Jeopardy taping three tournaments in D.C.

[drdoug41]

And to think I was trapped in a conference room about two miles away while all the fun was happening. At least people hummed the think song whenever I was called on to speak.

I came down from NYC and watched some of the games on Sunday. Had a blast!

I just found out here the Teen Tournament is not going to air until September 12-23, making it the first shows of the new season. That's unusual. They've never done this before. And my brother goes to school with this girl mentioned here.

I had a fantastic time on Saturday and Sunday and I plan on heading in on Wednesday for the Semis of the Teen Tournament.

I looked like a giddy school girl when I saw that they were ushering us down to the orchestra level in the front section on Sunday. My family and I had previously been seated upstairs on Saturday.

I was first person to ask Alex a question on Sunday, asking which of his other game shows were his favorites. He replied with To Tell the Truth because "it was the first time in my career that I got to sit down while hosting."

This doesn't regard gameplay, but something very rare happened during Game 1 of the Teacher's Tournament Semis. I don't know when the last time something like it happened.

More often than you think.

I have a question regarding seating: are the orchestra seats reserved for VIPs, or is everything first come, first served?

If it is the latter - I have a ticket for the 12nn taping on Wednesday, what time should I arrive at the DAR to get an orchestra seat? Thanks!

I'm assuming the OP was referring to a very long stoppage in play because of the pronunciation of a foreign place name. Which really isn't a spoiler. So I'm de-spoilerizing.

I think it may have had to do with who read Final Jeopardy

Ah, yes. True. There was one of those in the Teachers Tournament as well.

That's exactly what I'm referring to.

Spoiler

I know they've had guests in studio to read clues, but I can't recall the last time they had someone come out to read Final Jeopardy in studio.

I was at the taping of the finals yesterday. Insane that they have to hold it in for 5 months, especially for the end of the school year and over the summer.

I have extra tickets to the Power Players 2nd audience - doors open @ 2:30

May I have one, please? (I upgraded you so you can PM. I'll PM you my details.

Abuse of power! Now we see the violence inherent in the system!

I think the problem is even deeper than that.

There is overwhelming evidence in that post that it was not made by alietr at all, but by dhkendall.

I don't have that album (yet). What is the context of that?

Somehow, I must have a copy for my collection.

I should have known better.

No, wait! That's the Beatles.

Also strange that their introductions will all be out of date. "Now a freshman at Harvard University…" ??

I guess my TOC's record is broken – we taped April 29-30, 2004, and started airing September 20.

The late Lowell George wrote the liner notes on the back of the album, which were quite extensive, may have all been lowercase, and perhaps rambled a bit, and at one point he opened a parenthesis but never closed it, so at the end he wrote the above. His affliction was not nearly so advanced as dhk's... or at least that's (the proclivity of dhk posts to have an odd number of parentheses) what I assume you were referring to in the above. If not, never mind. Props to BDM for the assist.

Thanks for the info. Very interesting. And, yes, your assumption as to my reference is correct.

And, yes, I thought Matty added quite a nice touch there.
