getting beaten at press your luck, tho -- that's where the real prestige lies. not since remote control has a game show made it a point to draw attention to how lousy a player you are. Gene Hackman Fan fucked around with this message at 22:57 on Jul 28, 2021 |

A fun thing about Jeopardy watching/listening is that during my childhood, it aired on Channel 6. Until, I think the digital transition, you could pick up anyone's Channel 6 as 87.7 on your FM dial. Jeopardy was a nightly thing in our household (7:30) and if you were stuck on the road, you could almost always pick up the broadcast on that radio station.

I was on wheel a few years ago and practiced a ton. I am definitely rustier now, although my wife has always been really good.

The Sean posted:Also, goon person who's wife was on recently: She loving outed pirating jeopardy videos. wtf? (for real, though, she seemed really cool) Her original plan was to say "this was before DVRs" or "before TiVo" but felt "before YouTube" was a better timeframe. She wasn't thinking about pirating, just time shifting, not her fault the only good way to do that with Jeopardy! is YouTube.

The five anecdotes on the Jeopardy audition form was intimidating enough for me. I don't think I have the ingredients to be on Wheel. No military service, no spouse, one temperamental tuxedo cat who I resent half the time... Also, I'm just a flat-out mediocre hangman player.

I figure if I'm ever on wheel and have a good streak without knowing the answer, I'd probably throw it by guessing a known bad letter, that way I don't hit a bankrupt and lose everything. This would be especially if I had some of the tiles on my board like a coveted wild card.

FM carrier at 1/3 power so you always had to turn it up. Although the big broadcast stations moved in 2009, NTSC finally went dark just a few weeks ago

Yeah, he's gunning for James' records LeVar is trying his best given the hype machine but things aren't clicking. Awkward pauses, Silences so large you could run a commercial in them and today declaring a wrong answer then calling it correct seconds later. Insert Reading Rainbow quote here. Since Aaron has made up with cheeseheads sort of, guess he's out of the running. He'll have some TV work when he hangs up his cleats and not just as a talking head on pregame.

Jeopardy could probably improve that ratio, but it’s difficult when the entirety of human history has been biased against women. There are some categories that would be a struggle to get more than one woman name that people would know.

I’m not saying he’s the #1 guest host or anything, but Levar is doing fine and brings a different approach than the others have, which I appreciate.

Duckman2008 posted:I’m not saying he’s the #1 guest host or anything, but Levar is doing fine and brings a different approach than the others have, which I appreciate. Agreed. As previously mentioned, his only issue seems to be lack of fluency causing a few timing hiccups, which is easily remedied with more experience. I think it's made worse by just how awkward some of the games have been...dude has had so many triple stumpers, multiple dumb answers, that fun time someone answered so late another contestant had rung in, and of course the record lowest score of all time. All that factored in, his pacing has worked out fine enough so he's not leaving half of the board uncovered. You can't fix someone whose delivery is just flat and boring, or is a fake doctor who doesn't want to even be there. Remember these were all filmed in a single day, he had no opportunity to really shake it off and adjust. Think back to how Ken started in his first week versus how he was in week 2, let alone 6.

I agree with this. I'm not super big on LeVar so far but I also wish he had a full two weeks because he brings a great and different energy that most of the other guest hosts don't have - he doesn't seem to be trying to emulate Alex like some of the others. I think his own brand would grow nicely over time, he's just had a rough week for his only week's trial.

Dr. Oz had a better chance to get the job. At this point assuming Faber and Buck don't get it, who should and who will get the role?

The writers seem inconsistent lately, with some very bad clues and very few good ones. That said, I loved the FJ clue on Friday even though I got it wrong.

I understand the desire if not pressure for equality by wanting to check off as many quotas as possible but IMO the top three contenders are all white men. Is it wrong if one of them gets it?

Levar Burton has been absolutely terrible. Like I can't believe all of the missteps and poor form in his hosting. I like him as a dude but man, he's just awful as a game show host and I'm glad he's done.

I thought Buzzy did the best. My wife hated him. She liked Aaron Rodgers but I doubt he does it because he's still playing football. Edit: I kinda wish LeVar had more time to get comfortable. Darth Brooks fucked around with this message at 04:10 on Jul 31, 2021 |
