Troy reminds me of Buzzy so much (maybe the music background?) and the "happy to be there" attitude with the game. Plus, he hasn't yet made one of his anecdotes "I played trivia against James Holzhauer and won". He, genuinely seems like a normal, cool guy.

He's a total Gabe (I don't know his name on Silicon). For real, tho. He met his wife anonymously online only to practice Jeopardy for her appearance. She was in a relationship. After it aired they later hooked up and married. The Sean fucked around with this message at 05:26 on Jan 27, 2023 |

Shout Outs to Ben on Wheel of Fortune, the most goon contestant in a while, who collects video games, goes to pro wrestling events, and insists that Jogging is NOT "fun and games" just a real breath of fresh air from the usual "well pat I have an (adjective) spouse and # (adjective) kids"

The "(adjective) spouse and (adjective) kids" thing is especially obnoxious on that show.

There was a Wheel contestant this week who said he wanted to be the next host of the show. You could tell Pat was pissed.

He makes like $300k for a day's work and doesn't seem to put much effort into it. I'd be pissed off at the thought of someone coming for my job too.

There really isn't a need for Vanna these days. They could just digitally show the letters - don't even need the touchscreens.

Pat Sajack gives off more "keep these vile, poor Midwesterners away from me" vibes than anyone else on TV and it's not particularly close. I have never seen someone care less about their job

Well, I don't know about that so much but I think you can tell when Pat does and doesn't like contestants. If Ken has ever disliked a contestant, it's never come across (to me) by the way he interacts with them; maybe he's better at hiding it than Pat.

Pat is pretty good when he wants to be. I like when he calls out players like the other week someone was like a loving genius guessing things with 4 letters exposed and later he guessed one letter and says, "You sure you dont know this one either?". But most of the time it's the same old poo poo. You can only do so much and he repeats the same things every. single. game. Jeopardy at least has near infinite variety. Pat: $700 Pat: No E's. Pat: Oh no, Bankrupt. The wheel isn't kind tonight!

I hope a producer points out to middle podium guy that his "clapping" by banging his fists together doesn't look great when the bottom hand is not visible from the camera's POV

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Goddamn Memphis Police for dropping that loving video right before Final Jeopardy. I don't necessarily blame NBC for breaking through with a report; it obviously is national news but of course they have to milk it with twenty minutes of droning talking heads. In the episode? No, triple stumper. Any of us? I did but only after the 2nd contestant answer was revealed so it was late.

In so many of these games the third place contestant is way behind two good players. You just hope they have the brains to bet nothing in case it's a triple stumper and they can steal second place if the second place person bets everything. It's nice to see someone actually do that.

At least jeopardy, we already know the name location and occupation by Inside Jeopardy Guitarist Johnny Gilbert so everything else is just "hey, it says here in college you used to have a Bizarre Job to make money?" And then you find out somebody worked as a translator for anime or something. There's nothing you could really do with "Televisedinsanity from Something Awful Forums, tell us about yourself" Uh.... I like... food? "That's great, pick up those signaling devices for the $2,000 toss up, WHAT ARE YOU DOING is the category"

Years ago, when you did the paper test with a bunch of other people at convention center, they told you to list five facts/bits for if you got on the show. (This couldn't have been long before they lifted the 5-day limit.) With a life as boring as mine, it was very hard to come up with five things about myself.

The woman at the window said "Are you John?" I didn't know how she knew my name, so I said "Yes..." and she let me know I had left it there the day before, at the same drive-thru and hadn't even realized it until I tried to get food the next day. the other four are somehow even worse
