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!"

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 1 September 2021 18:26 (two years ago) link

what is it with the name Michael Richards jesus

Duke Detain (Neanderthal), Wednesday, 1 September 2021 18:37 (two years ago) link

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

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)

flopson, Tuesday, 21 September 2021 08:20 (two years ago) link

& btw wouldve lost yesterday if his opponent knew roger rabbit

johnny crunch, Tuesday, 21 September 2021 12:10 (two years ago) link

Holzhauer won 32 games, Amodio is only at 23.

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 21 September 2021 16:29 (two years ago) link

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

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 21 September 2021 16:32 (two years ago) link

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.

oops misread. my bad

flopson, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 05:41 (two years ago) link

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

flopson, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 05:43 (two years ago) link

i like matt

flopson, Wednesday, 22 September 2021 05:43 (two years ago) link

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

flopson, Saturday, 9 October 2021 23:33 (two years ago) link

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

Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Saturday, 9 October 2021 23:34 (two years ago) link

what's goin on Amodio? u shook!

Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Monday, 11 October 2021 23:21 (two years ago) link

finished in last damn

Gardyloominati (Neanderthal), Monday, 11 October 2021 23:28 (two years ago) link

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.

earlnash, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 02:40 (two years ago) link

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

flopson, Tuesday, 12 October 2021 07:19 (two years ago) link

he choked and the rough thing was he knew he was choking, otoh it was bound to happen! hate to see a big champ go down squirming though

...and on a Monday game (i.e. the first one of that shooting day)!

Precious, Grace, Hill & Beard LTD. (C. Grisso/McCain), Tuesday, 12 October 2021 13:47 (two years ago) link

Yeah, that was surprising. And it seemed like the others' quickness with the buzzer really rattled him. None of his previous opponents came close to him in that regard, and suddenly he had two challengers who were as quick as him (or quicker).

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 12 October 2021 14:54 (two years ago) link

I really wanted the lady in the middle to win, she seemed cool

reggae mike love (polyphonic), Tuesday, 12 October 2021 19:19 (two years ago) link

yeah imagine beating matt and still finishing in second lol. that's rough.

for him to miss a geography based final jeopardy that both other players got correct was really shocking. not that it would've mattered but international geography felt like one of his (many) strong suits through his run. especially one like that where the question inherently narrowed down the answer to essentially a multiple choice set of answers... crazy.

you could tell he was just off kilter the entire second round, which was wild bcuz there were some games where ppl stayed close to him in round 1 and then he would just rip off like 13 of 15 answers in the second round and be up by 25k. even when the buzzer went to him he was out of rhythm, stammering etc. they also stuck both double jeopardies at the top of the board and the one dude getting them back to back pretty much killed any chance matt had at that point. you could tell when the woman in the middle ran through that entire section of medical abbreviations to open the round w/o matt even buzzing in once that something was off

J0rdan S., Tuesday, 12 October 2021 21:45 (two years ago) link

gonna miss matt. looking forward to tournament of champions

flopson, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 05:25 (two years ago) link

they should do a tournament of players who would’ve won an episode had they just not faced matt. you could easily fill a whole week

J0rdan S., Wednesday, 13 October 2021 06:30 (two years ago) link

^that is a really good idea

johnny crunch, Wednesday, 13 October 2021 12:24 (two years ago) link

in general strong 2nd place ppl, not only vs matt; redemption wk or w/e

i didn't catch friday's episode, so when i turned on monday's saw that amy schneider wasn't one of the contestants my heart dropped. turns out it's just a 2-week college professor special and she'll be back after that--phew!

flopson, Tuesday, 7 December 2021 09:38 (two years ago) link

she is fucking good

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 17:13 (two years ago) link

otm. A week or so ago, one of her challengers had a kind of robotic I MUST WIN JEOPARDY thing happening, and beat Amy to the buzzer a bunch of times in the first round. Amy didn't seem rattled in the least, even when she was in negative territory, and cleaned up on Final.

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 17:15 (two years ago) link

the squash player! she was full on terminator mode, scared me from home. a really good player, would've won any other day but amy got that juice.

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 17:18 (two years ago) link

anyways, i have my follow-up at home audition tomorrow. second time through the process!

When Young Sheldon began to rap (forksclovetofu), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 17:19 (two years ago) link

Good luck!

Montgomery Burns' Jazz (Tarfumes The Escape Goat), Tuesday, 7 December 2021 17:47 (two years ago) link

Yeah, the squash player, I just thought, there's no way she can keep up that insane hyper-focused energy through the entire show, much less multiple shows. She lost a lot on a Double, and never regained her momentum. But while she was buzzing in, she was definitely impressive.

This season's Tournament of Champions is gonna be lit.

dying to know what demands, negotiations and hubris led to mayim being introduced every show as "the host of jeopardy" and ken as "hosting jeopardy."

my mom called to tell me about this and framed it as "I don't think they got her jeopardy winnings? the npr article wasn't clear"

just imagining a closest with comic book sized money bags that says "JEOPARDY MONEY"

they were written with a ouija board and a rhyming dictionary (Neanderthal), Thursday, 6 January 2022 20:35 (two years ago) link

when I was a kid I always imagined they filled up a sack full of money for you on the way out. I was devastated to find out they didn't

frogbs, Thursday, 6 January 2022 20:35 (two years ago) link

i imagine you'd be lucky to get a check in six weeks. we have winners on this forum who could clarify though....?
