Re: College Tournament taping postponed
Strange indeed
The website shows audience tickets available for tapings on Jan 18, 23 and 24, so I'm speculating this has nothing to do with Alex's well-being

The 18th is new. Tapings had previously been scheduled for the 16th and 17th.

Re: College Tournament taping postponed
March would seem a better time to tape the college tournament as many are on spring break then.

The Reddit post disappeared. I think somebody opened his big mouth who wasn't supposed to.
Also, I dig the Reddit embed thing. The new version of the Board software has some pretty cool features.

There was a post on the show’s Instagram page where Alex said he had surgery in December due to a fall. He said he expects to return to work soon.

I had tickets to attend the January 10th taping, and just called to find out it's been cancelled, along with January 9th.

Re: College Tournament taping postponed
I'm in Southern California, so I'll reschedule for another time. I'd been thinking about going for years, though, and finally set it up a few weeks ago. I've actually been to the studio before (back when the tests were held there), but it would be great to see a taping.opusthepenguin wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 2:54 pmBummer, man. Will you be able to reschedule or does this just mean you don't get to go?

January 9 & 10 were the tape dates of the College tournament.

Interesting. I figured that might be the case, but neither the website nor my confirmation gave any indication of that.OntarioQuizzer wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 5:06 pmJanuary 9 & 10 were the tape dates of the College tournament.

I took this adjustment (vs. a cancellation as a hopeful sign for a short recovery time for Mr. Trebek.
But just now I took a look at the Jeopardy tickets page and I immediately get the error "sorry, there are no tickets available at this time"
So...
did they end up cancelling the January 18,23-24 tape dates mentioned above?
or could they have all gotten booked since Wednesday?
I'm hoping it's the latter.

Re: College Tournament taping postponed
Best wishes to Alex for a speedy and full recovery.
Also, I wonder whether they will drop the gimmick of episodes being recorded the same day they aired in light of this? Consider Alex telling the leader on the Jan 1st show "clearly, you didn't stay up late partying last night". Probably not.

When were this week’s episodes filmed. I was wondering if he had fallen yet.

Re: College Tournament taping postponed
Can you think of a show that *does* openly acknowledge it's pre-recorded on a regular basis? Granted, Jeopardy is one of the more egregious offenders, but it's as old as pre-recorded television.IronNeck wrote: ↑Fri Jan 05, 2018 8:27 pm Best wishes to Alex for a speedy and full recovery.

Keep in mind the recording is for our benefit, not theirs
