We need more of the hard-hitting questions Pat Sajak asks in the contestant interviews. Like if they're married, and how many kids they have.

My #1 story was about how i left my credit card in a drive-thru and didn't realize it until i went through that same drive-thru the next day. It went downhill from there. I had a pretty great story for my recent WOF audition: I only started watching Wheel after I got crushed on J! and saw the big mural of Pat and Vanna at the studio next door, decided that WOF was more fun and decided to go out for that instead.

I could easily ignore it for the most part, but specifically saying "what's" instead of "who is" grates on my nerves like I wouldn't have thought possible. It shouldn't be a big deal but it makes me so goddamn irritated. Mr. Baps fucked around with this message at 09:57 on Jul 28, 2021 |

HookShot posted:You never truly understand how uninteresting you are until Jeopardy asks you to tell five interesting stories about your life for the audition. I think it was Ken Jennings's book where I first read you have to come up with five stories and I can't even think up one. Doesn't help that I haven't watched that segment since DVR was invented.

I like watching the story segments because they are either very interesting or completely cringe. I love to hate when the story goes wayyyy too long and is really boring. To me, it's a feature, not a bug. Also, goon person who's wife was on recently: She loving outed pirating jeopardy videos. wtf? (for real, though, she seemed really cool) edit: also, furry guy a while back was kind of awesome. Alex even asked, "what the gently caress is that hand thing you do?" I'm not into furry stuff but they're pretty leftist as a demographic as far as I can tell from other news media so I'll take an ally where I can.

The kind of person who has the will and ability to pirate Jeopardy episodes is a superfan and probably buys merch and talks about the show all the time. The syndicated nature of the program doesn't jive with the go go hustler influencer attitude of that modern Jeopardy! enthusiast. They need to be able to watch today's episode as soon as possible, without interruption. Or, sometimes, they need to be able to ignore Jeopardy for a few days and catch up on the weekend. They don't have the time or energy to figure out at what time and on what channel the show is airing while staying in a hotel in a strange city. They need to be secure in the knowledge that, even if their local affiliate decides to pre-empt the show for sports or local news, they will never miss a single clue, gaffed judging decision, or idiotic wager.

Do any streaming services even have current Jeopardy episodes? The only way I know to keep up legally is watching it live or DVRing it.

No, and jeopardy likely will stay that was because I assume they make a killing in syndication rights. But they’ll gladly send a contestant a copy of their episode for the low low price of $200. We said lol we’ll pass and just got a pirated copy.

Someone has done this, because of course they did: https://mattcarberry.com/Jeopardy/j-airing.html There used to be a station that aired it at 9:30am CDT as late as a year or two ago. 7pm EDT supremacy.

InsensitiveSeaBass posted:Someone has done this, because of course they did:  . I remember when my episode aired, I had a cousin working in Chicago, and they air it around 3pm there, so he couldn’t catch it. When I was getting a ride up to Boston for Enforcing PAX East in 2015, I remember thinking we’d miss Jeopardy because of traffic getting us to our hotel after 7, and was surprised to learn that they flip the airing order of Jeopardy and Wheel there, so I was still able to catch the episode that Thursday.

It's weird that it airs so early here in Chicago, but ultimately it's nice that we can watch the day's DVRed episode at 6pm with dinner pretty much daily.

It was nice to watch J! at 6 here in New York on WLIG/WLNY until a CBS exec convinced them to buy the station so he could gain access to a country club in the Hamptons. He got fired earlier this year for being a sex pest too.

The champ on the Friday of my week's story was already too long and they cut out about 3/4 of it, the entire time Alex was trying to get him to just. stop. talking. and trying to get back to the podium and he just wasn't taking the hint lol.

Was at 7:30 on Fox in Wichita, but I haven't lived there in 9 years, so my memory is fuzzy.

Like one woman's story was how she snuck into the DMZ at the North Korean border and the one that followed it was about a guy who got lost in an airport.
