Somebody tweeted that he'll have home-field advantage in the frigid sony studio, which I think is incredibly funny

Can't wait for him to get truly indignant when the football category is Packers Quarterbacks and the contestants go 0/5.

I had to try to succinctly explain the bean dad to my mom when we were watching Jeopardy! talking about new hosts. The internet isn't supposed to be in irl life. Worlds are colliding.

I guess the Aaron Rodgers thing is happening which could be great or a trainwreck. https://twitter.com/Jeopardy/status/1349472115414630400

It's also turning into exactly the kind of "TUNE IN TO SEE WHO'S NEXT WEEK'S HOST" kind of shitshow that I didn't want to see Jeopardy become. I understand having some guest hosts. A few people, all strongly being considered for the final role, each hosting for a couple of weeks (two/three days of filming) would have been good. This kind of rotating door of TUNE IN TO SEE WHO'S GOING TO BE HOSTING NEXT WEEK is very much not my cup of tea.

To be fair, I get why a more-polished plan wasn't available. But another thing I feel like I should point out here is the new EP also oversaw the transition from Bob Barker to Drew Carrey. I get the impression that Richards was expecting to work a little while longer with Trebek before actually having to tap someone but I'd have to do a little digging. Edit: another possible strategy would be to intentionally book lovely people in order to make other candidates look better by comparison.

At least when Katie Couric was announced, I wasn't thrilled, but it at least made some sense. These other people, hopefully I'm surprised, but I can't see stunt hosts being a good plan in the long run.

I was hoping for people that were seriously being considered of becoming the permanent host but I don't see any of them as anything but ringers to goose the ratings. Rodgers is a interesting choice though.

It's a very stupid gimmick and they knew Alex's days were numbered so they could've lined up the permanent replacement.

Yeah, even if you're not a fan of Jennings hosting he at least understands that and made it pretty clear from the start. Maybe it will improve once there's a permanent host but I'm starting to have some real concerns about the Jeopardy Interrgum

I was going to pull a C-list celebrity out there, but then I realized, because we live in the worst timeline, at some point we may very well get one that's just there to advertise an upcoming movie.

Totally agree. This stinks and Ken is actually already good at this and getting better. Let him do it forever. Or try out LeVar and decide between them but that's it. Also this is off to a great start...

I was going to say "i don't think so, that language was always in place to just... deny anyone who had appeared since 1984." and yet, I just went to jeopardy.com and tried to sign up for the online test. They asked me if i've ever been on the show before and i selected "yes" and then it let me go to the test. Not sure if they'll just cross out my application but might be worth a try! I'm probably persona non grata with them since I contested a question after my show aired but... i might as well take the test again this afternoon lol

Yeah, and our contracts that we signed specifically said we couldn't re-apply until after Alex was no longer host. That'll be interesting. I'm not going to bother right now since there's no way they're doing auditions in Canada anytime soon anyway, but that's good to know.

Ken, Brad, and James should just go on the show again and gently caress around SNL Celebrity Jeopardy style for whoever the guest host is.

I gave it a shot, probably 46/50 or soquote:Your test submission will be given to the Jeopardy! contestant team for evaluation. If you pass the test, you’ll be placed into a random selection process for invitation to a contestant audition. Auditions are ongoing, and depending on our travel and testing schedule, you could receive an invitation anytime within the next 12 months. I expect literally nothing to come from this, like i said, but it's interesting that they explicitly said 35/50, i don't know if they've ever made that public before.

Spokes posted:I'm probably persona non grata with them since I contested a question after my show aired but... i might as well take the test again this afternoon lol I'm curious about the clue to compare because I remember there being a final years back that wasn't difficult to get (and one contestant even did) but I think they invited them all back or two of them back or something because they said it was poorly worded and I thought it was lame they did so. I want to say it was about the moon landing but I really can't remember it too specifically other than I thought it was a gimme.
