Yup, literally the least money won in the first five wins by a contestant in the history of the game.

I know there are multiple threads covering the ongoing submersible disaster, but this touches Jeopardy territory: https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/jeopardy-titanic-submersible-trip-sam-buttrey-022332300.html Glad he didn't go.

Yeah, they stopped doing this (I started following them again since I'm like six months behind and gently caress it, I'm not going to remember a random social media post from today in December) as badly as they used to, when it was like "HERE'S THE ANSWER TO TODAY'S FINAL IN A GIANT IMAGE" posted seven hours before the episode aired in my market, but they still post the video for final every night hours before the game. Like, come on, it's not that hard to just do it the next day.

Even if somebody was doing it for SEO, Jeopardy is not that big in the grand scheme of things. Isn't 3/4th of North America airing it at the local 7pm hour anyway? Ken isn't busting out a comedy routine that rivals Kinison, The champ isn't delivering a piledriver on the challengers, and Johnny won't be three sheets to the wind on a clue him reading 90s lyrics. It's TV comfort food, not Eleven Madison Park!

I acknowledge that it's very easy to criticize from the couch when you're not under the bright lights on stage yourself, but tonight's betting for the last Daily Double and Final Jeopardy--woof.

They could have just made Mayim the new Wheel host and solved two problems at once.

It's likely the majority of North Americans don't care. The problem comes once the WGA strike ends & SAG-AFTRA if they strike too. I figured they would've made Pat's kid the host but I guess either she'll needlessly flip the board switches after Vanna or chuck her after dad. Ryan can do this in his sleep.

Seacrest seems like an odd choice to me. I've got nothing against him but he seems a bit too MTV (or is it VH1?) for the Boomer Wheel demographic.

I dunno, seems like most of his career has been doing milquetoast boomer content like NYE specials, Live with Kelly, and Casey Kasem's old radio show, etc.

Yeah, his stint on American Idol alone would ingratiate him with the type of audience enough to set him up for something like Wheel. And that was before he became the next Dick Clark. He's set for life.

Ryan isn't the only new WoF host announced today either. Graham Norton is picked as the UK host https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/graham-norton-host-uk-wheel-of-fortune-1235524512/

Why is the industry still trying to shove Ryan Seacrest everywhere they can? Despite having like 100 jobs he's still like the least interesting person imaginable.

The host shouldn't be that interesting or much of a focus. The worst is when they aren't interesting but think they are and want the focus, like Steve Harvey.

They should fix this problem by letting former contestants back on. (I haven't actually seen any of these episodes mentioned)
