Please bring on “Jeopardy James” and get rid of Ken Jennings. James would be a great asset to the show. Maybe even take over as host in the far future 🙂
I don’t think that James would resonate with Jeopardy’s audience.
Andy, I agree. I just don’t see how his personality would work for the show.
I also prefer Ken. No question James is a very strong player, but I agree his personality is lacking.
I know that Ken was crowned the Greatest of All Time last year, and I know he’s giving some clues himself, but I would also like to see either James or Brad give some clues also. All three of them were amazing players, and I’m sure those two are jealous about Ken.
I don’t know why so many people are obsessed with the idea that the future host should come from the pool of championship contestants when there are many people with hosting and broadcasting qualifications out there.
Well crap. Breaking news (that literally had no need to be breaking lol) cut off just before FJ happened. What time do you post the winner?
You must be in Texas
Hehe Yes.
Jeopardy! is often preempted, here in Los Angeles, but they usually leave Wheel of Fortune alone.
Unfortunate timing—but it’s completely classless to claim it wasn’t significant enough to break into Jeopardy.
So tired of Breaking News events during Jeopardy!
For the second day in a row, the leader entering FJ writes & crosses out the right answer, but this time it costs the win!
Looks like quite a competitive contest, with all 3 @ $13k Coryat and above!
Not quite. I’m pretty sure that Joe is shown as the leader going into Final?
He was in the lead, but he didn’t wager enough to cover Beth. If she had stayed with her original answer, she would have won the game.
I don’t understand Joe’s wager. It didn’t block Beth by getting it right.
Yeah, Joe’s wager made no sense at all.
Beth and David’s wagers were odd too.
I second-guessed myself like Beth and went with Picasso instead of Rivera. I was so close to tying my streak of 19 correct FJs (regular games only). This streak ends at 17.
I’m surprised Joe didn’t risk much in his Final Jeopardy response (had Beth got it right and risked everything).
Where does David’s one-and-done winnings of $4,977 rank? I know that there have been $1 daily champions before, but some of them won two or more games.
So Joe Velasco won on September 17th… but on the September 18th show our local channel ran and old Jeopardy… What happened?… our local channel is NBC Palm Springs.
Sounds like your local station played the wrong episode. You’ll need to contact them.
