His lesbian parents in all likelihood so of course he lives in Brooklyn

He did have massive cojones betting 11 grand in double though

They actually had an interview with that kid on WNYC (the NYC NPR affiliate) today on All Things Considered.

With a name like Cerulean, he pretty much had to do it.

I can name MAYBE ten presidents (Can you tell I'm Canadian?) and even I figured it would have been Truman or Johnson. Unfortunately I guessed Truman because he was earlier, but holy poo poo.

I also guessed Truman. I knew Johnson was a senator but I didn't know he was a representative. I knew Nixon was a representative but didn't know if he was a senator.

As much as I throw shade in Wheel of Fortune's direction, it's pretty easy to forget that both Wheel and Jeopardy have been produced for the past fifteen years by the same guy: Harry Friedman. I have a lot of respect for him for what he's been able to do over the years, so I thought it was very interesting when his emails detailing a conflict between CBS, the NFL, and Sony Pictures Entertainment were part of the Sony email leak.

tl;dr:

I'm just glad that it's the ABC affiliate that broadcasts Jeopardy here in NYC, and not CBS so I didn't have to deal with this. But still, that was some pretty interesting back and forth between Friedman, the Sony Pictures guys, and the CBS people. Friedman's idea for the DVR thing at the end of the exchange is genius, though. It's probably never gonna get implemented, sadly.

Because if you're watching it on your DVR, it doesn't particularly matter as long as it airs *sometime* to be recorded.

Also, has there ever been an easier poetry question for FJ?

That certainly explains why my DVR never records the Friday episode of Jeopardy.

I keep forgetting to go to the Canadian channel that has it on at 7:30 and record it then on Fridays until after I've noticed that I'm missing it, and my DVR sucks too much to go forward a whole week at a time, so I always end up forgetting.
