yeah!! I thought for sure guys as online as James & Ken would know that one. I also got "nitwit", the 2 cybersecurity ones, "Jeet Kune Do", and the Kanye one of course
I know this tweet is out of date now but I still thought it was pretty funny at the time

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2019 season is nominated in the 2019 ILX TV poll:
ILX's Best Television of 2019 Poll / VOTING AND CAMPAIGNING THREAD / Voting Ends January 31
If you like this show and you'd like to see it have a good showing in the poll (running in February) all you need to do is submit a ballot including it and your other favorites (4 minimum, 25 maximum, organized by your favorite to least favorite) to forksclovetofu at gmail by end of day today. It'll take five minutes; get to it!

The champion over-explaining her FJ answer on Monday's episode is some of the most endearing comedy I've seen in a while.

They started rerunning the original Jennings eps today.

Actually they're just re-airing the first Jennings ep today, and the rest of this week they'll have the All-Star tourney w/him & Holtzhauer & Brad from earlier this year.

Have they run out of new episodes? There was nothing at the end of Friday’s to indicate that they were showing old stuff this week.
― A White, White Gay (cryptosicko), Monday, 4 May 2020 17:19 (four years ago) link
i think so. They stopped taping in mid-march and are typically about 6 weeks ahead
― turn the jawhatthefuckever on (One Eye Open), Monday, 4 May 2020 17:38 (four years ago) link
I believe there’s a tournament or two in the can, probably holding them to space out remaining new content
― Clay, Monday, 4 May 2020 21:53 (four years ago) link
Pretty dumb to do first-and-last on Jennings instead of the whole run imo. If this ended tomorrow, they'd still take months to get new eps into the pipeline (it's only been so short lately because of Trebek's health absences), might as well milk as many ~events~ as you can
― Elon's musk (sic), Tuesday, 5 May 2020 02:55 (four years ago) link
They probably can't show all of them due to the horrific racism and sexism no doubt contained in the clues and categories crassly supplied by the Jeopardy writers in those less enlightened times of <checks notes> 2004.

Clearly no one is traveling to be on the show. Every single contestant this week is from the L.A. area
― soaring skrrrtpeggios (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 17:09 (four years ago) link
Yeah, and they said on Monday that the returning champ would not be able to appear right away (presumably due to travel issues/safety).
― "...And the Gods Socially Distanced" (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 16 September 2020 17:21 (four years ago) link
Yeah I haven't watched any from this week yet, waiting to get a handful bundled up to power through.

they’re starting to expand the contestant pool to the rest of the west coast - someone i know in seattle made it to the second round of zoom auditions yesterday

I presume no one knows who Wonderhussy is (I'm a fan), but she appeared on Jeopardy against Ken Jennings in 2003, and she just posted a youtube on the experience.

wow I heard Ken's name floated a few times but I didn't think they'd actually do it
― frogbs, Tuesday, 24 November 2020 02:50 (three years ago) link
I heard those two names just floated bandied about in some Jeopardy circles so am not surprised.
― Robert Gotopieces (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 24 November 2020 02:52 (three years ago) link
and yeah Levar would be an awesome choice
someone I know said "there should be a female host, like who's the female Alex Trebek?" and I immediately thought of Jamie Lee Curtis

Sandy Toksvig iirc

Other possible options that come to mind if they wanted a steady solid paycheck and plenty of time off: Morgan Freeman, Patrick Stewart, Laurence Fishburne, Tilda Swinton

I have of course shared this concept with Twitter and among the responses:
