Jeopardy does the same, they film a month of episodes in four days.

Trebek made $10M a year for that but it's still not as cushy a job as Vanna White's.

IIRC Vanna White makes about $4M a year and Pat Sajak is $15M

His kid was hungry and wanted a can of beans and he refused to make them until she figured out to open the can herself six hours later.

It’s really lovely and I don’t think food should ever be used as an incentive like that but I do think the phrasing of “all but starved” conjures something worse than that

I think Ken did fine considering the circumstances. This was always going to be the worst show just as a result of Ken not having a lot of experience and all the pressure that comes with having the first post-Alex episode. I imagine he'll become more comfortable with the following games.

Yeah, even if you're not a fan of Jennings hosting he at least understands that and made it pretty clear from the start. Maybe it will improve once there's a permanent host but I'm starting to have some real concerns about the Jeopardy Interrgum

Ken is settling down, and I'm willing to give him time considering today's episode was still part of his very first day of actually taping shows, but he still kind of has the high-pitched, almost-nasal "well actually" timbre of the A/V nerd in high school, and that's something that won't go away. He doesn't have the casual authoritative gravitas that Trebek brought with him. That's not a crime in any way, no one will ever be Trebek, but I just don't feel like Ken is the right choice for a long-term, permanent host.

Edit: If anything, his obsequiousness regarding Alex's legacy is already starting to get a bit grating.

Yeah, I think that's probably going to be something you'll see from any of the potential hosts for at least the next few months. Trebek did this for 30 years, he might as well have been Jeopardy itself, it's going to be longer than a week before people start to move on from that

I actually am kind of settled with Ken and can just ride him out forever.

My only thing is that I miss Alex being a dick during the interviews. I dunno if Ken can ever settle into being able to make fun of people. If I was ever on Jeopardy, my experience wouldn't be complete without Alex basically rolling his eyes at my lovely anecdote.

Losers, in other words

I was excited cause it looked like someone realized they were in a category they liked down against a strong player and understood they needed to bet big instead of just falling into the habit of betting the difference or a little less, and then they got a gimme clue...

To balance it out was I the only one dumb enough to, having blanked on the Ewan McGregor movie, think "blacksmith" on that ferroequinewhatever clue?

It's kinda going unnoticed how good this guy is but he seems really good.

I didn't even bother trying to solve it that way. I just tried to think of a famous Ewan McGregor movie from that time and trainspotting sounded like it could be a hobby.

E: Honestly I solve a lot of them that way, by ignoring the "main" clue and figuring it out from one of the other hints.

I’ve noticed that Final categories have seemed to get oddly specific lately, but that just might be the writers trying to lay on some flare and not really hitting their mark. Got tonight’s Final pretty much instantly though.


I don’t even remember this specific Trebek quote and now it’s something I connect more with Richards because he repeats it at the end of every episode. Not that I don’t appreciate the sentiment, but drat.

Trebek started saying it towards the end of his run but I don't remember it showing up prior to 2020.

Actually, everyone who goes on Jeopardy does eventually lose. Whether it’s one game, or 20 games, they all lose in the end. You could go as far as saying that if you get on Jeopardy, the only guarantee for your future is that you will, at some point, lose on Jeopardy.

Everyone who has ever been on jeopardy, in the end becomes a loser.



Really makes you think.

Yeah the joke became real at some point. That's not to say that everyone flashing the OK symbol is making a white power sign--that would be a profoundly stupid reaction and the very one the trolling was meant to cause in the first place--but sometimes they definitely are.

Honestly they can have Birmingham if it means we get funding for stuff, as opposed to cynically underfunding the whole region. We already have a Tory Mayor about to get re-elected.

Are you sure you’re not thinking about all the feminist / Lesbian/ Women’s Health subs that were straight up deleted, or else had the mods forcibly replaced by Reddit insiders, who are all oddly enough transwomen?
