Jeopardy (1 Viewer)

Ken Jennings went to Belle & Sebastian concert last week.
Three weeks ago, I received a dollar bill autographed by Ken Jennings :sarcasm: Now I have to find one of those stupid frames to put it in.
Did you send him a blank bill to sign or did you get it randomly as change for a twenty?
Won a bet.My former office-mate & I used to watch Jeopardy daily. We'd bet $1 on each episode. I cleaned up. Got an email from him, he was doing some game show award show for GSN and ran into Ken Jennings, and had him sign a bill so he could pay up.

Now, listen to me! You back off, Trebek! You wouldn't have known that if you didn't have that card in front of you! This guy reads from a card!

 
I'm still laughing about the Final Question last Friday.

It was The Oscars (probably my best category).

They asked:

Besides Orson Welles, who is the only man in his 20s to be nominated for Best Actor and Best Screenplay the same year?

I thought for a long time and came up with an answer. My answer was wrong and all 3 got it right with Matt Damon.

I came up with Sylvester Stallone for Rocky. I looked it up and sure enough, he was nominated for Best Actor and Best screenplay for Rocky.

Then I checked his age. He was 30 at the time. Bite me Alex!

Has there ever been an episode where all 3 ended below 0?
Apparently only in the pre-Trebek, Art Fleming/NBC era. No final Jeopardy, just Fleming talking more with the contestants to fill up the time at the end.

YepI taped it and uploaded to youtube. Looks like it's already gone viral though.Trebek was definitely chuckling after the chick gave the correct response.
 
Trebek needs to hurry up and retire.
I don't watch anymore, but my mother still records it and watches it every day. She would destroy on the show, but we could never get her to go for it, in spite of being very close with and loved by the powers that be at multiple large market affiliates and having an in. But I watch with her when I'm up there and I find Trebek's condescending smugness the most entertaining thing on the show. Then seeing the contestant swallow it like a shard of glass. It's pretty funny.

From what I've been told, knowing people with contacts at the show can help your chances of getting on.

Actually it could disqualify you from getting on the show.The hardest part about getting on the show is passing the test.

Sweet. There's also a barely audible laugh from someone in the audience after the guy said it.

I would have protested that "donkey punch" should have been accepted.
 
Anyone else taking the test tonight?

This will be my 4th year in a row. Coulda sworn I got 40 right in 2009. Maybe I'm just stupid.

I just talked to her and it wasn't the tv stations. It was the President of King World, who she had on the board of directors of a fundraiser she was doing in DC. She didn't take him up on it because she didn't want the short cut or to be on national television. But yes, she'd have had to pass the test first, which she probably could have.
If she actually ever tried out I wouldn't tell anyone that.
 
If you want to delete, cool. If not, I'm not that worried about it.
:lmao: I'm just saying that if I was trying out for a game show I wouldn't tell them that I knew people that worked for the production company. That is one of the first things they ask you "Are you related to or do you know anyone that works for Moneybags Inc, Skyhigh Productions, Murph Johnson Enterprises, or Regent Television Inc?"

:yes:They ask this before they even give the test. I think I was asked over the phone when I made my appointment for the in-person test to verify I wasn't related to anyone affiliated with any of the show's distribution, and that I personally had never worked for any of the associated companies.

This was above the pay grade of the guys with the clip board. But it's pretty dooshy for me to be talking about it. I looked and he's not dead yet.

It's not dooshy it just doesn't make sense.

That the president of the company that distributes the show can call and say put this person on? It's a game show, not access to the nuclear codes.
