Frot Lesnar posted:Jeopardy is my all time favorite game show. If someone can find the youtube of "canadian teen awkwardly tells story" about going to the bear park but not seeing a bear I will love you forever. The Soup has a semi-recurring bit called "Cool story, Jeopardy contestant!" and they had a lot of fun with this one.

an adult beverage posted:Does anybody know what the threshold is to call you for an audition? There isn't one. Obviously the more the better but it's not like they say "ok everyone who got at least X right gets a callback". Also I'm sure it's all relative but seeing those other two tests makes me less proud of kicking rear end at the Tuesday one. I can just the producers saying "ok, that's the easy one, let's go through the pile of people who got them all right and see who we want."

uublog posted:Also what I love about the Teen Tournament is that they could still kick my rear end in basically anything on the board. I love to be made to feel like a dumbfuck by a handful of teenagers who are scientifically programmed to do dumb things inherently. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but I remember hating the Teen Tournament because the questions are easy as hell. Same with Celebrity Jeopardy (wolfblitzer.jpg notwithstanding). It does make the best "Cool story, Jeopardy contestant!" bits though. The Soup loved that girl who saw a bear.

Yeah I mean if he doesn't want to, oh well, but I would hope they'd ask. It'd also probably look bad if he was like "Yeah! I'd love to! Can't wait!", as snarky as he is being coy about the job is a good move.

As much as Brian Williams would own (see: RAWR with Brian Williams on The Soup) I don't see any way they could get him without him quitting NBC News so that probably won't work. I wouldn't mind Dan Patrick. He could at least pass for smart. Matt Lauer, regardless of his actual intelligence, cannot. They might as well get Hoda and Kathy Lee (actually that would kinda own).

escape artist posted:If I ever get on there, I'm going to try and deliberately find the Daily Doubles quickly, and get them out of the way by wagering like $5 on them if it's a category I don't know. I don't lose money, but I do deny my opponents an opportunity to score big with one clue. Didn't the one guy we were bitching about a couple weeks ago do this? I seem to remember a dude who instead doing the whole "start at $200, go straight down" thing was starting the middle, hopping categories, etc.

The auditions aren't special or interesting. You take another test and everyone plays with the buzzers. The only thing interesting/different when I went was that clue crew Kelly was there and she talked to us and answered questions during some downtime. One lady from my group made it on, I remembered her story. She didn't win.

Seriously people this ain't Stump the Schwab, two of the questions will be piss easy unless you live under a rock, two of them will be about sports but figured out with general knowledge (like, you wouldn't need to know basketball to guess that the Golden State Warriors play in California), and the very last one will be something you'd need to be a fan to get.
