OT: Jeopardy Host Search

Ken is the answer. He’s as close to being synonymous with Jeopardy as Trebek was.

I know Ken has said some controversial things in the past but he definitely has earned the right to be the full time host. My main thing was I hoped it wasn't someone who would make the show political or divert attention from the players. Jeopardy is a player driven show not a celebrity driven show, Alex understood that and I think Ken does too.

Jeopardy over the years substituted family dinners. That was family time. Awesome show, I still go back to my parents house at least once a week to watch with them.
 
Yeah why don't ya gimme ape tit for $200?

I thought the best guest host was the guy they picked and then canned, the producer.

And Amodio is done. Went into final J in 3rd place. Didn't know the Alps don't extend to Poland apparently. I think he took a dive.

I believe I could've beaten all three of them tonight. They missed a number of easy ones.

Have you taken the test for the show?

Yep. I have many categories I'm terrible at (e.g. Euro royals, current pop singers, mythology, et.al.), and I've had those the couple times I did the quiz. But the categories last night were pretty much in my wheelhouse.

I had a friend who did get on was leading, and blew the final question, but I knew the answer was "Suriname". Dude was super smart, but that became an ongoing punchline ;-)
 
I mentioned this before, but when I was UConn Jeopardy was broadcast early, like 3 or 4, prior to the 7PM broadcast. A buddy of mine and I would watch it early, and then low key answer the questions, always shrugging it off as being easy questions. Sometimes I'd answer, sometimes he'd answer, sometimes we'd simultaneously answer. People were like "OMG you guys should go on the show!" and we'd just shrug it off.

Good times.

Basically the question came down to Czech or Austria, maybe Hungary. Poland was such a bizarre answer for a guy of Amodio's caliber it was fishy

I got 6 of 10 on this, missed a really easy one.

And Amy Schneider goes down.

Final Jeopardy: What is the only country whose name in English ends with an H? It's also one of the 10 most populous.

Swear to God I had a feeling that Rhone was going to take her down as soon as I saw his name. I lost some confidence when I first heard him speak, but damn he did it.

I also loved that Amy chose the NFL category as her first (and I was happy that I swept it; how could they miss Unitas?!?)

Especially by answering "Namath".

I think Rhone has good buzzer skills. Or Amy was slow on the take tonight. He ripped through quite a few answers that were normally gimmes for Amy.

Anyway, should be a fun ToC between her and Amodio. And I'm looking forward to the day when another All-Time Champ game comes along and James competes against Amy with Ken as host.

I would have guessed "What is Chinah?"
 
A UConn '22/Ludlowe grad (Mihir Nede) won yesterday's game (I missed it), but doesn't look like he's going to make good today - in 3rd heading to final with no chance of overtaking leader.
 
I still hold out hope it’s Aaron Rodgers
