I love that commercial, but I do find myself wondering why they don't complain to the landlord about the noise upstairs.

There's this series of commercials for a tax preparer (can't remember which one) where the tax person and their desk goes to the client. In one of them, the client is a farmer who says, I think, "The profits from my wheat farm in Utah pay for my potato farm in Idaho", but the first time I saw it, I'd have sworn he said his WEED farm in Utah.

The only things I've actually watched him in were a couple of Scottish indie films, one where he played a sympathetic but slightly odd doctor and one incredibly weird film involving Vikings getting lost on the way to the Holy Land (I think - it was a pretty incomprehensible movie, and I'm not talking about the accents.) The concept of him playing a dumbass in comedies is amusing.

I immediately thought of this line from 1776: “In my many years, I have come to a conclusion that one useless man is a shame, two is a law firm, and three or more is a Congress.” I ran the song category. I also got Delta, jack and shipwrecks. Contestants are told before their games that if the host hasn't ruled your original answer incorrect yet, you can change it. Thus, if I had changed my stupid "a" to "the" before Alex said I was wrong, I'd have gotten credit for the very first clue I rang in on during my game. But I didn't, alas.

None of those thrill me, but I don't hate any of them right off the bat. I'll have to see how they do. Still hoping for Brad. For FJ, I said the Netherlands since I wasn't sure if Surinam was independent or not. Almost changed it to France. Oops.

I didn't dislike The Incredibles, but I didn't think it was all that either. There were some amusing bits, mostly early on, but it dragged.

And Nicolaj Coster-Waldau, so . . . Go, Denmark!

Austin sitting in the audience that one time was almost more of him than I could take.

I was yelling "Australian crawl". I thought of Koko, too, right after Lassie. The "long live" part gave me Viva Las Vegas. Didn't know that Las Vegas is Spanish for the meadows, but I do now. Oh dear god, that would be the end of Jeopardy for me! Of all the contestants who've annoyed me over the years, Austin is the worst. I could maybe stand James, at least for awhile, but I think Brad would be a natural at hosting.

Sorry, but no. Ken was okay but not great, and he was trying way too hard. He wasn't terrible, but he's not really a good choice for permanent replacement.

The Danes are a bit different, aren't they? :-D

I don't feel sorry for either of them. She's a famewhore and he's a raving loon when he's off his meds which is apparently all the time now. (I know he can't help having mental health issues, but he can take his meds.) I do feel sorry for the kids, though.

The tv show with Lynda Carter was originally set during WWII, so you're not completely crazy. Nope, I was doing it too. Has she been announced as a guest host? I hadn't seen that. Not sure how I feel about it.

It ran at the usual time last night for me. I got FJ, but at the very last second so I wouldn't have had time to write it down. I knew it wasn't 1917 because that was nominated for Oscars last year so it had to have come out in 2019. Not a fan of superhero movies, so Wonder Woman wasn't a big thing on my radar, but I had read a little about it. I got Atlantic, although it took me a second. Totally misunderstood the GQ category, so I got maybe one of those. Wrong war.

The actress who played Hamlet's mother in the Olivier version was younger than Olivier. Personally, I don't actually care about older men who date/marry much younger women nor do I care about older women who date/marry much younger men. As long as everyone involved is a consenting adult, and the relationship is non-abusive, it's fine with me.
