In the pool. I wonder what the longest time between Wheel and Jeopardy appearances is. I'm at 18 years and counting, assuming I ever get the call.

Re: On Both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune?
I spotted two former Jeopardy! champs on Wheel in the last week: Emily Herndon won $13,097 in cash and prizes last Wednesday (oddly enough, just $3 less than her combined winnings from J! and WWTBAM) and Jason Idalski (who posted here under the name "tailskid") was yesterday's big winner with a $68,416 total.

You have no idea how much I'm waiting to add myself to this list.

Thanks for the post and I gave each of them a line on their J! bios.cheezguyty wrote: ↑Wed Nov 20, 2019 11:01 pm I spotted two former Jeopardy! champs on Wheel in the last week: Emily Herndon won $13,097 in cash and prizes last Wednesday (oddly enough, just $3 less than her combined winnings from J! and WWTBAM) and Jason Idalski (who posted here under the name "tailskid") was yesterday's big winner with a $68,416 total.

So based on the multiple counterexamples in this thread alone, can we assume that #50 on this Mashable article is hogwash?

There is a Business Insider article in my Google news feed that claims that you can't be on both J! and WOF because they are sister shows...You can't believe everything you read.

Also, #49 as written is hogwash as well even though those well versed in Jeopardy mechanics understand what they were attempting to say.kprather895 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:00 pm So based on the multiple counterexamples in this thread alone, can we assume that #50 on this Mashable article is hogwash?

#48 is also false, they really sputtered to the finish. The show airs 46 weeks of games but the production cycle is generally 23 or so weeks of filming.Golf wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 10:54 pmAlso, #49 as written is hogwash as well even though those well versed in Jeopardy mechanics understand what they were attempting to say.kprather895 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 10, 2020 9:00 pm So based on the multiple counterexamples in this thread alone, can we assume that #50 on this Mashable article is hogwash?
and part of #41: After a one-on-one interview, potential contestants partake in a written quiz of 50 questions and a live round of Jeopardy! using actual buzzers.

6. Trebek and announcer Jimmy Gilbert appeared as themselves in a Jeopardy!-themed subplot of the 1992 comedy White Men Can't Jump.jeff6286 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 11, 2020 2:18 pm#48 is also false, they really sputtered to the finish.

Also, the gendered phrasing in #44 annoys me.

Ahh, Matt and I were WoF tape-day-mates! Sad I missed his J! appearance.MarkBarrett wrote: ↑Sun Jun 14, 2020 12:03 amLine added, thanks. He'll have to wait until 2024 for his next game show appearance? The pattern says he would finish third.

Peter's first game has materialized. Any way we might be able to determine the airdate?Serendipity wrote: ↑Thu Jan 05, 2012 12:04 am I know a guy here in San Francisco who was on both Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune. This was waaaay back. I am digging in my memory for his name - I think it was Peter Lallos. I know he won a brass bed on WOF. I think he was a four-time champion on J! - I don't think he made it to the TOC. I searched for him on the J! Archives site, didn't find him. Perhaps the early seasons are incomplete?
