IIRC He dodged another bullet in his 5th game. If his opponent had correctly answered FJ, it would've been "Buh-Bye!"
And that is what constitutes "a J! player winning because of luck" in the alternate universe in which KJ resides.

Thanks for the article. Interesting that it ran the very day after this episode. Maybe a sign that the show was trying to build publicity in every way possible, knowing well what was about to happen. But the most interesting part was not about Sofia at all, but this glimpse into the pre-online-test world:floridagator wrote: ↑Mon May 04, 2020 8:08 pm For me, the highlight of this rerun was seeing Sofia again. Here's an article about her that ran in the Chicago Tribune the day after this game aired:

I wonder if the passing percentage is similar for the online test today.Lidskog was speaking to about 60 slightly bleary-eyed game-show hopefuls, who had just finished the trivia quiz. (Only six passed.)
Like you, I wouldn't be shocked. But I lean toward thinking that the simpler explanation works just as well. They decided to run the GOAT tourney because it got good ratings in its original run on ABC. They realized this would give them two weeks minus a couple of half hour games. They kicked around some ideas for two more games to run and the KJ bookends made the most sense. They say KJ's first game hasn't been rerun since its original release. (Does that include GSN?) I don't know if that's true of his last game as well. Either way it makes sense to let the old fans see the games again and the new crowd see them for the first time.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 11:29 am My wife thinks airing Ken's first game and then the GOAT tourney is a preview to Ken being announced as Alex's replacement.

I wouldn't be disappointed if this were the case, but I just have the feeling it's not what's going to happen. Ken has shot down every single rumor of being Trebek 2.0 out there. People have pointed out the conflict of interest in terms of connections (Kennections?) to quiz bowl/trivia circuit contestants - if you put Ken in, you're basically dumping 100 gallons of bleach into the contestant pool, particularly for any ToCs.DanKirshner wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 12:29 pmHopefully Alex continues on. If not, though, Ken is personable, quick on his feet and comfortable in front of the camera. He would be a good choice.This Is Kirk! wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 11:29 am My wife thinks airing Ken's first game and then the GOAT tourney is a preview to Ken being announced as Alex's replacement.

I don't think they started doing the daytime run until around the 2012-13 season, when it was listed as a repeat of Jeopardy! They changed it to Daytime Jeopardy.
Where I live, year-old games have been airing since 2002, if not earlier.gameshowfandanny wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:53 pmI don't think they started doing the daytime run until around the 2012-13 season, when it was listed as a repeat of Jeopardy! They changed it to Daytime Jeopardy.
What an awesome idea! I would even pay money to see AT as a contestant.talkingaway wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:24 pm That said, I probably would love to see Ken host, and the first games back be Celebrity J!. No, not because I'm a big fan of celebs on game shows - I'm honestly not. But can anyone think of a perfect celebrity for Ken's first show? One who might have some extra free time and be willing to come back to the Sony studios, if only out of habit?
Oh, so that means Ken's run probably aired in the year-old run on June 1-July 22, September 5-16, October 3-14, October 24-November 8, and November 23-29, 2005.Fleeboy wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 11:04 pmWhere I live, year-old games have been airing since 2002, if not earlier.gameshowfandanny wrote: ↑Tue May 05, 2020 4:53 pmI don't think they started doing the daytime run until around the 2012-13 season, when it was listed as a repeat of Jeopardy!

Add a week to the dates from September on - 2005 had a seven-week summer hiatus.gameshowfandanny wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 11:26 amOh, so that means Ken's run probably aired in the year-old run on June 1-July 22, September 5-16, October 3-14, October 24-November 8, and November 23-29, 2005.
Oh, that's true.

The name of the show is different in most listings, so you probably missed it. In syndication, the show formerly known as Jeopardy! is now listed as Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time from 5/5-5/14, and doesn't record on my FiOS DVR (unless you record it separately and make sure that you enable "record repeats".)buckeyebrain wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 3:43 pm So I'm a tad confused. I make liberal use of the DVR (since I'm currently on YouTube TV, that means Library). I got the "Ken's First Game" and watched it last night, but got nothing for last night's timeslot. I assumed that they were airing the GOAT on ABC itself, like last time. But I got nothing either in the normal Library or the GOAT Library. Did YTTV miss an episode? What aired in syndication last night?
For all the times boardies have missed Jeopardy! because of sloppiness and inattention from their local affiliate, it's nice to hear of someone actually benefiting!
I'm in NY and have a FIOS DVR as well and it's listing all the episodes this week and next as New and recording them. I went into my system to cancel the GOAT shows.talkingaway wrote: ↑Wed May 06, 2020 3:54 pmThe name of the show is different in most listings, so you probably missed it.

This is the same problem that happened back in January - some people were surprised when J! didn't automatically record in prime time. The normal syndie J! recorded at the normal time (7 or 7:30 in many markets), but prime time J! had the different title, and you had to add that program into your DVR wishlist too.
On 5/4, it was titled Jeopardy! and showed Ken's first game, but there was some weird stuff where Wheel said it was Ken's first game, and that J! was new. The 5/15 episode shows Ken's last episode, and may not record unless you have repeats enabled.
I assume ABC had GOAT available on their On Demand platform at some point, but I would guess it's off there by now. Perhaps it will return after syndie J! reruns it.
