GOAT is over.

I got a few more last night that they missed. Ergo, I could beat them :)

Yes. James could have won game 4 to force a 2-2 tie, but he missed Final Jeopardy THAT I GOT RIGHT. What a chump.

Thibodeaux appears on the show. Twenty years later, BAM, Alex dies. Hell of a coincidence.

Been binge-watching the SNL clips: they really are some of the best bits of all time, IMO.

Came across this today:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_Dmg3q1cmg

One of the SNL bits, Connery says something like "you wouldn't look so smart without those cards, Trebek."

Well, I know he ABSOLUTELY does know the material, because I got a question wrong, and HE KNEW WHY...because I was thinking of another painting by the same artist.

The 60 minutes clip made me sad. I mostly don't give a rat's ass when a celebrity dies. But I guess now I understand, a little. I have no idea if Trebek was a nice guy, good man, whatever. But damn, he did his job, and he did his job well, for a long time. I hope he's in The Good Place.

The SNL Jeopardy skits are some of the best work they ever did.

The shooting process is interesting. But he spends a couple of hours every morning going over that day's five episodes of clues, meeting with the writers, etc, to get background.

'Jeopardy!' names Ken Jennings as its first interim host after Alex Trebek's death
My wife doesn't think his voice is good enough.

He did! I think, I haven't seen it yet.

Exec producer Mike Richards might be the lead candidate. Honestly, he was one of the best temp people they had, and he has none of the baggage of the others.

While I kind of wanted Jennings, he's busy enough on several game shows.

Rodgers would have been the most entertaining choice.

Rodgers was terrible. He was like a glass of warm milk before bed. So sleepy.

He was terrible, and there was also the very fun chance that he could snap at any point and attack someone or run crying off screen.

lol

Like 5-10% of the time he was good, and showed some personality and humour. The other 90-95%, ugh. read me a bedtime story.
