I wonder if this was the first time Michael Caine was mistaken for Mick Jaggar.

I wonder who would be more insulted? I'm betting on Caine.

I got FJ easily. Keaton=comedy, mentors a woman during her early career who is ultimately a TV Legend. I quickly wrote down Lucille Ball. After I wrote it, I did have a brief idea that perhaps it could have been Imogene Coca; similar age group, TV comedy legend, yet not as well-known nowadays, so I stuck with Lucy.

I got it though that math as well, but dithered wondering if Lucy was too young for Keaton to have been a factor in her life.

ETA: Michael Caine was beautiful when he was younger. The same cannot be said about Jagger.

Yes he was (Caine, not Jagger), but though Jagger wasn't beautiful, he was compelling in his own way.

Yesterday Mayim told one contestant's story completely before she let the contestant speak, then made the contestant repeat everything Mayim had already said. It was sad for me to see that player not be able to even tell her own story. I strongly dislike Mayim's faux interview skills and sitcom canned laughter at everything. 

Bugged me too. I felt angry for the contestant's sake.

Watched this just before Tuesday's Jeopardy, as we recorded Monday because of sportskball. 

I did well, an FJ and I ran at least one category (Knights - surprised me).

I don't remember the specifics though - much was pushed out by Tuesday night's game.

I thought FJ was very likely to be about Watergate when the category came up.  I almost talked myself out of the correct response because I thought it could be something one of Nixon's lawyers said instead of the man himself, but in lieu of any other hint in the clue, I decided to apply Occam's razor.

I said Nixon right away, but then debated whether it was one of his entourage. Fortunately, at that point my mind blanked, so Nixon it was.

Got FJ and Nixon was first to pop into my mind, but I was in h.s. in 1972.

Me too! I collected so many political cartoons about the investigation then. But when I found them many years later, I couldn't remember what the joke was for at least half of them.

In "the moral of the fable" category: Q: "Don't" do this was learned when an accident ruined a girl's plans for a poultry empire A: "(don't) count your chickens before they're hatched". I said "(don't) put all your eggs in one basket". Sigh. I guess that's a different fable??

I looked it up, it's not from a fable. Interestingly for Jeopardy fans, this particular phrase comes from Don Quixote.

Quote

This phrase was said to be first used in the novel “Don Quixote”, where it was written “It is the part of a wise man to keep himself today for tomorrow, and not venture all his eggs in one basket.”

Though after reading it, and having the kind of mind I have....well...

Two FJs in a row this week. That likely means I'll blank out on the rest of them.

[Driad]

Like some others, I was trying to think of which of Nixon's advisors might have said that, but then I remembered a former champ's advice to read children's nonfiction books, and went with Tricky himself.

Years ago I was to attend a dinner at which Henry Kissinger would be present. I tried to think of what to say if I were introduced to him, and decided against "I enjoyed your performance in Dr. Strangelove."

Oh, but how good that would have been until you were escorted out.

When I graduated from college, there was a reception where we were supposed to shake the hand of the Dean, who was problematic and infuriating (underplayed campus rapes - which were rampant that year). I refused to go to the reception line, and the head of my department was incensed. My final words to her were "I'm an adult  and have the right to do as I choose," and I walked away.  Easy to say and do when all the grades are in and I'm leaving campus. LOL.

I was in the hospital for over 2 weeks during the Watergate trials and watched it every day. I knew it was Nixon.

[proserpina65]

Monday was not a great night for me (for a lot of reasons, mostly personal).  I ran one category, Book Title References.  Although I would've run Knight After Knight if I hadn't said Jean Luc Picard instead of Patrick Stewart.  I did get the stumpers Death on the Nile, autocorrect, Public Enemy #1 and giant, but said Carol Burnett for FJ.  I figured that wasn't right, but I couldn't think of a physical comedienne of the appropriate era; I'm not a fan of Lucille Ball so she did not come to mind.  (And ugh, Jackie Fuchs made a Jeopardy clue.)

On 6/13/2022 at 7:04 PM, 853fisher said:

I thought "here are Arizona and New Mexico on a map, name 'em" was wildly overvalued at $1200

Me, too.

Tuesday wasn't much better.  Ran two categories, 5 For The Money and Songs Of Innocence & Experience.  Got more stumpers, though: Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, Yellowstone, Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, Ted Hughes, manatee, death and Pearl Jam.

I called Nixon as the answer to FJ as soon as I saw that 1972 was the category.

I'll miss Eric, but Megan made a great comeback late in DJ.  And I'll confess to wanting Barry to win just because I went to Towson back when it was still Towson State.  Not sure if he was there when I was, but I never took biology so I wouldn't have had him as a professor; it was cool to see someone from my alma mater anyway.

I was all set to criticize Mayim's pronunciation of Coleridge but a little googling told me that the Brits do pronounce it as three syllables rather than the two that all of my lit teachers/professors used, so good for her.  Me, I hated The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, so I try not to think of Coleridge unless absolutely necessary.

[Welshman in Ca]

I got FJ as Nixon was the only person I could think of but it more through not knowing anyone else from that time.

I ran a category for the first time in 2 weeks. Can anyone guess which one? 🤣

There are definitely sometimes that less knowledge serves.  Such as any time Babe Ruth is the answer to a baseball question and he's the only player you know.

I was a bit surprised two of them missed it, but I suppose they also thought it was too obvious.

They clearly thought the quote in the clue was said to Nixon instead of by him, which makes sense.  Not bad answers in that respect.

Who knew Americans pronounce "cuneiform" so weirdly?

I forget how Barry pronounced it, but to me it's always been "cue-nay-i-form" (one of my history professors must've said it that way).  I guess it's supposed to be more like "cue-nee-i-form".

Only three syllables in British English - queue knee form, stress on the queue (which now that I think about it makes sense given our penchant for joining any line we see).

The date of the break-in was June 17 (this Friday is the anniversary) so there are various Watergate related events going on this week. I meant that Colbert's choice of guests probably did not affect Jeopardy's choice of FJ or vice versa.

I got the TS of RSPCA, which I believe was the first clue, and surprised that none of them got it.

I think it's risky with that many words.  I said protection against instead of prevention of.

It's simple if you are familiar with the ASPCA. Just switch out American for Royal. So yeah, it being a TS surprised me -- and depressed me a little too.

For FJ, am I the only one who first thought Watergate because of how the clue was written, answers always come following "this." The clue: "In June he said, “Don’t lie to them to the extent to say there is no involvement, but just say this is… a comedy of errors.” It could have been worded, "In June, this man said..." to avoid that confusion that it seems only I had.

I did come back to Nixon, but some sloppy clue writing happens a bit often lately.

I don't think it was a sloppily written clue at all.  The 'this' was in quotes where as the 'he said' was not, clearly indicating to me that they wanted the he who said the quoted part.

[Browncoat]

Catching up from last night -- I knew the FJ clue would be about Watergate as soon as the category was revealed, since I knew it was the 50th anniversary of the break-in.  But as I had only just turned eight, I wasn't really tuned into all the proceedings.  Still, my initial guess was Nixon, then I waffled between him, John Dean, Haldeman, Erlichman, and Kissinger, before returning to Nixon and sticking with it.  Fun fact:  I've actually stayed at the Watergate hotel.  It was nice, but not worth the price.

I also got the TS of RSPCA, Yellowstone, Boba Fett, and manatee.  I might have eventually come up with Pearl Jam, but since I can't understand a word Eddie Vedder sings, I'm not familiar with the lyrics of most of their songs.  I think he has a great voice, but I have no idea what he's singing most of the time.

Tonight will be the last show I watch real time until July 4 -- I'm headed to Scotland tomorrow!  I'll keep up with FJ with the archive, but, if I post scores, it'll only be once a week.

[SoMuchTV]

Nobody’s posted this yet?

[853fisher]

I didn't know Evan Strong or Roy Campanella, but I knew Babe Didrikson Zaharias was an athlete in multiple sports.  That made me think the brand might not be a purveyor of a specific type of sports equipment.  My low level of sports history knowledge helped me in the end - I couldn't think of much else but Wheaties!

I'm surprised they don't do a quick retake when the end-of-round sound interrupts the host.  It doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things, but "and here's the final - BEE-BEE-BEE-BEE-BEEP - and that's all the time we have" just seems so sloppy.  I tend to assume this reflects something Mayim is doing differently, like not responding timely to a cue in her earpiece, because I don't recall Alex or Ken being cut off mid-sentence the way she has been a few times now.

[Quickbeam]

Hi….the 6/15/22 show was pre-empted here in southern WI for tornado and hail alerts. Can anyone recap for me? Thx! 

[JudyObscure]

"Broke barriers representing this brand," made me think like the other two, (the bat and the shoes) that the barriers were broken while using the brand.  I'd be miffed.

Here is the daily recap a user makes for Reddit.  You can also find the day's clues (sans videos and photos) here.  There were 13 wrong responses today so things were up and down a bit.  One of the challengers found all 3 DDs but only got 2 of them right, which definitely hurt him.  The returning champion had a strong back end of the game and entered FJ with just enough to make it a runaway.  She'll be back tomorrow.

[ams1001]

Ugh. Better than yesterday, is all I can say. And that's not saying much since yesterday was terrible.

Ran Body Parts in Latin, missed one (the $1000 clue...) each in Sticks & Stones, The Brady Bunch, and We're Full, two in Milwaukee, and, unsurprisingly, completely failed the sports teams category. In DJ the only category I ran was the one they didn't finish (Orphans in Books); missed two in the 5th Century and Getting W-R-M, four in Africa, and one each in State Flora and TV Monsters. No FJ; my mind went to sports companies so I said Nike just to have a guess. Can't remember the last time I had Wheaties...

Including the two missed DDs, there were 14 TSes, and 12 were in the second round (and three of them were in the top row). I got 10 of them - arm and Visigoths (DDs), plus palm, lichen, bristlecone pine, Cider House Rules, zombies, River Monsters, whipped cream, and waveform.

[DrSpaceman73]

This is the only eason I know Haldeman 

[Katy M]

I said Gatorade. Why?  Not sure.  I think the breaking barriers thing made me think of the Kool-Aid man breaking through things, but the answer wouldn't be Kool-Aid, so I said Gatorade.  

I got the missed clues of palm, lichen, visigoths, Shaolin, wolfram, zombies and The Cider House Rules.

I did really well (for me) in the first round and not too bad in the second. Stupid final had to ruin everything.

[Browncoat]

I said Nike for FJ, but knew it was wrong.  And I was doing so well this week!

TS I got include arm, palm, lichen, bristlecone, Visigoths, zombies, and Cider House Rules.  I hate John Irving, yet somehow have knowledge of his books.  Same with Steinbeck.

Gatorade isn't that old.  Came around in mid  to late 60s I think 

I got Wheaties only because babe didrickdon was a long time ago and Wheaties only company in sports around that long that made sense. Plus all different sports was a clue. 

[rubaco]

I was in another room at the time of the Beverly Cleary clue, but what was wrong with Ramona Quimby as the response? (And then I think just Ramona was accepted.)

[Miss Anne Thrope]

The clue referenced two Ramonas:  

This Beverly Cleary girl has a mom & dad; Helen Hunt Jackson's 1884 character of the same name does not.

Since the second person is "of the same name," I'd guess the specificity of the surname Quimby is what made it wrong. 

[Mindthinkr]

Tonight was ok. I got palm, the missed DD of Visigoths whipped cream, zombies, Cider House Rules, and Penny Dreadful. I couldn’t think of what tied the people in FJ together so I missed Wheaties. 

[kathyk24]

Someone from Massachusetts must have written today's clues. Larry Bird Tom Brady and the Mayflower were answers. I knew Wheaties even though I didn't know who Even Strong was.

[Bastet]

Archive game for me due to hockey preemption, so thankfully photo clues weren't an issue - I either didn't need them or they wouldn't have helped.

The palm TS surprised me, between Florida and an edible heart.  Whipped cream also surprised me at first, but now I think they all were trying to come up with a single word (since it was the first clue in the category).  I am surprised no one guessed zombies (I've never heard of the show, but mindless monsters at $400 had me pretty sure it was that simple).

I was off to a bad start, missing three in the first category, but other than that wound up doing well in the first round, only missing two other clues (one each in coaches and Bradys).

I didn't run a damn thing in DJ, though.  I got all but one each in Africa and "W-R-M", but missed two or three each in all the rest.

FJ wasn't an instaget, but it came to me quickly in thinking about what product features a variety of athletes.

[30 Helens]

I thought Wheaties, briefly switched to Nike, then went back to Wheaties. It was the most obvious answer that included athletes from different sports, and as we’ve learned recently (and Richard Nixon can attest), never discount the power of Occam’s Razor.

I see that @853fisher has already gotten you a helpful recap, but just for future reference if you miss an episode you can usually find a pretty good recording on YouTube the next day (I live in Germany, so that's the only way I can watch.)

Just type "Jeopardy June 15 2022" into the search bar, and make sure you pick a video that's roughly 19 minutes long (shorter ones suggest a couple clues have been edited out.)

Yes, You Tube is overall an excellent source of J! episodes you happen to miss. You don't even have to wait until the next day if you live in the U.S.. I think there are some rules about copyright, though, which would account for the missing clues. Last night I saw one that ended right before FJ! Fortunately there was another video. It's also possible to have some with weird angles, or sound going out during the FJ "think music", or strange inserts. Also beware of someone spoiling the result in the thumbnail or the description, although this hasn't happened lately.

protection against. But, if you ask my cat she might say I'm all for protecting cruelty.  After all, I refuse to get up at 4 in the morning to feed her, thus starving her to death (she must reanimate it so we can go through the dramatics the next morning).

[ABay]

It was always pronounced cue-nay-i-form in my art history and ancient history classes. Unless we resurrect a Sumerian and ask for a definitive pronunciation, we're all correct.

[illdoc]

Since so many seemed to not know who Evan Strong is (including me), I looked him up. He's a para snowboarder, who won gold in the para snowboard cross in the 2014 Olympics. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evan_Strong

I am glad Megan won again.

My ts's were palm, whipped cream, and River Monsters, plus the missed DD of Visigoths.

I came up with Wheaties right away but wasn't sure if that was the "brand" or if they wanted General Mills.  But I stayed with Wheaties so good for me.

I can certainly recall it happening to Alex a few times.  "And now the final-- [BOOP BOOP BOOP] --oh, we won't get to the final clue."  His wording may have been a bit smoother, but it certainly happened.

They try not to do retakes or edits unless it's an actual mistake of some kind.

[proserpina65]

That was a really underwhelming game last night.  None of the contestants were impressive.   The first round was okay but DJ was lousy.

I had a pretty good night.  I ran Milwaukee News, Sticks & Stones, Brady Bunch and Orphans In Books and almost ran most of the other categories.  And although I only got one stumper in the Jeopardy round (Dallas Mavericks), I cleaned up on the many, many stumpers in DJ: Visigoths, Shaolin Temple, Cider House Rules, lichen, palm, zombies, River Monsters and whipped cream.  And there were still 4 DJ stumpers I didn't get - that shows how bad that round was.

Weird coincidence, I have a cousin who is a lichenologist.

Oh, and Mayim, Scone is pronounced "Scoon" when referring to the Stone of Destiny because that is how the name of the Scottish village & palace where it was kept for more than 4 centuries is pronounced.  Although many people don't know that.  Still, you'd think the correct pronunciation would be on the card.

Edited to note that I did not get FJ, although in retrospect Wheaties made perfect sense.  I said Adidas but I didn't think that was right.

I feel like she pronounces a lot of words incorrectly but put it down to my being Welsh and not the brightest bulb in the box rather than her, maybe it's not me after all.
