Once this strike (or maybe strikes) finish, how are they going to share duties hosting? Do they alternate or will one (likely Ken) get served a pink slip?

My guess for Boston Thrash band with a Tony is Anthony Buda of Cryptic Warning/Revocation, but he's a bass player. I wonder if that's who it was lol.

Granted it was separated by the commerical/chatting but did anyone find it amusing that back to back clues involved Huey Lewis & The News and American Psycho?

For what it's worth. SAG-AFTRA has a list of programs that those in the union can work on and game shows are on the list. Not sure how this works with WGA striking alongside them but there you go.

Yeah, even if performing as host wouldn't break any rules, generating clues would, so there's still no show Although, if there's anyone on the planet who could improvise a round of jeopardy on the spot, it's Jennings

Island Nation posted:For what it's worth. SAG-AFTRA has a list of programs that those in the union can work on and game shows are on the list. It's a bit different, because SAG-AFTRA has an active, separate contract with production companies that covers things like game shows. Under that contract, it can't ask or prohibit members to strike against companies for productions covered for that contract. In fact, SAG members who are already signed for stuff under produced the network code probably can't back out because of the strike, because that agreement probably contains a "no strike" clause. (I can't easily find a PDF of that agreement, but it's very probably in there.) WGA does not have a separate contract for game shows. The WGA ask is "our members *must* not do any writing work for any struck companies, and we also *ask* that they not do any work for struck companies". They don't have the separate contract with the no-strike clause, so they can ask that. So while technically WGA can't retaliate against Mayim for doing hosting work, because that's not *WGA* work, they can ask her "hey, you shouldn't do that, out of solidarity", and she can comply if she wants.

It can't, but if you're okay at improv and know your friends , it's more than possible to bullshit some categories and work backwards for answers. Gotta be more flexible on appropriate responses but some good buzzed fun.

Chris, Hannah and Troy (that I know of) have also said they won't show up in solidarity if they choose to go ahead with this, so it's going to be the most laughable ToC of all time if the top four seeds all refuse to show up and they still go ahead with it.

A recycled questions episode of only questions nobody got right the first time could be a fun one off gimmick episode maybe, just obviously not acceptable as a scab measure.

TOC officially on holdquote:A “Jeopardy!” spokesperson shared a statement Tuesday evening, affirming that the series had no plans to produce a Tournament of Champions until the strike is resolved. The spokesperson also stated that no contestants had been contacted regarding availability for a postseason tournament. However, the show plans to continue producing episodes in the fall, using material written by WGA writers before the strike began.

Second and third place prizes are going up to 3k and 2k They're also running S40 as a "second chance" tournament for people in S37 and S38, although I personally know of some people who have been contacted who won multiple games so who the gently caress knows, but this is using a mix of old clues that never got used, and recycled clues, because OF COURSE IT IS.

What criteria should I use to determine whether or not Ken is a scab? I want to hear him telling the bosses to eat poo poo, but he probably won’t do that.

I AM GRANDO posted:What criteria should I use to determine whether or not Ken is a scab? I want to hear him telling the bosses to eat poo poo, but he probably won’t do that. If he personally performs writing services for the show, he’s a scab. If he hosts the show with recycled/surplus clues written by union writers, he’s not a scab but it’s a very bad look. If he hosts the show with clues written by scab writers, he’s no better than a scab.

Ken is not a member of SAG (AFAIK) but SAG members are allowed to participate in Game Show productions because those are covered under a different contract then the one being struck right now. https://www.sagaftra.org/files/sa_documents/Strike_NetCode.pdf

I've been seeing some rumors that Miyam may not return to Jeopardy in season 40. So far they just seem to be rumors, but supposedly Ken has already replaced her as Celebrity Jeopardy host.

So far they just seem to be rumors, but supposedly Ken has already replaced her as Celebrity Jeopardy host. That latter part is confirmed, because she's on strike and he isn't. They're using material for Celebrity J! that was written before the writer's strike. I wouldn't be surprised if this strike ends up getting Mayim pushed out permanently over Ken. He did the majority of the hosting during the season, including the last couple of weeks. People are just used to having him and almost exclusively him on their TVs now.
