BaronVonVaderham posted:The dream for me would be the other night's Astronomy final (one of those categories where even if I have 80k to my opponents' $5 each, I'd still bet it all and go for a record), but my friend correctly pointed out that with my luck I'd get some sort of obscure sports clue like this instead where I'm completely hosed unless I had a runaway game. See, this one to me didn't seem that hard. I'm not a huge golf fan by any stretch, but I knew Phil was around the right age and probably rich. It was an educated guess, but I got it right. That's one of my favorite things about Jeopardy-as knowledgeable as these contestants all are, they all have their blind spots.

Erwin posted:It was worded confusingly as well. We both thought they were looking for the modern name and that seemed too obvious. That was my feeling as well. I went with Superior myself, but I also realized I misunderstood the clue and had to re-read it twice before I realized what they were going for.

Another fairly surprising triple whiff on the Final tonight.

HookShot posted:It appears they're only taking contestants from the LA area right now, and honestly, the lack of variety in the contestant pool is REALLY starting to show. Yeah, but logistically, they're the only people able to travel to the studio at this point. That said, there's 12 million in the LA Metro area, I'm hoping we just had a couple crappy nights.

There was...not a lot of difficult clues during that game, IMO. Wow.

The last few games are where the depleted player pool really seems to show for me. Carlos is a good player, but otherwise, the last few games have been fairly pedestrian.

Doubt it would happen, but I think John Hodgman could do a really good job.

He's also a writer and most of the comedians I follow on Twitter seem to follow him, so he's apparently of some renown.

F_Shit_Fitzgerald posted:The '80s Jeopardy theme is the best, along with this (which I wish they'd bring back): As a kid, my wife had a PC version of Jeopardy which came on a floppy disk. Her Dad was playing around with the disk, found all the .wav files of Alex doing voiceover, and the sound effects, and re-recorded them in his voice. When my wife started a game, the first thing she would hear is her father going "doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo" for the board fill.

The Dr. No bit in the first round made me laugh, particularly Brett’s reaction. Seemed very Alex-like to me.

HookShot posted:I laughed at this at the time; those three contestants obviously have their lives put together way too well. As a regular listener of the Flop House, I can tell you that Elliott Kalan has the same taste in food as an eight year old and subsists primarily on Popeye's Chicken. I was honestly shocked he didn't get the Flamin' Hot Cheetos clue.

I don't know about you all, but I've gotten to the point where I don't really think about Alex during the game. Yeah, there's things I'm sure he'd do better than Ken, but it's a testament to how well designed the game is that, once it's going, I don't think about the difference between him and Ken.

Vulture Culture posted:I've still seen no sign that they approached Michael McKean, who was another obvious correct choice and probably the best Celebrity Jeopardy! contestant to ever play the game Was Andy Richter really good, or did he just look better because he was playing against Wolf Blitzer?
