Anyone watching Jeopardy! Masters? I don't like that they reveal the locations of the Daily Doubles to the audience, but I kind of like the whole rankings and leaderboard setup. And of course it's extremely entertaining.
― Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Wednesday, 10 May 2023 15:45 (eleven months ago) link
I kinda like the DD reveal, it added some anticipation when one of the players was running down a category & everyone missed the second to last answer so they decided to try a new category, but we knew the last answer was the DD just hanging out there waiting for them to come back to it.

The best part so far is James trying so hard to be evil and Ken making fun of him for it

Is it just me, or do the questions on Masters seem more difficult than on regular Jeopardy? I find myself muttering "those prizes are rightfully mine" much less when watching Masters.

seen a few stories today about mayim, who was hosting the final weeks of regular jeopardy this season, walking out on the final week of shoots in solidarity with striking writers, and ken stepping in to shoot the episodes in her place. if true, that sucks. jeopardy's a union show. i loathe her as a host, but full-on respect to her for this.
― fact checking cuz, Thursday, 11 May 2023 21:01 (eleven months ago) link
So how about James's Final Jeopardy zinger last night? All in good fun, of course, but I feel like Ken was kinda stumped on how to respond.

Ben! Tom the Deadhead & Lydia-Claire on now. Good old regular pro-union Jeopardy innnit?
― BrianB, Tuesday, 16 May 2023 23:58 (eleven months ago) link
not really enjoying how hard they're trying to turn every player into a personality in this tournament. i think part of jeopardy's charm is how the gameplay is so rigid and formulaic that only tiny bits of personality are allowed to slip through, and only in certain moments. there's a built-in mystery as to who these people are. you're always left wanting more.
i liked every one of these six players more when i knew them less.
also i find james' zingers not all that zingy. a little cringe even.

Apparently the clues were all written before the strike, and there were only a few episodes left to film. I can see why it's maybe not a good look to go forward with production, but does that count as crossing the picket line? (I genuinely don't know.)
― jaymc, Wednesday, 12 July 2023 14:34 (nine months ago) link

ugh this clue on celeb jeop tonite:
"when she performed 'crazy for you' in the high school wrestling film 'vision quest,' this pop star was virtually unknown"
i assume these episodes were written pre-strike, but maybe the jeopardy fact checking dept already had a foot out the door? (she had the #1 album in the u.s. the week the movie was released, had recently scored her first #1 single, and was well on her way to superstardom.)

― stephen miller is not your friend (Eric H.), Saturday, 16 December 2023 15:37 (four months ago) link
she was an awkward host who never seemed comfortable running the actual game. i won't miss her. but she refused to cross the picket line last season and i'll always respect her for that. (and i'll always be suspicious of ken for not doing the same.)
― fact checking cuz, Saturday, 16 December 2023 15:53 (four months ago) link
I found out about this via a Jim Jarmusch post on Instagram (which he appears to have deleted). Claimed she was the best Jeopardy host of all time.Real head scratcher, that.
― circa1916, Saturday, 16 December 2023 15:59 (four months ago) link
Jeopardy!'s official Facebook account posted a response (which they even formatted like one of their answer screens) that explained Bialik is only out as a syndicated host, reasoning that they wanted more consistency or continuity next season, and said they hope she will be back as a prime-time special host. (Also I guess they consider the exclamation point in their show's name to be mandatory, leading to some awkward looking punctuation in their response.)
Possible Jarmusch deleted that post simply because he found out she wasn't actually out of the show altogether.
