I want to share that we lost 2/3 of last night's episode because of random storms here in Florida that for some reason warranted a 40 minute interruption of normal programming (I get they're trying to help and it's dangerous and important, but I don't see how useful that actually is compared to just putting a banner up top). Like even if a tornado forms and you live nearby, it's not like we have storm shelters or even basements in this state, no one's going to do anything.....

Final was incredibly ironic, as a result.

It's because broadcast TV stations are required to broadcast emergency information if there's an emergency anywhere in their dedicated market.

The Wichita, KS market covers like 80% of the state, so when I lived there, we'd get interruptions because a tornado touched down somewhere in the state.

Yeah, it's essentially an FCC requirement to break in for tornado warnings. Annoying at times, but I get it. I wish there was an easy way to access episodes when stuff local stuff interrupts the show, though. Definitely made the final Jeopardy clue funny.

I was so disappointed when I first saw the Beast. My brother told me about the show and I'm expecting this hulking scary giant and he's just a scaled up Brit. You can't look like that and go by "the Beast".

The nickname comes from the French translation of his surname.

I was trying to think of the first thing Wooderson says in Dazed & Confused (I think it's him asking the kid if he has a joint), but remembered this is Jeopardy general knowledge trivia, not Videology movie trivia.

The wording of the quote was really confusing to me, I struggled to parse what it was trying to ask. I would've put down the right answer but only cuz it's the only McConnaughey quote I can think of.

Mr Hookshot had a lot of trouble with it too. I just went “gently caress it” and yelled out the only MMac line I knew which was obviously right.

I looked it up and supposedly the first thing they shot with McConaughey was the scene where he rolls up to Marissa Ribisi at the drive-in and asks her if she needs a ride while she's driving her own car, and apparently both that and the "alright alright alright" line that starts it were improv'd.

This but Food Network on my old rear projection. When changing TV Providers, the desire stopped. It then became BBT but that stopped too after a while.

Eventually garbage TV becomes too tedious to watch. Works in the short term though which is why it exists at all.

Love to see Bialik pretending to be the arbiter of Final Jeopardy.

When this is a case where they absolutely would not need a first name because there's been no one else that fits the bill with the same surname. Someone should have put Leroy Paige just so I could have seen her head explode in confusion.

Also, she seemed to pause for a minute to accept Penguins, because her card had "Pittsburgh Penguins" on it and Bialik is not well versed enough to know what's acceptable.

Did anyone catch the editing error in the Double Jeopardy round? Ryan buzzed in (at 14:44 here) and the other two have their final scores displayed. It must have been a reshoot, only they forgot to change the other scores before they did it.
