I have been trying to get on Jeopardy off and on since the Teen Tournament of '96. Ever since then, three of my friends have already been on, and a fourth friend just got an invite to an in-person audition a couple of weeks back when they had a contestant search in Cleveland.

I tried to get on a Teen tournament when I was captain of the quiz bowl team. Several years later, the quiz bowl captain of my high school makes it to the finals of the tournament, only to blow it on the second day final jeopardy.

Is it ~~whale season~~ online test time yet?

No one should forget to check their junk folders, either. I think one goon nearly lost out on a tryout last year because of that.

Although, for someone who is fully bi-lingual, his fake french accent was among the worst ever. Worse even than Steve Martin trying to play Peter Sellers playing Clouseau.
