Toothbrush October 19, 2017 Share October 19, 2017 Thanks for the link, trow 125. I really liked Fran but was rooting for Carlos since we are both from NOLA. That was a crazy finish! Glad to have my hunch that Fran is transgendered confirmed. Not that it makes a difference, but Dr. Toothbrush was on the fence, so now we know. She seems like a lot of fun. 2 Link to comment

CarpeDiem54 December 22, 2017 Share December 22, 2017 My sister and BIL are avid Jeopardy! fans. My BIL is career Army. Apparently he yelled, "Alex, you're lucky she didn't kick your ass or make you drop and do 50!" at his comment. 6 Link to comment

BuckeyeLou January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 Don't know if this has been posted elsewhere, but Alex Trebek had surgery over Christmas break, he had a blood clot on the brain, caused by a fall he had taken in October. After surgery, he is recuperating at home, and will resume taping "soon". The only change in the schedule will be moving College Championship to April. Sounds scary, but in the taped interview, Alex looked good. 3 Link to comment

rubaco January 5, 2018 Share January 5, 2018 I sort of wish they'd use this opportunity to let Ken Jennings guest-host, just to see how he'd do. I'll never give up on my dream of him being Alex's successor. 8 Link to comment

Sure, he drives me nuts, but there is no way Survivor would be my favorite without him. I don’t want Alex to get any older! I would love Ken as host too but I’m not ready for that yet. 2 Link to comment

He's in amazing shape for 77, but he's still 77.

Tunia February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 (edited) It really caught my eye tonight that there were several clues that were not shown on the board, rather they were superimposed over the contestant shot like the FJ. Is that something new, or have I been oblivious all this time? ETA: Meant to post in Episode thread, but thanks, Browncoat, for responding and clarifying. I'm a regular J! watcher, but tonight it absolutely jumped out at me. Edited February 6, 2018 by Tunia 1 Link to comment
Browncoat February 6, 2018 Share February 6, 2018 They do that sometimes when someone other than Alex reads the clue, particularly if they don't have (or don't want to show) video of the clue reader. In this case, the people reading the memoirs were the authors of said memoirs. Video would have made the clues to easy. The voices were helpful enough. 3 Link to comment
Moose135 February 22, 2018 Share February 22, 2018 (edited) I wonder if he will use any silly accents when he asks questions... He'll Take 'Gubernatorial Debate' For 400: Trebek Tries Out Moderator's Chair If the answer is, "This longtime Jeopardy! host has been chosen to moderate a Pennsylvania gubernatorial debate this fall," then the question is, "Who is Alex Trebek?" According to the Philadelphia Inquirer, the popular quiz show host will question incumbent Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf and the winner of the GOP primary during a 45-minute debate on Oct. 1 hosted by the Pennsylvania Chamber of Business and Industry during its annual dinner. "Although candidates won't answer in the form of questions, they will share their perspectives on job creation, fiscal policy, reasonable regulatory oversight and more," the chamber told The Hill.

So we should be seeing the new Alex any day now. Link to comment
Prevailing Wind March 28, 2018 Share March 28, 2018 Oh, OK - sort of answers my question in the show thread. I'm thinking that his hair looks different this week, more on his forehead than usual. Toup? Although, he IS a TV Star and we all know brain surgery on TV never needs a shaved head. 2 Link to comment
ProudMary March 29, 2018 Share March 29, 2018 Eric Trump mocked for sharing Jeopardy! clue about himself and Jared Kushner Quote "Eric Trump to Jared Kushner", it stated. Alongside the image, Mr Trump wrote: "Always fun being a Jeopardy question," before going on to answer it in the form of a question. "Who is brother in law?" Twitter users quickly lampooned Mr Trump, replying with their own Jeopardy! style questions. Examples of Twitter responses can be found at the link. Dimitri, who answered the clue correctly, had his own response to Trump's tweet. Wow. 15 Link to comment

Prevailing Wind March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 If the responses were, say, mother & son, shouldn't the Trump/Kushner response be brotherS in law, to encompass both of 'em? And "What" not "Who." 2 Link to comment
peeayebee March 30, 2018 Share March 30, 2018 It was "Eric Trump to Jared Kushner," so it's referring to Eric Trump, i.e., who is he to Jared. If it was "Carrie Fisher to Debbie Reynolds," the answer would be What is daughter. One of the contestants got confused on another clue (or was simply guessing wrong) about who was the mother and who the daughter. I agree that it should have been "What" not "Who." I often think the contestants use the wrong question word. Link to comment

I was trying to say that any of the other responses were actually TWO relations - mother vs daughter, etc., so the Trump/Kushner response should have been "brother" pluralized with the "in-law" added after the S in brothers.

peeayebee March 31, 2018 Share March 31, 2018 I don't think so, if I understand what you're saying. Again, it's just Eric Trump that the clue was asking about, not both of them. In my example, it's just Carrie Fisher the clue is asking about, not Debbie Reynolds, so the answer would be "What is daughter." If the clue were "Carrie Fisher AND Debbie Reynolds," then the answer would be "What is daughter and mother." 1 Link to comment

No, all the clues sought who one person was in relation to the other person, not who they were to each other. So the answers were "mother," "nephew," etc. and thus "brother-in-law," not "brothers-in-law." Edited March 31, 2018 by Bastet 2 Link to comment
