No offense intended to Zelensky at all, because I know he and his country have been through it, but I'm sick of carefully choreographed political stagecraft and would rather watch Jeopardy.

Search the airdate on YouTube, people upload the day of and you can usually catch it before it gets copyright removed. That's how we watched today.

I lost to a TOC participant! :woop:

Not sure if Wheel got bumped here since I don't watch Wheel but I'd assume any OTA station with a national news presence in the US got bumped at 00:30 UTC.

Didn't know Gene Autry wrote Santa Claus is Coming to Town so that's neat. Bit of a heavyweight Ontario fight, Alex would be proud.

Oooooooooooh!

My family was wondering about the swaying and an article said this:

quote:

While some fans might be annoyed by LaLonde, the Ontario native has a medical reason for his swaying. According to TBS News Watch, “He suffered some spinal cord damage over a period of years and had to work hard to prevent muscle spasms in his legs while he was on camera.”
…so maybe I’d say he can sway as much as he wants, I’m fine.

"You'll never know if you can fly unless you take the risk of falling."
Hooray, Sway Ray Pay Day... May Bay?

K.

Also the swaying isn't anything, I can't even stand in place for long periods of time so at least it's a swivel back and forth like a dance, instead of what typically happens - an award contestant puts the device above the podium and keeps rapidly pressing even though they were locked out.

Anything to calm contestants down and let them do well!

I get it. I have a compression fracture in my spine (knocked my height down by a little over two inches), and it's incredibly painful for me to be on my feet for more than five minutes or so, to say nothing of the time it would take to tape multiple episodes of Jeopardy in a day.

It's incredible that nobody on the J! production team took the decision to short-circuit the casting process, get Ray's twin brother on the first plane to Los Angeles, and have them play in a game against each other.

Are old episodes available for streaming anywhere? Other than youtube uploads? I want to see a big bunch of 80s or 90s episodes.

Pluto TV (free) has a streaming channel with mostly 90s and 2000s episodes and I believe you can browse them on demand through the app as well.

Netflix has, at times, had ToCs up there, along with stuff like "The Buzzy Cohen collection" or whatever but i don't think they currently have anything :(

A whole category about flutes in rock music and no mention of Jethro Tull is an incredible waste.

I thought so too. I kept telling my kid the next one is gonna be Jethro Tull. And I was wrong five times.

They won a Grammy for it and the brat doesn’t even know who they are

I think Mayim starts FILMING soon, but her episodes won't air for 6+ weeks if that's the case.

She begins taping next week (in addition to the tournaments), but, yes, her episodes won't air until late February or early March. They're goosing the taping schedule a bit to work around her Call Me Kat filming requirements.
