Yeah, even Phillip didn't manage to do that before he flamed out a couple months back, and everyone was really impressed with him.

Well, Andrew "Boom Boom" Pau is gone. All it took to beat him was someone finding and answering every single DD while also betting big. So essentially, someone had to play the perfect game to best him and they did. It's just a shame that the person's name has to be "Buzzy".

It's proof that there's so much luck involved in this game. If my name card had gotten randomly picked a day later I am certain I'd be $20k richer at least. You can study and prep and blah blah, but then you can just plum run into stuff you don't know and another dude does and he's an autistic miracle buzzer man.

It was people who knew him from Quiz Bowl, where he apparently was even better than Matt Jackson. Lots of former Quiz Bowlers have been champs. And yet...

As a person who also on a quiz show (that thankfully only aired on a cable station) managed to forget the category and gave two completely non-sensical answers, I can't fault Jerry too much for that one.

But at least I was like 17, so that's my excuse.

Yeah, I got this one pretty drat quick. Buzzy still manages to pull off the win despite missing it though.

Anyway, was it just me, or did Ellen seem really twitchy on the podium and looked like she almost couldn't control herself when she missed Final? Maybe I was seeing too much because I watched this episode while super tired because of poor sleep...

Nah, she definitely seemed super-nervous (she consciously stopped interjecting "ums" halfway through her interview), and she did look a little embarrassed at the end.

This was a surprise -- despite the original NBC run of Jeopardy lasting over 2000 episodes, there's only about a handful or so of episodes still in existence. When it was cancelled on NBC, Merv Griffin decided to try a syndicated version that managed to work in a much bigger budget. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first time one of those syndicated episodes has been found and put online.
