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

I assume most viewers like him considering he gets all the prime sporting events.

Anderson Cooper did fine but perhaps not as well as I hoped.

But our tool of a champion down 15,800 to 10,000 on a late-ish DD wagers just 3,000.

Ends up behind 5,800 after leaving 7,000 on the table.

Fairly easy final. Would have won except for the lack of balls.

FUCKKKKK Andy Coopey (as my zoomer son calls him) was pre-empted here locally by the chauvin trial

Coops is okay so far.

Easily the best one so far, but yeah, I agree with Dan that it wasnā€™t as good as I was expecting. Iā€™m sure a lot of that comes from the first time hosting anything, no matter how much experience you have.

He paused too long before saying someone gave a correct answer. Otherwise, elite

I only caught FJ today and he sounded the same way he does when heā€™s reporting on politics or a mass shooting. If he brings a little more New Years Rockin Eve energy it would probably be better. Just keep Kathy Griffin far, far away from the set.

To be fair Joe Buck has gotten a lot better since then. Certainly not an exciting choice but he probably wonā€™t be terrible.

Same. This happened every day during impeachment

This is true.

Nah, heā€™ll probably be very terrible.

I got 3 and a half minutes of the Coop today before CBS broke in to tell us that they might get a verdict soon maybe and then spent the rest of the jeopardy time slot showing pictures of the inside of the courtroom with nothing going on and pictures of the crowd outside. Thanks.

HOT TAKE: Andy Coops is basically okay and Iā€™ll only be a little mad if he gets the job.

The fuck kinda wager is that?

Hope LeVar gets the full time gig.

Heā€™s fine. I find him to be pretty boring and I think his ceiling is pretty limited due to lack of humor but out of the people Iā€™ve caught so far heā€™s probably been the best. Still think I prefer Ken but now gonna root for Levar as well. Not sure I know who Robin Robertā€™s or David Faber are; the latter sounds like a right-wing talk show host.

Robin Roberts was I believe the host of Good Morning America at some point and I definitely remember her on Sportscenter

Also AC led to this exchange with my wife (note we used to watch Jeopardy all the time before kids but the 430 time slot here is really bad for us now)
Her: Is this a rerun?
Me: (after a beat) Err, no.
Her: (looks up and sees Anderson Cooper). He sounds just like Trebek!?
Me: No he doesnā€™t, he just sounds comfortable on TV compared to the last few hosts.
Her: ohā€¦yeah

Iā€™ve seen Levar Burton host a ā€œgame showā€ before! :wink: Iā€™d post the video here but I donā€™t want my haters to follow me. Obviously rooting for him, but I was also pretty sure Anderson Cooper would be good. Itā€™s all about experience.

fine.

The show is called Whoā€™s the captain now they should have got the guy from captain phillips
