I shot my episode today; it airs October 24. Boy was the hardest part the buzzer. I was soooo bad on it. It was so fun though. An absolutely amazing experience.

i've got an audition in early september in ny. is there a primer in this thread for the audition somewhere, or is it more just question-asking and going back and forth? a friend of mine was already on the show and i talked to him about the process, so i feel i know what to expect, but just curious if there was another something to read. also, i'm finding the hardest part of this whole thing is coming up with these loving bio facts. also, anyone else in learned league?

You’ll do a 50-question test, practice “playing” against the others and then you can ask questions about the show. It’s a great experience, so have fun!

I've meant to do Learned League for the longest time whenever Jeopardy FB friends start posting about it during League seasons, but I let my original invite expire and I keep forgetting to ask about new ones because I know I'll probably let them expire too. The bio facts took me a while to come up with too, don't sweat it. Corina and Glenn and Maggie if she's there will make sure the audition goes well and you'll have fun there. Even if you don't get on the show, just meeting them will be a blast. September in NY, huh? At the Hilton again? Maybe I'll drop by to say hi to whichever Contestant Coordinators are running it and pick up some pens too.

What's up guys it's Season 35 premiere day and there's another all star tournament this year! https://www.jeopardy.com/jbuzz/news-events/all-star-games-our-first-ever-team-tournament quote:What is the Jeopardy! All-Star Games? Ken back! Brad back! Leonard back! In case you forgot Leonard, he's this guy.

Tag team match is a weird format, but it sounds like it will be really fun. I guess you would put your weakest player in the Jeopardy round or Final Jeopardy? I don't know how Roger Craig isn't a captain, and I'm kinda surprised Arthur Chu missed the cut.

I'm not sure how the captains are supposed to strategize unless they're giving out more info about the rounds in advance now.

I suspect Chu has gotten enough bad press that he wasn't high on the list of invitees.

Oh that sounds super fun! They hinted that there was something different this year, but yeah, that sounds awesome.

You know who else isn't on the list that I would've expected is Eddie Timanus. I wonder what's up with that?

Eddie Timanus was a great bit of Jeopardy history, but I think he's a bit too far in the past to maybe get a call for this kinda thing. Shame, Frank Spangenberg might've been great to see as well. Jason Sterlacci was dropping hints about the tournament (or maybe just deleting posts and telling people that there was something previously here) on FB in our Contestant group prior to the event having beeen officially announced this weekend. So I knew something like this was coming, but I had no idea what. Good to see that Jeopardy can still surprise me like this.

Anne Whateley posted:Same as Brad Rutter, so idk -- Well, Brad won the Battle of the Decades and overtook Ken Jennings in winnings a while ago after tournaments are factored in, so he's more of a name well known to Jeopardy watchers. But yeah, seeing Timanus again would've been amazing. Also, I think they call before they email lol. PT6A posted:Trebek looks good with a beard. That he does. Trebek is like the platonic ideal of a silver fox.

I love how Alex Trebek said in the intro today that the voting determines whether or not he keeps the beard, because "keep it" is currently winning 65/35 and, well, um... I personally like the beard way more than the mustache.

Trebek held the mustache in for so long that when he released it it exploded all over his face.

Honestly without the "exception" the FJ would've probably been too hard, but with it, it was definitely too easy.

Earlier this week, possibly Monday, Trebek really messed with me by starting a non-daily-double answer with "Answer!" it genuinely threw me off Poque fucked around with this message at 17:08 on Oct 17, 2022 |

I really liked the one guy's answer of "Engagement" in the other category, but I didn't really understand what was going on in that category at all so I probably missed the reason why it couldn't be accepted

I agree that “engagement” is a cleverer answer than what the writers came up with.
