sexpig by night posted:yea I got it by pure virtue of 'well 1949 and a volcano, gotta be Hawaii' but I think at least one of them did the same and thought 'wait no that's too obvious where else are volcanos' I wondered if the 1949 threw people off, since Hawaii wasn't a state at that point. The phrasing implied to me that the cemetery was founded in a US state in 1949.

I think that's what tripped everyone up but the timing screams WWII and only Hawaii was directly impacted by the war so what else could it be?

I assume Wyoming person was thinking of internment camps (in a place where the population had been ultra low before). But yeah my dad and I both guessed it from the topic alone

Also there's just nothing in Wyoming. I said Oregon next, since it's the only other state I could think of with extinct volcano craters. I passed over Hawaii since its primary volcano is active and I knew it wasn't a state yet. I knew both my other ideas were wrong but couldn't come up with another guess. Just a really tough week of finals all around. I'm kind of glad to see Amy missed a lot, makes me feel better about doing the same on a few.

We were on the exact same train of thought. I also confused myself because for some reason it sounded like a mass grave thing, which I knew it wasn't, but it kept distracting me with the idea of like throwing 40,000 bodies into a volcano or something.

https://ew.com/tv/jeopardy-highest-rated-non-sports-show-week-of-dec-27/ So J! has the highest ratings it's recorded in three decades in the middle of a hosting debacle. You can't make this poo poo up.

They also have a high-profile superchamp and honestly most people aren't gonna care about the hosting thing since it's stabilized with Ken and Mayim.

There still isn't a named, permanent host though, and it's been just about two years. Obviously it's Amy generating these amazing ratings for sure, and it being on the back of another superchamp likely helps, but at this point there should 100% have been stability in that hosting chair instead of Sony waiting for Bialik's stupid show to get cancelled.

Iron Crowned posted:Had Mike Richards not been plotting to take over, they would have been vetting hosts shortly after Alex's announcement Yeah. But also Mike Richards was fired five months ago. I mean, I get it, they want Bialik to be the permanent host, but they're now still dealing with a multiple host situation at a time when they absolutely should have moved past that.

Most people just see that there's a very charismatic lady winning huge and for all intents and purposes the hosts are settled with Ken and Mayim. No surprise at all ratings are doing well despite the backstage poo poo.

Iron Crowned posted:But the bazinga demographic! That bazinga demo is also the main demo of Jeopardy! audience. CBS also aired the show (and airs its spinoff) & controls Jeopardy! distribution so they're following the money. If the core demo of geriatrics want the funny lady on TV over the smart Mormon then logic be damned. As much as we want it, our favorite gameshow does not exist in a bubble. It is still a proverbial toy used by executives by Sony and CBS to either consolidate or hold onto power. Since it's syndicated, it's existence is at the whims of the networks too and if they feel they can free up the hour (due to it and Wheel of Fortune tied at the hip) for something else, they will.

The Jeopardy! audience is pretty much set grabbing the lady who was on Big Bang Theory is a move by out of touch execs. It makes a lot more sense to make the most famous contestant of all time the host.

Also Ken is just plainly better at being the drat host. Now he’s had years of doing various game show poo poo since his Jeopardy run so it’s not impossible she could get better with time but why put the show through a lengthy learning process?

When was the last time a game show picked a emcee who wasn't known for something else? The era of plugging in a Wink Martindale or Chuck Woolery into a show ended a long time ago. Same reason why animated films no longer have dedicated voice actors headline films in favor giving a ton of cash to a A-Lister or supplementing a work with them. If going on merit, Buzzy and Ken easily win out but we don't live in that world. Sony/CBS want a host who's known in Los Angeles and Lewisburg, PA.

There’s something so incredibly demented that a petty gameshow executive ran a shadow campaign to effectively coup control away from a soon to be dead man.

I did enjoy the last batch of episodes Mike Richards hosted, only because when they were recorded he totally thought his plan worked and we knew he was gone.

Last night we were watching the episode where one of the answers was a five-letter Japanese art similar to manga. Enter Mr. Hookshot: "Oh! Hentai!" Me: "I have never in my life wished more that you were on that stage right now giving that answer." Mr. Hookshot: "Why? Is that wrong? What's hentai?" Me: "Anime porn." Mr. Hookshot: "I hate the internet"

He was also off by a letter. Fake edit: drawing a blank at what the 5 letter answer would be!
