r/Jeopardy

Hey, everyone!

It's Tyger. I know I posted a while ago about how I applied to be the next trivia writer. Unfortunately, I was not selected for the job. It will not be me.

I received an email today stating that while I passed through the early qualifications, I will not move forward in the selection process.

I guess I didn't do enough to stand out. It sucks.

I'm just dejected today. The dream job is gone.

Congratulations to the person selected, if they've already been. I'm happy for you.

It's my summer tradition to take the any time test. I can see in my test history that it has been over a year since the last time I took it. But when I attempt to take the test, they tell me I'm ineligible.

Does this imply that I passed the Jeoparday test in March? I wasn't completely sure whether I had or not. But if they're blocking me from taking the test today because I am already on the list of people they might contact for a Zoom test, that would make sense.

Tony Kornheiser spent multiple days on summer 2004 PTI shows talking about the Ken Jennings Jeopardy run.

The exposé that changed the course of the show forever and it's aftereffects on it like the ouster of Mike Richards as executive producer and short tenure of Mayim Bialik as host.

5 years later, we now saw Ken Jennings hosted 1,001 episodes on syndication. One week from now, its the Season 4 premiere of Jeopardy! Masters.

Game itself is here: https://www.theatlantic.com/games/rabbithole/ - linking to a social media post since Reddit is interpreting the link itself as potential self-promotion. To be clear I am not Drew (u/drewlgoins) and I found out about this via CNN‘s Reliable Sources newsletter.

Does anyone else’s pop culture jeopardy episodes lag video behind the audio??? Every single episode? I try restarting the episode, I try restarting the app, I try pausing for a really long time, I try combos of all three. No matter what, it happens every couple minutes the whole episode long. It’s not happening for any other show or any other app. I’ve watched 8 episodes over multiple days this way. I basically hit pause/play over and over again. Sometimes I just let it be laggy. It’s SOOOOOOO frustrating haha! Help?

Nuff said

Hello Fellow Jeoparinos,

I am going to taping the show in about a month. I was gifted a Delcom button to practice. Are there any software applications I can use it to practice buzzing in?

Hello! I suppose this could be open to anyone, but I think s42 alumni would probably be the target audience. I bought this shirt in a unisex (ie, men's) size M and am not happy with the fit. I'm planning on returning it but before I do I'm just going to offer it to anyone on this sub, just to reduce potential waste. DM me if you want it. The shirt seems well-made, is in good shape and it will have your name on it!

Cheers.

The finale week of Season 42 ended with a strong TV ratings which was covered by Ken's 1000th episode as host on syndication on Thursday & Matthew Riggle's comeback at Double Jeopardy! round on his debut game & the season finale episode.

Season 42 finale week (8.755 million) increased by 14% in total viewers vs last year's finale week (7.684 million).

Last year Jeopardy! Masters (Season 3) struggled in the TV ratings (minus the streaming numbers) vs TV ratings juggernaut Survivor 48 due to the absence of J! Legend James Holzhauer. This year they decided to move out of May schedule to avoid heavy competition with Survivor especially the hype of Season 50 although Celebrity Jeopardy! All Stars 2nd semifinal round competed against the penultimate episode of Survivor 50.

This year, Masters Season 4 will air this August 25 & this time they will compete against live shows of America's Got Talent & current airing of Big Brother. I will focus on BB28 since they casted a repeat player Angela Murray from Season 26 & 2 Survivor Alumni Dee Valladares & Rick Devens.

Will this year's Masters improve the TV ratings or will fall short because of the hype of the 3 reality TV stars from BB who are still in the running?

Immediately I think of big quizzers who are alum of the show like Anu Kashyap or Patrick Friel. Also, big crossworders like Erik Agard. I also think Matt Jackson looked pretty darn competitive against her in the JIT semifinal.

It still choked me up a bit, but what was even more wild is my better half (Who I met after all the drama), saw the announcement and said, "When did Alex die?"

HINT: I religiously watch Jeopardy after work, unless preempted.

I had to explain the whole scenario, the replacement episodes. When i told her Mike tried to shoehorn himself into hosting, I was a bit comforted by, "THAT guy wanted to be host? He's so dull!"

Today's correct Final Jeopardy response was ">!What is The Compleat Angler?!<" If anybody had known that, would the judges have required the correct spelling, or would ">!complete!<" have counted?
