SneezeOfTheDecade posted:This is pretty banal, but: I grew up (in the mid- to late 80s) watching Jeopardy! in the evenings. One day, when I was home sick from school, I found a "daytime" version of Jeopardy!, with a different set and different host. I assumed they just had a daytime version of the show and a prime-time version, and never thought to question that assumption. Grandma thought I was the smartest thing when I would always solve the wheel of fortune stuff after like 2-3 letters. Nope, the eps she was watching were played earlier in the week at a different time that I caught after school.

Speaking of Wheel of Fortune (and Jeopardy,) I didn't realize until my mid twenties they're syndicated programs and aren't always at 7:00 and 7:30 on NBC for everyone (Jeopardy at 7, Wheel at 7:30.) By a coincidence, when I went to college, the syndication package for both was ALSO the local NBC affiliate, and they also chose to air Jeopardy at 7 and Wheel at 7:30. After college I moved to an area close-ish to where I grew up, so got the same local affiliates there. It wasn't until I took a business trip for that job and went to Florida that I noticed it was not the same.

For the first month of the pandemic one of my nightly comfort routines was watching Jeopardy and goddamn New Yorkers kept spoiling it on Twitter because of their 7 pm airing.

Nicolas Cage’s real name is Nicolas Kim Coppola. He’s the nephew of Francis Ford Coppola, along with Jason Schwartzman.

I’m still in awe of how America still has appointment-to-view game shows on at prime time, and featuring actual members of the public. In the UK in the same time slot we’re pretty much limited to talent shows or our version of Dancing with the Stars.

A few years ago a friend of mine started dating a girl he met at a bar. She mentioned to him that she had just taped an episode of wheel of fortune a couple of weeks prior. A couple of months later she mentioned to him that her episode was going to air in a week. He promptly told his friends and coworkers "hey my girlfriend is going to be on Wheel of fortune on Friday!" as most people would. Pat:"Tell me about yourself" Girlfriend:"Well I've got my loving husband in the audience tonight.." He had no idea he was "the other guy" until this point.
