"Longtime" really narrows it down, though. (Or am I missing something?)Robert K S wrote:Yay! Although the last question sorta has two correct answers.
(I'll admit the second question is the toughest, to be honest, it was *somewhat* of a guess for me (well, I reasonably narrowed it down to two (which is why I don't like multiple choice, I'm glad "real" Jeopardy! (as opposed to Facebook Jeopardy! or easier levels of Wii Jeopardy!) isn't)) Still 5/5 though)

Re: Washington Post Article on Jeopardy and Trebek
The last question said this person "is" the longtime announcer, implying he currently has the job.
His ethnic background was a lucky guess.
For the prize from the first game, i knew it wasn't money and went with the cheapest sounding prize and got it right. I guess whoever wrote the quiz knows about the archive (or looked the episode up on you tube).
The original name of the show and maybe the MDCI winner was the only thing I'd really call Jeopardy! trivia.
The article has a reader comment from Christine Valada.

The writer of the article obviously inhabited the old J! Board. He makes the distinction between a lectern and a podium.

That category was upside down. Missed the first two, then ran the last three.
In and out of the pool four times
