ninjahedgehog posted:Yeah that's wild -- gotta be the most famous person to ever be on regular-person Jeopardy, no? They really undersold how insanely successful she is, which was kinda funny The most famous is still a pre-Vietnam John McCain in 1965. Kind of hard to top that one.

Do you think they save up the ridiculously easy FJ’s for runaway games?

"Babe" Didrikson Zaharias (golf, basketball, track and field) was the first woman athlete to appear on a box of wheaties. Roy Campanella (baseball) and Evan Strong (snowboarding) were respectively the first black and Paralympic athletes to do the same.

ninjahedgehog posted:Lmao at Mayim accepting "Tweedledee and Tweedledum" by clarifying just "Tweedledee." Can't remember the last time it was so clearly obvious that a judge's correction was coming up after the next commercial That question was horrendously worded; it sounded like they were asking for a pair of characters. It wasn't until I sat down and diagrammed the actual sentence that I figured out what they meant.

banned from Starbucks posted:What the gently caress is a unit of cultural transmission? Who would even think to answer meme to that? That's the original definition of a meme: a self-replicating method for encapsulating and transmitting cultural information from one generation to another or one group to another. The informational analogue of genetic code; a memetic-gene. It doesn't have a lot to do with the way the word is commonly used today.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:Are they backtracking because she's such an unpopular host? It'd be pretty funny if that were the case. The last I heard, there is essentially zero difference in ratings between her and Ken. The Jeopardy Reddit community has very little influence on actual Jeopardy viewership, which is basically 99% old people that have been watching the same show for decades and aren’t likely to stop for any reason.

RC and Moon Pie posted:And while there was a lot of bad play from the contestants, that semi-before and after movie category was something else. Re-looking at the clues on J! Archive, the first two clues were fine, but what in the hell were the last three?

I thought you were joking, so I pulled up a video at random, and the first fifteen seconds were "Flashlight... tape dispenser...scissors... pen... coupons... nail clipper... glasses fixer set...."" The latter was an eyeglasses repair kit, which they gave him credit for. We're done as a species.

Spokes posted:i do appreciate that the show is countering complaints of seeing the same players over and over by reminding you just how dull the "old" champions were. "oh, they didn't like seeing andrew he for the twentieth time? put alex jacob back on the telly. they'll be begging for two more weeks of buttery before they know it. uh, also put andrew, amy, and sam in that tournament, of course. i'm not stupid.," *Slams fists on podium* “Bring! Back! Lizard! Bring! Back! Lizard!”
