A boycott of the next Tournament of Champions is forthcoming.
13-day champion Ray Lalonde announced his boycott this afternoon on Reddit. Lalonde, a union member, has decided that it is inappropriate of him to cross a WGA picket line to compete in a Tournament.
Lalonde said:
There are now credible reports that the producers are making contingency plans to start filming the next season of the show with old and/or recycled material if the WGA strike remains unresolved.I am a lifelong devoted fan of Jeopardy!. I am and will always be grateful for the experience I had on the show and the opportunity to participate in the TOC is beyond a dream come true for me. That being said, I believe that the show’s writers are a vital part of the show and they are justified in taking their job action to secure a fair contract for themselves and their fellow WGA members. As a supporter of the trade union movement, a union member’s son and a proud union member myself I have informed the show’s producers that if the strike remains unresolved I will not cross a picket line to play in the Tournament of Champions.My hope in saying this publicly now is to perhaps influence some future decision to proceed without the writers and to encourage any others in the community who feel the same way to speak out as well. A few small voices may not change any minds but we can try.
The boycott was later joined in the Reddit thread’s comments by top seed Cris Pannullo, third seed Ben Chan, and fourth seed Hannah Wilson. (Edit: Since this article was published, sixth seed Troy Meyer has now also joined in solidarity.)
The Writers Guild of America has been on strike since May 2nd. As a reminder, only the WGA considers Jeopardy! to be a struck production right now; the show falls under SAG-AFTRA’s Network Code, which is not under strike at the moment.
Editorially: I can’t see how the show can proceed with holding the Tournament of Champions if the writers are still on strike, now with the top four seeds standing in solidarity. Certainly attempting to run a Tournament of Champions with the top players missing would absolutely cheapen any title awarded. It will be interesting to see how Sony Pictures TV (and Sony itself) responds. Solidarity with the WGA.
Update: On July 25, 2023, Jeopardy! issued the following statement to The Hollywood Reporter:
Jeopardy!never had any intention of producing a Tournament of Champions for season 39 until the strike is resolved. Further, no contestants from season 39 have been contacted regarding their availability for any postseason tournaments, including the TOC. TheJeopardy!postseason represents the pinnacle of our competition, and it should feature our strongest players playing our toughest original material.Jeopardy!has a long history with and tremendous respect for the WGA and our writers. We have always been careful to honor our WGA agreements and we would never air game material not created by WGA writers. However, just as we did, led by Alex Trebek, during the 2007-2008 strike, we will deliver first-run episodes again this fall to more than 200 affiliate stations nationwide. Our current plan is to go into a holding pattern of sorts, pushing back the season 39 postseason to first produce original episodes featuring the best of our WGA written material. Everyone atJeopardy!hopes that the guilds and the AMPTP can reach a fair resolution quickly.Celebrity Jeopardy!will return on ABC this fall with original material written by WGA writers before the strike.Jeopardy!andCelebrity Jeopardy!are covered under the SAG-AFTRA Network Code, which remains in effect.
