I'm in New Hampshire, I had Jeopardy!

Although I get it from a Vermont station, so I'm not sure that helps you.

I can't believe some media markets override Jeopardy for something less than The Superbowl and/or a 9/11 level nation altering event. I don't always make it home in time or remember to watch... but Jeopardy should just kind of... always be there. At seven o'clock. Because that's the time for Jeopardy.

I'm.... so sorry occasionally Jeopardy deprived goons. Someone give Alex Trebek an honorary seat in Congress to give voice to such horrors, please.

Just lol if you don't have timeshifting. I can get Jeopardy at 4:30, 5:30, 8:00 and 8:30 (and maybe more).

Last Friday I missed it because the local station was showcasing some bluegrass band playing at a middle school. Seriously.

I actually have two stations that I can get it on (one at 7:00, one at 7:30), but I DVR it and watch it later. So I'm not always aware of these interruptions. And while they broadcast it later (usually something bizarre like 2:13am), it's not listed on the guide that way, so the DVR doesn't know to pick it up.

I thought that was insanely obscure, but there was a Tom Hanks movie about it in 2015. I will downgrade it to "still pretty obscure"

Guys, find a woman who looks at you the way GhostStalker looks at every bald, obese, single 58 year old accountant from Tulsa who managed to win $4,000 by not wagering on a Final Jeopardy triple stumper.

I knew who they were looking for, but I couldn't remember his name until like halfway in.

It took me way too long to parse that clue, so by the time I did, time was pretty much already up. Had no idea on the question either, looks like I was in good company there.

You'll be passed out halfway through Double Jeopardy.

He's not being smug that is apparently and unfortunately just how his face is

Yeah everytime he opens his mouth he unfortunately looks like a jackass. His parents should have removed all of his teeth for the public good.

Man, you weren't kidding. But then again, I guess he just has one of those faces, going off of the interview segment. Still looks like a smarmy git with how he stands though.

Got Final at the last moment, worked out the Coppola connection right as time was to expire. Still, that hilariously wrong answer from the champ... :drat:

Yeah, with his face and how he was standing, that was one creepy rear end interview segment, especially with how Trebek cut it off like that.

Yeah, I feel like if you're going to actually be on the show, you should take a crash course in Brit Lit, landmark Supreme Court cases, pop culture (movies and television), the Revolutionary, Civil and Vietnam Wars, and, like, a Science for Dummies book, because nine times out of ten it feels like Final Jeopardy comes from one of those areas.
