Yeah, I got that final and I know virtually nothing about actors and have never seen a movie made before 1990.

On tonight's FJ: wouldn't Santo Domingo be considered to be part of the Americas and also not attached to the mainland? It's more populous than Havana.

Apparently it's only Santo Domingo's metro area that's more populous.

There is literally no other reason to grow that mustache other than to twirl it when your evil Jeopardy plan comes together at the last minute. My local affiliate aired some "SOME PEOPLE CALL HIM THE VILLAIN OF JEOPARDY" commercial when Arthur Chu was on a roll; I hope mustache guy gets the same treatment because he's giving them some great footage to work with.

Here's a 538 piece on why Ken's record is probably safe: http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/ken-jenningss-jeopardy-streak-is-safe-for-the-rest-of-time/ Wider audition pool because of the online test, more buzzer practice for contestants, and just statistical unlikelihood.

The new policy stated that the game couldn’t start until every contestant had successfully outbuzzed his competitors in real game-play conditions. According to Jeopardy executive producer Harry Friedman, the change was unrelated to Jennings’s streak. Wouldn't Jennings (or every returning champ, for that matter) just "let" the other contestants beat him in this practice round and then bust out his buzzer skills in the game? That seems like a dumb policy.

Also, it's not like it's a surprise after the first game how quick a guy is... You sit there all day watching the returning champion getting better and better. It was the most stressful part of the day for me.

Yeah, the returning champion is still chilling in the Champion's closet of the Green Room when all of us challengers are taking our practice rounds, trying out the buzzer. Had no idea about Final, but glad to see Mr. Ridiculous Facial Hair outta here.
