HookShot posted:So, the question of the different intros came up in the contestants FB group the other day and it’s actually not what we all think! Apparently in an interview Ken was asked the same thing and he replied that he thought the title should belong to Alex and only Alex, and so he requested that he be introduced differently. Ken once again showing he’s the best person for the job

I AM GRANDO posted:They’re very different skill sets. A closer analogue might be talk-show host, which is another thing not every actor can do—and many talk-show hosts are not great at acting when they try it, or they escaped acting and are good at hosting. The history of quiz shows is dotted with people who started emceeing in the hopes that something bigger comes along but ultimately only being known as game show hosts. And by dotted I mean two: Monty Hall and Richard Dawson. At least Monty had his paychecks as a producer to wipe his tears away. Dawson should have been given more movie roles after the running man and I will fuckin die on that hill.

Even in 2018 when I filmed he would only come in for the afternoons, and they'd have Sarah from the Clue Crew do the introductions in the morning and just dub him over after. Also, so for the College championships they got the same casting company that picked the professors to do the casting, apparently, and they apparently did not do a google search of all the contestants, because the kid from NYU was caught in an HQ cheating scandal a couple years ago. This is a really well-run show right now.

mearn posted:Yet the day before "Who is Harrison?" was enough for a question about a US President. She even took advantage of that to smugly clarify which Harrison herself in her continuing trend of reading extra info off of the answer sheet in place of actually adding anything of value to the game. I also noticed she absolutely sucks at end of round transitions: All she does is read out the scores every single time. I think both things are symptoms of her being an actress used to reading from a script that she just cannot improvise anything.

Seriously , I’m leaving it open to come back to, but we have been basically not watching jeopardy and boycotting it since they keep loving up, and I think it’s a good idea. If they want to run this poo poo into the ground , I don’t need to be around to see it.

HookShot posted:The Ken ones are actually good, even though the clue writing has taken a nosedive in quality. I've said this before, but the clue writing took a major dive even before Trebek passed, it's just more noticeable now that someone else is reading them. I think the current writing staff has been in place since 2019, which is when Mike Richards initially took over as producer; they need to (and I think they're going to) do a major house-cleaning when they hit the summer hiatus and have time to hire a new, permanent producer, give the writing staff a check-up from the neck-up, etc. Mister Kingdom posted:Just go back to every episode he's been in (as host and contestant) and piece together the questions from his previous answers.

Today's bagpipes clue was one that popped up when I took the online test recently. Nice to know that they aren't softballing the questions.HookShot posted:SINGLE JEOPARDY This is aggravating me so, so, so goddamn much. Even if Bialik weren't a goddamn quack hawking snake oil, her demeanor is similar to Katie Couric; Couric drove me nuts because she acted like a 4-K teacher. "Okay, you've all done great, now, let's play more Jeopardy!" I was married to a pre-K teacher for 13 years. Timby fucked around with this message at 11:09 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Timby posted:Today's bagpipes clue was one that popped up when I took the online test recently. Nice to know that they aren't softballing the questions. I just said this same thing the other day during a game. She sounds like a kindergarten teacher encouraging children with that exact voice you use when you're trying really hard to fake enthusiasm. It hits its peak any time anyone says "true daily double", she loses her loving mind repeating that. She also has nothing of value to add to the game, all she does is read from her answer sheet and then read out the scores at the end of each round. Coupled with how she likes to make "jokes" after clues that often land as "what loving nerd would know that", it's been tripping a lot of my pet peeves about American anti-intellectualist culture that has no place in this game of all things. Contrast that with Ken's obvious love of the game and of knowledge; if there's a missed clue or extra tidbits, he always comes across as that guy who just can't resist sharing this cool thing he knows at a party.
