Hardwick did fine hosting that NBC game show The Wall which was "what if Plinko, but BIGGER?" I'm gonna guess that for most people who don't want to see him on TV, his on-camera work isn't the main reason.

I thought he was great on @Midnight. Which was basically a parody of Jeopardy for comedians to ad-lib. Actually when I think about it, he might be a pretty good option.

Unfortunately, there seems to be truth to whatever degree for the abuse claims, and for that I have to say gently caress Chris Hardwick.

The elevation was a good hint that no one was going to get that one. Are there any American cities with even a six digit population at 10k+ feet? Leadsville doesn't hit five digits.

Am I crazy or has the DD in the first round been on an $800 clue every episode for like a week. The last two finals seem insanely easy to compensate for a week of stumpers, too.

By all accounts Alex isn't taping five shows a day anymore and is having a lot of trouble getting through the shorter days. He's fighting through, but it certainly sounds like he's having a rough go of it now.

Was that a way too easy FJ for a tournament game or is the idea that the number given tricks you into disqualifying the obvious correct answer? Also never thought "name the guy who played Greg" would be one of the hardest Q's they'd ever come up with but drat.

Watching Jeopardy, I'm not even sure I would have realized he was going through cancer treatments if I hadn't already known. I keep turning it on every evening expecting an announcement that he's going to step down for health reasons, though.

He's going to have to step down soon and I would bet money there will be an announcement of a new host soon, possibly as soon as at the end of the Tournament of Champions, just because he'll have had at least a few more weeks of shows already taped and we can all cry for a while.

I think they were trying trick people into guessing the Battle of Thermopylae because of the Sparta thing.

I don't doubt that the producers would prefer a James victory but rigging a show is a federal crime, they draw the games at random from a pool, the show is independently audited, etc.

I'm sure everything is on the up and up (and it's not like James needs help) but they absolutely have picked specific FJ for their tournaments before. See: last year's All Star final FJ where it was a play on their 35th anniversary.
