Jackie Fox was on Jeopardy and just casually dropped "I was in The Runaways" as her contestant story on, like, her 3rd or 4th game (though she had a traumatic time in the group so I understand her wanting to downplay it).

edit: Alex's discussion of it was pretty funny. "You were in an all-girl rock band?"

I like how they just casually have the author of The 100 as a regular contestant.

I haven't watched any this week yet (because Mayim), but they had someone on last week who wrote a high fantasy novel, didn't they? Isn't she the person who beat Matea? Or are they the same person? (I have no idea what The 100 is, beyond that it was adapted into a TV show. But I didn't think it was high fantasy, so I assume it's two different people.)

Yeah that's wild -- gotta be the most famous person to ever be on regular-person Jeopardy, no? They really undersold how insanely successful she is, which was kinda funny

They had a dude who made the crosswords for a major newspaper and everyone was like “oh poo poo he’s gonna on a big run.”


Until our local SA champion kicked his teeth out with some killer knowledge on Africa in final jeopardy.

Jackie was so so fun and I'm still sad she had some illness or vertigo show up in her last game that kept her from potentially making a long run.

The most famous is still a pre-Vietnam John McCain in 1965. Kind of hard to top that one.

I've been thinking about this a lot and "Single Jeopardy" is correct nomenclature for the Jeopardy round unless you call it "the Jeopardy round" because otherwise Jeopardy" is ambiguous and may mean single jeopardy/the jeopardy round or the show as a whole.

The only time Art Flemming mentioned the context of rounds was when he was talking about the time's up bell. Otherwise he'd just start each segment saying "let's play (double) jeopardy."

Yeah, it’s this. I did it during the day a few weeks ago when they let anyone try and got my zoom invite for an audition I wasn’telignle for about a week later.

I honestly don't care, it can get 6 seasons and movie for all I care, if it keeps her off of Jeopardy full time.

Just bring back Rock And Roll Jeopardy instead. I don't need to watch celebrities prove they don't know things.

Yea Probst actually has charisma so he wouldn't be on the list when the scam was just giving Mike the job.

Also Survivor is still going super strong.

It's interesting how Claire McNear's reporting both exposed and created a gong show regarding the host search. Exposing the fact that Richards wanted to rig the search in gis favor and simultaneously showing the ineptitude of CBS and Sony to correct flaws in hiring a host with another day job.

If Ken gets the full time regular gig and Mayim gets the prime time events, that might work as a compromise. I highly doubt that'll be the plan once her show ends though.
