JEOPARDY! 2022

Me neither. Strange. I don’t think Florida counts.

 

Tom Petty was a Southerner. Tom Petty was a rocker.

 

Permanent Jeopardy! host to be announced 'very soon,' says EP

 

One page plus on one Jeopardy question/answer.

 

Bet it's Ken.

 

I bet it will be and I'll be very surprised if it isn’t.

 

After the Mike Richards debacle and minor rumblings about some of KJ's online posts, the show seemed to spend the season seeing how all that will play out. It appears to be water under the bridge so especially after his exit from The Chase, all signs point to him being the heir apparent.

 

Ken is a much more relaxed & professional host since his audition in the beginning. I didn't like him the but he's a good choice now. Mayim still seems to be playing the part of what she thinks a game show host is. Not great.

 

Yes, and Mayim will still have her sitcom job. So my guess is they’ll have her do the primetime shows, and Ken will do the syndicated episodes.

 

Gonna miss Mayim's giggle every damn time the Daily Double appears.

 

I wouldn't count on Ken's being off 'The Chase' as a definite sign: I mean that British guy's no longer on the show either.

I don't agree that it could be a sign, just nothing definite...

(Still hoping Mayim gets the gig, but Ken's a good second choice.)

 

Exactly, I wouldn't have gotten it right.

 

Prior to this year, Ken was on Master Mind, The Chase and Jeopardy. I think it's telling he's cleared his slate. I'm sure the show wants someone who will give their full attention to become the face of Jeopardy. Like it or not, KJ fits that description and this is coming from someone who thought Richards was the best fit.

 

I thought tonight's final was ridiculously easy, and yet all three got it wrong. Weird.

 

What was it?

 

In the opening scene of its July 21, 1969 pilot episode, a man carves the letter D into wet cement

 

The key to the answer is “the letter D”

 

One guy said "Dick Tracy". The others had no answer

 

I shoulda known it but didn’t. Maybe they know how to bamboozle better than we think.

 

A show that teaches about letters, numbers, friendship and the like, and apparently teaching children the art of vandalism at an early age too.

 

I had no idea what the answer was.

 

I didn't get it. What threw me was the start date of July 1969, which to me signaled a summer replacement series. I guessed The Dean Martin Show, which I will admit I've never seen the opening of.

 

Overall the Final Jeopardy questions seem harder and more convoluted than they used to be. Even topics that I thought I knew are no longer sure things.

 

I struggled and didn't get it. I would never have guessed it.

 

I had no clue what the answer was and I used to watch Sesame Street daily when I was a kid. My best guess was Mash, lol.
