That FJ was embarassing.

I got the Ann Perkins question because I LITERALLY. just finished watching Parks And Recreation for the first time. I'm sad it ended.

Oh good, Mayim is back.
I missed her.
Bazinga!

Edit: Get it? Like the catchphrase of the TV show that she was on! The entire reason she is qualified to be host of Jeopardy! and literally laugh at people who make incorrect guesses! Because she was in that show! That show that everyone loves! Hahaha ok I’m bored

Oh of course not, but having a doctorate does not necessarily make one a good host of a TV game show.

The Jeopardy Facebook page is also not happy and these are 100% the boomers Sony listens to.

I can totally understand if Ken doesn't want to be permanent host, he has a lot on his plate, I get it.
Clearly the general audience doesn't want Mayim Bialik.
There must be someone better, but gently caress me if I know who it is.

What's wrong with Ryan's head?

Dude's got hair like Jean-Ralphio.

On the topic of that Wheel Of Fortune thing, I personally have only ever heard it as "cap", so when they kept getting it wrong I automatically assumed someone had already said that and began thinking of anything else. When they finally said "cap" I was flabbergasted and had to rewind to make sure I had misheard. It turns out I'm crazy, and maybe they were in the same mindset?

As someone who has been watching NASCAR for over twenty years and worked in the sport for a few, I had no idea what they were trying to go for with the $1,000 clue in that category.

But I did get a good laugh out of the fifth clue in the Boroughs of New York category being a triple-stumper. They had already named four of the boroughs, there was only one left!

That gave me a good chuckle too.

I knew that Jericho was later in the Bible (Joshua, I think?) and Babel was a little bit earlier, so I correctly guessed Sodom.
When you get committed to a psych ward and the only thing to read is the Bible, you learn scripture quite quickly, whether you want to or not.

Bialik has been so inconsistent in if contestants can correct themselves and how much time they get to try to do so. I swear she made an audible sigh on a non-specific answer that the contestant then got more specific on.

She sighs, laughs, or embellishes. Sometimes she waits for the judges. Sometimes she doesn't.

It didn't really make sense to me given where Cambridge is, but I immediately went to bananas since I remembered reading that essentially every banana tree is a clone and that's why they're all super susceptible to getting wiped out by disease.

Same, but after deciding I was wrong, I still couldn't think of anything else. It didn't help that my roommate was yelling out every plant he could think of. Strangely not apple tree, though.
