He was also jamming on the buzzer like he was expecting it to spit out a cup of coffee or something. That dumbass wave he made to close out the first round made me want to punch my television.

GhostStalker posted:FB peanut gallery was very vocally up in arms about the former champ holding his buzzer too close to his mic and producing audible clicking again, once again demonstrating that people who complain the most have the least idea of how things work (the contestant coordinators tell us in the Green Room before taping to jam the shot outta those buzzers so we have the best chance of ringing in first, but people keep thinking that pressing the button once will allow you to make it instead, as if you would have perfect buzzer timing anticipating the lights every single question). Holy loving God, dude, we get it, you were on Jeopardy, and you met Maggie, and Alex, and this that and the other. All this "peanut gallery" bullshit is starting to get really nauseating. People are allowed to not enjoy things.

BigBallChunkyTime posted:Sounds like it's getting bad. I can't imagine the show without him. Pancreatic cancer is almost always a death sentence, and it getting caught so late--I think it was Stage 4--really didn't bode well for him. I'm glad he's getting treatment, and it's not like he has a heavy work schedule (since Jeopardy! only tapes two days a week), but nearing 80, he will need to slow down sooner than later. Today's episode was actually the first one in which I was able to hear the slurring in his speech that he mentioned in his interview, and it was pretty blatant. It's a huge bummer, but ... all good things must come to an end.

Poque posted:Is it just me or has there been a different feel to the clues this season? There have been a lot of categories where it seems like they just doesn't fit in with the normal Jeopardy feel. Maybe some veteran cluemaker retired between seasons. You're not wrong, a lot of the categories and clues have seemed far too cutesy and it feels like writers going "ha ha, look how loving smart I am." Albino Squirrel posted:I know that chemotherapy and radiotherapy frequently gives you a boost of energy as your tumors go into partial remission. Speaking as someone undergoing treatment for a brain tumor that thankfully hasn't metastasized, yes and no. It's more that once you get through the hellish side-effects of each round of treatment, you feel like a new person again, just because you aren't spending all day either in bed or in the bathroom.

vincentpricesboner posted:So has the network said anything official yet that once Trebek can no longer host if they will reboot it with a new host or will Jeopardy as we know it stop? Jeopardy is wildly popular and makes a poo poo-ton of money through syndication, because it runs in essentially every market known to man in the United States, no matter which network the channel is affiliated with, doesn't matter if it's NBC or CBS or ABC or FOX. I guarantee you there have been succession plans developed since before the minute Trebek publicly announced that he had pancreatic cancer, and there's no doubt that he disclosed the recurrence and his (almost certainly grim) prognosis when it returned before he did his TV announcement. But, again, that being said, Jeopardy is not an expensive show to produce; it runs for like nine months out of the year, but they've been taping five episodes a day for two days a week since God knows when. I am absolutely certain that Sony and CBS have, either jointly or independently, very quietly auditioned prospective hosts (as well as announcers; Johnny Gilbert is 95 so he's already well-beyond borrowed time in terms of male life expectancy). Because as much as it sucks to imagine, Trebek has probably taped episodes into ... I don't know, maybe early January at the farthest but more likely December-ish, but he himself admitted that he's running out of time. Timby fucked around with this message at 04:35 on Oct 18, 2019 |

HookShot posted:Ken has too controversial a twitter feed for Jeopardy's old people fan base. Beyond that, Ken Jennings has a far too pervading "look how loving smarter I am than you" vibe. I'd bet money that he's auditioned, but the producers aren't going with a weirdo like Ken, and James would be the most annoying host in television history, if for no other reason than he'd be getting wildly pissed at contestants taking too long to pick a clue (and he'd probably be going insane at betting strategy and then he'd leap out from the podium to throttle someone the minute he realized they didn't have their buzzer game going). I believe Trebek mentioned Laura Coates, from CNN, specifically, as a potential replacement, and I wouldn't have an issue with that in any way. Especially because Trebek himself has said that he fully expects the new host to be a woman. Timby fucked around with this message at 04:56 on Oct 19, 2019 |

HookShot posted:By all accounts Alex isn't taping five shows a day anymore and is having a lot of trouble getting through the shorter days. He's fighting through, but it certainly sounds like he's having a rough go of it now. I've heard the same thing. He's going to have to step down soon and I would bet money there will be an announcement of a new host soon, possibly as soon as at the end of the Tournament of Champions, just because he'll have had at least a few more weeks of shows already taped and we can all cry for a while. KICK BAMA KICK posted:Was that a way too easy FJ for a tournament game or is the idea that the number given tricks you into disqualifying the obvious correct answer?

Maybe it was the judges loving up instead? Alex’s voice seemed a bit rough during the intros. Scores were low because all three contestants were whiffing on easy gimme questions.

Spokes posted:yeah, whenever he misreads a clue they'll have him read it again during a commercial and dub that in on the broadcast Right. And on yesterday's show, at the end, they didn't do the camera shot on his usual farewell, they just kept the close-up on Karen. Alex's voice was gravelly and raspy throughout almost all of today's show; at this point, I'll be shocked if he makes it beyond this season's tapings before stepping down. Edit: And I'm not bagging on Alex, at all. I had brain surgery last year to remove a tumor that I was initially told was inoperable. His fight has been my fight.

While there's nothing that can replace the theme song/FJ theme, I have grown to like the version they're using for the ads for this. This is driving me nuts for a totally pedantic reason. You don't write "$4.5 million dollars," because dollars is already indicated by the dollar sign. It's either "4.5 million dollars" or "$4.5 million."

Or am I dumb and the current folks wouldn't have seen it before they got on? James' run aired from April - June last year. The episodes that are airing now would have been taped in late November or early December. Every contestant would know who James is.
