Will that guy on Jeopardy ever lose?

meanwhile the answers increasingly involve raunchiness and toilet humor

lmao forks

haha! steve would be great. *stares blankly at camera in disbelief* he has an acorns ad that plays on duolingo and i always turn the sound on and annoy my bf by watching it because i think it's so funny that he calls is "acorn" IN THE AD

BREAKING: Mike Richards is OUT as Executive Producer of "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune"

Right wing game shows are an untapped marked. Jeopardy but all the answers are from Conservapedia.

Picking any six of the "Popular articles at Conservapedia" list on their front page would make a truly horrifying and amusing jeopardy round.

"I'll take 'Mystery:Why Do Non-Conservatives Exist?' for $400, Mike"

"Answers must be in the form of a GIF meme"

Daily Pepe

now that Final Jeopardy is over, here is the Point Recount round, where we have the audience decide who really won

Right wing game shows are an untapped marked. Jeopardy but all the answers are from Conservapedia.

Paging Pat Sajak.

Chuck Woolery has that gig on lock.

It's really the entire industry.

John O'Hurley of Family Feud/Seinfeld fame is quite conservative.

Wink Martindale was an early Trump supporter, as was Bob Barker.

Drew Carey was a Ron Paul guy. etc

that explains why he currently looks like a smug BMV driving upstate college professor then

I just looked up when exactly Bob Barker died, and... he's still alive(!) at 97

And he'll stay alive until every pet in Los Angeles is spayed or neutered.

in any case, thank god they finally got this guy off the show completely

Some judged Mike Richards solely on his podcast comments and formed a negative opinion, but I judged him by the way he treated people backstage at Jeopardy and formed a much stronger negative opinion https://t.co/mebtz0Tgc3

LOL

Knives out.

holzhauer is hilarious

I caught one episode of the show he works on, it’s not bad. Being the guy tasked with ruining peoples’ chances at a life-changing payday seems like a bummer though.

Richards seems to be from a long line of people that can somehow navigate the corporate world falling upwards while being a total kiss ass to his managers and terrible to anyone around him that cannot help him out. That really seems to be one of the more successful ways to go it seems in any field.

.

I kind of love that his downfall was tied into him deciding the world needed a behind the scenes pod about The Price Is Right that would somehow go beyond subjects like the origin of Plinko.

Mike Richards: "It's What The Kids Want!"

what is it with the name Michael Richards jesus

The five episodes that Richards shot in his first and only day as “Jeopardy!” permanent host were scheduled to start off the new season on Sept. 13; as of now the plan is to air those episodes, even though he is no longer EP or host

these are gonna be strange

i also have to assume richards is gonna sue sony? tho i guess he still has an overall deal there whatever that exactly means, maybe they will throw a ton of $ at him to go away

luckily the handoff was easy and uncomplicated

matt amodio has surpassed james holzhauers’ streak in games won. although he’s only made about a third as much money in that time (800k v.s 2.4m)

& btw wouldve lost yesterday if his opponent knew roger rabbit

Holzhauer won 32 games, Amodio is only at 23.

Or 24, as stated at the top of today's ep.

It’s a shame he came on in this fucked up luminal time, I would otherwise be following closely

Unlike Holzhauer, Amodio rarely goes all-in on Final Jeopardy. I could see that he didn't know Who Framed Roger Rabbit? last night, because he stared straight ahead for a long time before writing down his answer. But I didn't think he'd lose, because he's been pretty conservative on Final. He sometimes goes all-in on Double Jeopardy questions, and once that put him in negative territory, but he's a much more conservative better than Holzhauer.

Also, fun fact: Eddie Murphy turned down the role that went to Bob Hoskins.

my mom calls him Matt Immodium

(she does not like him)

Holzhauer won 32 games, Amodio is only at 23.

oops misread. my bad

the girl who could’ve beat him on monday with the Roger rabbit question was smashing the pop culture categories, i thought he was in trouble when they announced final jeopardy category was 80s movies and it wasn’t a runaway

i like matt

I think he is cool too, dude likes some baseball. Dude flat out knows his geography and kills on the lit questions.

Hard to believe he missed the Turing question tonight considering he is an AI doctoral student.

Seeing Mayim Bialik host for the first time, she's terrible.

yep

So many people not making Final Jeopardy against Amodio. He goes up by so much so early I think it makes competitors swing for the fences a bit

what's goin on Amodio? u shook!

finished in last damn

Amodio's loss was kind of like the excellent sports team that wins by a ton week after week and then finally gets in a close game and kinda comes apart at the seams.

questions seemed super easy. otoh, matt got a few obvious ones wrong (spawn dude?!)
