What happened to the January 29, 2016 online test for Jeopardy??? When myself and many others attempted to take the test your website shut me out and wouldn’t allow me to test?? I registered and did all the requirements that Jeopardy said for us to do before taking the online test? We are nightly viewers of Jeopardy and I have waited a year to take this test??
Todd:
This is a fan site. I have nothing to do with the online testing. That said – it was the 26th through 28th, not the 29th.

Who would I email to ask about the issue of the online testing problem on January 28th? Others had the same problem with the testing website?
Thank You!
I don’t know the specific email account (I’m sorry; I didn’t pay attention to it as I wasn’t testing this year) but it was posted to the show’s Facebook page.
