Jeopardy! Thread (No spoilers until after the show EST)

Can someone remind me what James’ 22 handle was?

crockpot

Thanks.

funny enough his handle on the popular bridge app is 0skillz

It amuses me the two handles I know of James is 0skillz and crockpot

Is he as good at bridge as he is at Jeopardy?

No…but he is top maybe .01% in bridge where he is top 3 of all time in jeopardy.

That being said jjmeck is top 3 all time in bridge. And jjmeck is playing with him

Have there been 30,000 Jeopardy contestants?

Well no

But if you include people taking the test, or even imagine people taking the test…

I can absolutely imagine there are ~James level people out there who just don’t get past the audition.

42 weeks x 5 days x 2 new players x 37(?) years

15,540 ballpark.

They take a few weeks off in the sunmer and there are some weeks that are tournaments (though some of those are new players). 42 weeks is a guess.

So top 0.02%.

Very cute.

Fuck cancer

Katie Couric sucks. That’s the post.

i haven’t seen katie couric in like 15 years but it feels like 30

Why was she on camera so much?

Why did she call the contestants Braniacs instead of smarty-pants?

Did she have to be redubbed a couple of times?

She’s clearly reading from the card! C’mon, man!

In the middle of binge watching the Chase. I don’t know how anyone can’t think Brad wouldn’t crush the hosting gig. He’s so much more natural than Ken. Ken only seems normal because James is so unnatural on TV.

Brad would be the most polished one for sure but no idea if he’s into it.

I think Ken’s personality is more than good enough for his role in The Chase, and he progressed enough during the Jeopardy hosting gig to become “non-traditional host type that I’d ultimately be fine with”, my guess is they’ll offer someone else the job but Ken would be a 2nd/3rd choice so he has a shot.

James only seems close to non-awkward in his little lounge segments on the Chase. He strikes me as a guy who you’d lose a friendship with because he made a really funny dig at you, but said it in a non-sarcastic aspie way that made you think he was dead serious and hates you.

There is no doubt that Brad would jump at the chance to be Alex Trebek 2.0. No uncertainty whatsoever.

I’ve got a little of that myself, so I’m familiar with the problem. Of course, of the three, James is the one I’d be most likely to be friends it in real life. I suspect that’s true for many here.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it through another week, Katie Couric is so bad at this.
