maybe someone else recalls the episode of "The Joker's Wild" that aired the very day Jack Barry's passing was reported. One of the contestants was a funeral director/mortician, and the host joked, "Hey, we all gotta go sometime!"

Here's wishing AT a speedy, speedy recovery. He's a hard-workin' guy, but if he needs to rest his noggin even more, they can always rerun the Austin episodes.

(My note: I still personally think that this March 27 will become March 13 but obviously nothing has been confirmed.)

Our local station reported AT's return on their post-Jeopardy! news broadcast this afternoon. They showed a couple still photos from a taping, and he's looking good! :)

Thanks for sharing that video, Andy. I was especially tickled to see one of my pub trivia teammates (Eric Berman) in there.

Per my records, it was supposed to be the show airing April 6 (taped December 13). That date had the 2-week College Championship built into it, though.

The J! website gives the dates of the College Championship as April 9-20 and the Teachers Tournament as May 7-18. I can attest to the fact that the two weeks of games airing between the tournaments were taped this week. The week of April 23 was taped 1/23, and I was fortunate to attend the taping of all five games for the week of April 30 on 1/24 (I'm not sure whether to call it yesterday or today since I haven't been to sleep yet). Alex mentioned the Teachers Tournament (with the usual "the champ will need to wait two weeks to defend his/her title"). I don't know if he said anything Tuesday to the effect of "wasn't that an exciting College Championship", but I'd be surprised if he didn't.

So if we kick that back two weeks he had his surgery over the weekend of March 23/26.

Thanks for the information.
