JEOPARDY #45 CHEERS!

I couldn't believe none of them guessed Cheers. M*A*S*H* with a seating capacity??

oUT OF the four people I text watch with i wass the only one who got it right. I thought it was easy as fuck. One guessed SNL and I went wobbly for a second but stuck with Cheers. I thought it was an easy question.

I doubt they watch M*A*S*H anymore than Cheers was brought to mind.

Who told the fat gal to wear stripes? Man some of her answers made me laugh pretty hard.

March Madness will soon be screwing up Eastern time viewership. Sigh.

I first thought "Alice" but figured that Mel's Diner only served about 50 people. I then thought of "Cheers" and was correct.

I wrote the last comment on the previous thread, damn, I feel old.

Knew it was Cheers right away.

Yes, heard the answer and thought they'd all get the question right.

Adam reminds me of the husband in the famous 1434 painting The Anolfini Marriage.

Anyone remember this guy?

Economics.

IT'S BEEN ESTABLISHED!

Mister Burns coming on strong for double jeopardys.

Poor Gollum. A few more answers and he would have won the game.

I was really rooting for the 2 challengers. Liked them both.

I don't think our current champ has ever gotten FJ right.

Which network, R5?

CBS is the network.

Jeopardy airs on different channels due to syndication.

The show airs on CBS here for me so I will be affected.

And this week’s most beautiful challengers are on today and tomorrow 😩! I just know Alex is going to finally flame out this evening and I’ll never get to see it 😡. 😤

I don't think tonight's challenger looks all that sexy.

R17 New Englanders can view Jeopardy on WSKB (channel 38).

It's been a while since there was a female champion. "I'll take gynecological exams for $2,000 Ken"

I observed that as well, R21. I’ve been seeing all the women contestants get defeated pretty badly. Sad. 😞

Alex seemed to finally fall into his shirts that are too big for him tonight.

Knew Final before Ken finished reading the question.

Damn, first show missed.

I hope all Texas teams lose.

Mmmmmmm..........Steve Luck! Let's hope he's smart enough to stick around for a while.

and.....he wasn't quite.

Tough final!

Loved that cute Mustafa! Wish he'd won. I hope they give him a second chance.

My husband got FJ immediately. I had no clue.

Is Mustafa traditionally pronounced with a stress on the first syllable? I'd always thought it was on the second.

I woulda gove the lady “ursa” for bear. I clicked my tongue and said “no fair!” Then Ken turns around and gifts Mustafa with like 4,000 bucks. I think Jeopardy has a bias against ladies.

No idea on FJ. Sad that the lady got it right and still lost.

Phoenix!! Who would’ve thunk?

Crazily I said Barrymore like the current champ.

Newman was pretty funny.

Final today was EEE-ZZZ.

I guessed orioles for Final, not obvious to me.

As a geezer, I associate Conchata Ferrell with the 70s television show Hot L Baltimore.

Yes, R34, very easy.

The Monarch Butterflies.

Beautiful creatures. I remember there was a time where the Mexican authorities would NOT reveal the exact location of their sanctuary for fear of people/tourists destroying the ecology.

It was on ‘The Amazing Race’ last season.

I can't bear the champ and want to see him gone.

Not much excitement onstage for a long time.

I guessed Final correctly. Not a fan of the woman, so pleased the champ continues.

No idea about FJ. Was only half-way paying attention. The contestants were struggling.

The current winner got very lucky.

I knew FJ but couldn't think of the character's name, could only come up with...Charles Laughton.

I thought of Bligh right away. I believe it was worded differently in another clue sometime back, otherwise I have no idea how it came to me so easily.

I thought of Bligh right away too, but thought he was a fictional character.

If is there anyway to watch Jeopardy without Sling or cable?

Do you have a tv with no cable attached?

Get an antenna, yes a rabbit ear antenna or whatever one you can find, tune in to the local channels and one of the big 4 networks has to have the show in syndication.

We actually have a flat square thing that tunes in the local broadcasts. We actually get about 15 or 20 channels. We live near the border so the antenna picks up many Mexican stations.

I immediately thought of Captain Bligh, but thought he was only conected to the Bounty. Only other captain from that era I could think of was Captain James Cook, but the ship name sounded wrong.

I was rooting for Melanie. I'm tired of Josh and his firmly closed mouth when hen he's supposedly smiling. Looks like he's hiding something.

Josh is irritating.

I guessed Bligh only because Bounty-related topics pop up frequently on the show.

Jeopardy Masters line up announced.

The tournament, airing in primetime on ABC, not in syndicate, starts on April 30.

This years Masters will have nine contestants, instead of the six that were in previous years. Contestants are:

Victoria Groce, last year's Masters champion

Yogesh Raut, 2024 Tournament of Champions winner,

Neilesh Vinjamuri, 2025 Tournament of Champions winner

Adriana Harmeyer, TOC finalist

Isaac Hirsch, TOC finalist

Matt Amodio, past champ and Jeopardy Invitational Tournament winner

Roger Craig, past champ and JIT finalist

Juveria Zaheer, JIT finalist

Brad Rutter, past champ,

This Masters is also notable for the contestants not playing -- James Holzhauer and Mattea Roach -- both of whom were in the two previous Masters tournaments.

I'd have to see photos to recognize most of the names announced for that tournament. I can only picture Matt and Juveria though Yogesh and Neilesh sound familiar.

What's become of Cris Panullo? Why is he never invited back for these tournaments?

Though Josh seems unpopular here, I don't mind him. Didn't get final, but knew some they didn't.

None of the above names interest me, except Brad Rutter.

I weary of the tourneys. This current bald champ is really on a roll. He just qualified for the-sigh-tourney.

[quote]What's become of Cris Panullo? Why is he never invited back for these tournaments?

Maybe he has been invited back, but declined. Or maybe he has scheduling conflicts.

I eventually got the the Trevi Fountain for Final, but took me a while to get there.

Ken ruled incorrectly on the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil clue. David did NOT say "into." I rewound my DVR multiple times. David clearly said "in."

I wondered about that ruling, too, r56. I was sure Ken would come back with a correction, but it never happened.

So. Over. Josh.

So Josh keeps winning? Another damn Thursday of the ncaa tournament, Friday also 🙄

[quote]I was sure Ken would come back with a correction, but it never happened.

I kept waiting for that as well.

Josh gives off Republican vibes. Not MAGA, just the pre-MAGA kind.

[QUOTE] Ken ruled incorrectly on the Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil clue. David did NOT say "into." I rewound my DVR multiple times. David clearly said "in."

That was really unfair to that contestant. David absolutely did not say “into” (I rewound a couple of times too in order to make sure).

Oh god. We’ll see Josh again after he loses? He’s annoying.

Tonight, the bearded guy clearly said Forester, yet Ken accepted that response.

The show is really starting to suck. I hate the word puzzle (anagrams, etc) categories and all these tournaments. I think the writing quality is declining.

Alex, come back!

Giveaway final, knew it immediately ... unlike them.

I’m watching on YouTube. Why do they distort the picture for the final?

They all do that. My guess is it has something to do with the copyright.

New champ! And a gorgeous one at that.

Gorgeous? I wouldn't go that far. Cute ... maybe.

Gorgeous? Cute??

Are you out of your minds?

Nevertheless, glad he won. I was sick of that champ 5 games ago.

I was rooting for the lady. Was she a Brit? I sort of missed the intros.

Allison looked very sad when Ken read Final. She played real well.

Tonight's champ looks Amish-adjacent. Maybe Mennonite Brethren.

Thank god! A new less annoying champ!

Everyone seems to assume Ken makes the rulings by himself. If he is unsure, doesn’t he get the ruling from the judges? I always assumed that what the reason for the momentary pause when Mayim Bialik was hosting—that she was checking with the judges on every answer.

I thought that, too. R75. Was turned off by the cross the woman, with the accent, seemed to be wearing; her origins not discussed during interview, just an awkward but on her fountain pen collection.

I guessed Final correctly, but wasn't very confident.

Finally, we're rid of Josh.

I was rooting for Allison to win. She was good. I suspect she'll be invited back for Second Chances.

Didn't especially like Bryce, but he was a good player.

Had no idea on Final.

[QUOTE] Allison looked very sad when Ken read Final. She played real well.

I loved her handwriting too.

Josh will get quickly smacked down in tournaments. He never really had strong competition, even in his losing game yesterday.

Seemed odd/sad that Allison couldn't come up with anything at all for FJ. I guessed Morse Code, knowing it was probably wrong.

Bryce would've done better, obvious his buzzer skills were a problem more than knowledge.

Poor (cute) Conner!

Well, FJ was sort of easy, I guess?

If you know the cities in Italy? I said Milan because it was the other large city in northern Italy.

Poor middle dude couldn’t get out of the hole.

I said “Yosemite”. I never cared for “The Godfather” anyway.

I guessed Yosemite. I never cared for The Godfather anyway. The Asian girl seemed sweet.

Oopsie poopsie!

Ridic easy FJ.

That was a final Jeopardy question????? What has happened to my show??

I thought it was kind of mean when Ken went after the Asian guy from Washington State for not getting the Nirvana clue.

I liked Alfred, but he just couldn't manage it, sadly. Did champ say his school was in India?

I was also rooting for Alfred (actually liked the lady, too) but I do like our current champ. It was a good game.

Clearly none of them were up on their Broadway/film musicals knowledge which would have paid off in FJ, too.

I thought about Hobbits but didn’t think that was right.

I like the lady in the middle.

Boq is a major character (well....a supporting character) in the musical Wicked.

FJ was insanely easy for anyone who is familiar with Wicked. I knew they were all going to choose Lilliputians as their answer and be wrong.

Guy from West Hollywood is gorgeous!

I guess Bryce's newly revealed Lord and Saviour wasn't gonna save him today.

Funny how everybody's eyes suddenly glazed over.

Yeah, when they make a profession of faith, as another guy did a few months ago, it gets annoying.

Bryce was quite upset that he didn’t win.

Wasn't this the game that would have qualified Bryce for future tournaments, had he won?

My mother, brother and I groaned in unison on that, R98. Gorgeous is in the eye of the beholder, I guess, R97. New champ who dates women pinged loudly to me. Guessed physics as a tossup with chemistry.

So, was Bryce off his game tonight? Or did he just finally have some real competition?

West Hollywood guy was gorgeous?

I enjoyed the game, it was competitive and alas, they all are not.

I guessed chemistry. It was either that or physics, but it wasn’t physics.

All three contestants were homely and fat.

I think Ken practically jinxed Bryce by saying that he was headed for TOC.

Bryce was probably off his game because he had to stand next to a homosexual.

He certainly was dejected at having lost. But we’re lucky we don’t have to endure him anymore.

Actually, Bryce appeared to very graciously congratulate both of the other players on a good game as they went into FJ.

I'm sure Bryce is a nice person, R109, as many fundies can be on the surface. I liked his joke about his military school alums not necessarily approving that day's flowered tie.

"West Hollywood guy" Guy Branum is really funny. He's been a contestant on @fter Midnight a few times.

[quote] Guy from West Hollywood is gorgeous!

That's a joke, right?

Yes, but I think Guy is in on it.

I’m crushing hard on broad shouldered nudist Mike!

I questioned that ruling that Queen Anne is the same style as Victorian architecture.

R115: agreed! How the hell is that the same thing?

I knew it was the Drums Along the Mohawk guy, but couldn't think of his name.

Ugh, for the last time this year, preempted for the freaking basketball game. 🙄🙄🙄

R114 When Mike is nude his belly hangs over so far you can't see his pee-pee.

Has there ever been an instance where multiple viewers of the show wrote in questioning a ruling and it was changed?

It wasn't the "Drums Along the Mohawk" guy ((Walter Edmonds). It was James Fenimore Cooper.

The Last of the Mohicans Cooper

Thanks for clearing up my author confusion. I was thinking of Cooper and the era and setting, but wrong book on that. Had not heard name Walter Edmonds until now.

I instantly knew it was James Fenimore Cooper for FINAL.

Mike is tall and large. He said he was 6'7". Wonder how much he weights. I'd guess he's topping 300 pounds.

And Edmonds was a 20th c. writer.

Hooray for Hollywood!

Poor cute Joe! Cumberland Road seemed a give-away to me.

Has it already been commented that current champ is the spitting image of Rachel Dratch? Because he really, really is.

I'm a few days behind and it appears he has lost already, but I finally figured out who Bryce reminds me of: Dwight's Cousin Mose on "The Office."

I'm so glad the big ugly dude lost tonight. I couldn't stomach looking at his smug dumb fuck face one day more.

Love the new champ! Hope he sticks around for a while.

I guessed Easter Island for FJ. I was so off. But better than the new champ's Mt. Rushmore. WTF, was he kidding because he knew he'd win no matter what?

I found Dave hot, but guess it wasn't meant to be.

Guessed Final correctly, though seemed too obvious.

FJ was easy! Really surprised hot Dave and the sweet girl missed it. I wonder if they've ever spent much time in London.

Hot Dave needed a better wardrobe.

I actually did think of the Victoria and Albert museum right away but it seemed the too obvious choice.

To tell the truth, that’s probably the only museum name from England that I know. 😛

I thought of Victoria and Albert and probably would have given it as an answer, because the question implied a double name museum, even though I was sure it was wrong—Victoria and Albert were married, not cousins. I did not know they were first cousins, too!

Victoria was related to virtually every royal noble throughout Europe.

Good game tonight, three good players. I like it.

Hate contestants who make the sign of the cross when they win. Jesus had nothing to do with it.

He’s very Catholic. I thought it was charming that he wanted to use his winnings to go see a German Passion play. I mean, we get it, you’re Catholic! I haven’t seen anyone make such a fuss of the fact in ages. Though we have had our share of churchy champs as of late.

Great game. I was rooting for Stephanie, but she’ll no doubt be back for Second Chances.

Final was incredibly easy.

Arrietty may have been robbed but I'm absolutely fine with that.

Oh. Oops. ;)

I knew FJ was the twins portrayed by the late great Armie Hammer in that Jesse Eisenberg movie about Facebook, but I never could have come up with their crazy surname.

Another reason to like Ken Jennings ... he's a Progressive. Wasn't expecting that knowing he's Mormon.

Is Mormon Ken like Patriarch Smith, President Oaks, Bishop Angus, or Brother Calhoun?

Who was giving the Mary Todd Lincoln clues?

I want Kyle inside me - quite deeply.

I could bear a Tournament of Champions with a heavy dose of Kyle!

I was rooting for hunky Kyle, a man in a baggy shirt whose magnificent physique, nonetheless, comes through. Plus, he seemed very sweet and smart.

And I also guessed Heller for FJ. Once I had that name, I couldn't seem to open up my brain to the more obvious and correct response.

Can't imagine what the TV audience in Flyoverland must have made of Cole Escola.

That probably means you’re romantically compatible, r149. I guessed Vonnegut right away:(

Tituss Burgess according to my laptop, r146.

[quote]Who was giving the Mary Todd Lincoln clues?

Cole Escola, who created and stars in the now on-Broadway play “Oh, Mary”…

I think a lot of flyovers are buying tickets to see Oh, Mary!

Cole is incredible in Oh, Mary! and should (and will) the Tony this year. The original cast is back in the show now and I’m tempted to see it again.

Kyle was a hunk!

R146 She was hilarious.

I wonder if the Jeopardy producers were just hoping that the viewers who might have found Cole's portrayal of Mary Todd Lincoln distasteful just assumed she was some homely NY actress.

All I could think of for Final was Hemingway during the Spanish Civil War? Cole and Kyle were both excellent!

There was one clue where Cole (as Mary Todd) added “…right?” at the end that just had me howling. It instantly took me back to seeing their play last fall.

R159 - I wish I had seen "Oh, Mary!" when it was downtown or when it first opened or with Cole. I saw the show with Titus Burgess and while I enjoyed myself a lot (the guy who played Booth was my favorite in the cast), Burgess did nothing for me.

Stunt casting at its most egregious.

Why was Kyle from San Antonio wearing all those clothes??

I kept picturing what Kyle’s cock might look like.

Wait, the person playing Mary Todd Lincoln was an actor, not an actress??

Holy shit, had no idea! She seemed kind of brusque and looked like she could kick your ass. 😳

I thought Hemingway as well. I knew he had been in some war but had no idea which one.

The All New Jeopardy! – Full Unsold CBS Pilot (MARCH 1977)

And today’s crop of dudes were nothing to sneeze at neither!

I thought today's 3 dudes were all very handsome. Maybe not hunks....but handsome. And smart. Good close game!

I had no idea of FJ. Don't even get how Andrew could have guessed it correctly as the clue confused me as to what they were looking for.

I thought that Ken had cursed yet another contestant by mentioning he was close to qualifying for the tournament.

He got lucky again.

I was kinda close guessing the Book Depository in Dallas. Hate these steamroller nights!

I guessed The Brill Building for FJ. Boy, was I off! I knew it didn't have any sort of political connections but couldn't think of another music building of note.

Andrew the champ is a very steady, well-rounded player. And he knows how important it is to search out those DDs.

Where is our very own "Johnny Gilbert"? Seems like he hasn't posted here in months.

R170 Good! I hope he stays away. He’s an asshole.

Absolutely no idea about FJ.

I didn’t understand half of the clues tonight, they were so poorly worded or conceived.

No comments on the gorgeous guy on the right??

I agree with both r173 and r174!

They kee[,doing those ridiculous categories with that mash up thing. Before and after or whatever.

So fucking lame.

Guessed Tarzan for Final. Orange sweater with red tie didn't work.

So excited a contestant from Hilliard won!

Had NO idea of FJ.

Unbelievable to me how they'd made the Dr. Dolittle connection!

I have a feeling we're going to be with this new champ for a long time. He's like a machine.

NuChamp can go away tomorrow. Irritating as fuck.

At least he qualified for the tournament.

That new guy was en fuego 🔥

I figured little smarty boots would prevail. So much for being a ceremonial Ohio State marching band “I” dotter.

I actually got the Lorraine Motel, but then I’ve been there.

I like Liam.

Reminds me of Wolf Legrand's "youthful" co-star, Austin Young.

So glad the little homosexual boy Liam won.

He seems robotic.

He’s a true hero. His baby picture has been in space! So bite me, Gayle!

The new champ spoke soooo slowly. I thought they’d have a lot of unanswered questions (unquestioned answers?) because if how long it took him to chose a category.

Liam is like a mini Sheldon.

He’s weird, but in a cute way.

Yay Liam!!! What a cute nerd. Young Sheldon indeed, he must hear that constantly. I thought we'd be stuck with yesterday's dull champ for days on end.

What a strange game. 3 very strong players who got so many difficult clues and scored lots of cash yet so many clues went without any responses.

The kid, Junior has a funhouse mirror body.

Liam is A.I. generated.

Little Liam.

Hot pepper pants is a stah!

I call Liam "Sheldon."

Lucked out on the easy Biafra DD to me. Poor Bob and his Brazil means another day of this.

Shut up. We love Liam!

Liam is a Datalounger.

Liam has grown on me. Glad he won.

Was thinking Paraguay for FJ for its landlocked central position in South America but thought, it couldn't be, surely 27 different languages aren't spoken there?! Thought it must be some obscure tiny country in Central America with Spanish, French, Dutch, German history.

So, I was very surprised to hear it was Bolivia.

GO LIAM! Hope he sticks around for a while.

I want to jerk Liam off.

Weird watching Sheldon Cooper play Jeopardy.

Kyle was a cute tall glass of water, but he couldn't beat Liam.

Shocking that Liam couldn't put together Dog Day Afternoon and Al Pacino. He really is young.

I'm rooting for Liam to keep going.

I would never have taken Liam for a big sports fan but he did well in that category.

He's 25 years old.

This says he’s 20 which fits with being born during Ken Jenning’s initial run in 2004.

Austin Young is roughly that age, too, if I recall correctly. It's implied in his roles that he's roughly a decade younger.

I thought Liam was younger than 25. Is he considered moderately autistic? He never smiles or laughs. Doesn't shake other players hands or even look at them after the game ends. Definitely interesting to observe.

[quote] Is he considered moderately autistic? He never smiles or laughs. Doesn't shake other players hands or even look at them after the game ends. Definitely interesting to observe.

It's clear he is autistic, but we don't know what form of autism he has. You'd have to ask him to get his exact diagnosis.

There are so many different forms and degrees of autism these days. Dozens and dozens more than existed 25 or 30 years ago.

Liam is certainly not the first autistic person to become a Jeopardy champion. But does seem to have a more pronounced form of autism than previous winners. Or at least its much more evident due to the lack of smiling or laughter and total stiffness while standing at the podium.

Maybe Liam is just.....shy??

He CAN’T be autistic. They will never be on Jeopardy!

[quote]Maybe Liam is just.....shy??

Get your eyes examined. That's not shy. That's autistic.

Awwww Liam was so cute tonight.

And Ken confirmed that Liam is 20 years old

Is it my imagination, or is Ken rooting for Liam?

What a meta episode. Everyone misses “Who is Sheldon Cooper?” and the contender picks “Pour Decisions” after missing a true Daily Double.

r218, no it's not your imagination. I see it as well.

I guessed the Darien Gap of the Pan-American Highway.

Yay, Liam. Whew.

That was a really tricky Final Jeopardy.

Awww I’m totally rooting for Liam.

I think posters claiming Liam is autistic are very unfamiliar with this youngest generation (whatever they're calling themselves). From my observations of today's teenagers and 20-somethings, I'd say that "awkwardness" of Liam's is as common amongst his peers as not. Especially in adult situations, like a nationally shot tv program format.

Liam is an undergraduate, majoring in Data Science at the University of Chicago. That explains everything, both about his range and breadth of information and his ASD style of communication and presentation. I think he’s kind of adorkable. He’s probably the life of the party in Hyde Park at the school “where fun goes to die.”

He's not just awkward; I'm diagnosing spectrum here.

Absolutely. He has no reactions to Ken’s jokes because he can’t recognize humor.

Middle contender lady looked like Lumpy from Leave It To Beaver.

He’s totally adorable!

He looks so, so much like Jim it’s not even funny.

He looks elfin.

Great game tonight. I kinda hated the uber aggressive lady, though.

She was in it to win it, that's for sure. She was crestfallen when she missed Final Jep.

Liam’s shock at winning was his first genuine display of emotion we’ve seen.

I knew from the clue and date that Final had something to do with the League of Nations, but wasn’t sure exactly what. Imagine my surprise that the correct answer was League of Nations.

Agreed, R231. She was jamming on that buzzer.

She lost her mojo when she foolishly and needlessly bet it all on that early DJ and guessed wrong.

It's going to take quite the charming (or hot) contender to capture our DL hearts away from Liam.

1-I'm glad Kyle lost. I have a problem with contestants who can't stand still and shift their weight from one leg to the other constantly. If anybody were viewing this ep on a CRT-type TV, I suspect he would be swaying off the screen much of the time.

2-Liam's ignorant FJ answer of the Golden Gate Bridge was quite stupid. The GGB dates from 1937, not 1919. Aside from his resemblance to Sheldon, does he ACT like him? That was one of the main themes of BBT: geniuses are difficult to be around.

Well, I guessed the Brooklyn Bridge. The wording was sus, especially since everybody guessed a bridge of some sort. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m embarrassed to say that I guessed “The Alamo.”

I did get ear bandage the other day though! And James Fenimore Cooper whenever that was.

Liam continues.

Churchill???

Yeah, that was a real wild guess.

I really don't get how Liam or anyone could come up with Columbus when the only specific hint in the clue was Granada. Am I right? Was there something else that would lead you to Columbus? I thought the "event" inferred would be a war or battle, not an exploration.

Anyway, once again VERY impressed with Liam.

I guessed King Ferdinand not realizing Italian Columbus had fought for Spain before being hired to explore. Grenada was 1492, R241, for the Columbus link.

Thanks, r242. I don't think I'd ever heard of the Granada War. They must have skipped over it in my social studies classes.

I finally got to Columbus for Final once I connected Granada to Spain.

Gonna be interesting seeing how Liam does in the ToC.

When Liam speaks, he appears to have been heavily sedated.

I wish I were as smart as Liam when I'm heavily sedated.

How do they keep the challengers from accosting Liam with cheek pinches, hair tousling and cuddles 🥰?

Damn!

I wish Simon was my doctor.

Yesterday’s goofball in the red was a catch as well.

I notice that Liam always looks down and pauses for a moment before answering the clue. Seems like he's pondering for a moment to double check his answer.

Matt Amodio used to do the same thing. But he would ponder a beat or two longer before giving his response.

Liam got FJ seriously wrong two days in a row.

Liam’s FJ guess yesterday was off by decades. Decades.

I think Matt just buzzed in first and then had to think of what the answer was.

Did Liam win last night? The episode wasn't seen in the NY area because of football drafts (or something like that). And I can't find it on youtube.

Yes he did.

I just watched the 3 AM reschedule which itself was preempted by the Pope’s funeral, skipping Final Jeopardy but Liam could not be caught.

Sloppy, WABC, very sloppy.

“Oh, my God!”, she blurted.

Does Liam have a ponytail?

I highly doubt it.

Back to school for Liam. I guess it was his time.

I guessed Michael Crichton for FJ just because he was famously tall. But figured that reacher clue meant something (duh). I had a feeling Liam wouldn't come up with the right response so bravo to the new champ, who seems very sweet, for guessing correctly.

I'm so disappointed and Ken Jennings looked that way, too. Erin is too perky.

Liam should've congratulated her, must be beyond his limited social skills. I'm fine with Erin longterm.

I want to smack Erin.

Not because she won, but because she really bugs me.

“Let’s pivot to . . .”

As soon as I saw the FJ category I knew Liam was in trouble.

What an aggressive cow.

Damn I hate those types of contestants.

Hope she doesn’t stay long.

Congratulations to Erin!

I knew the reacher clue meant the author of the Jack Reacher books, but had no idea of the author's name.

Jeopardy! Masters Tournament 2025 begins on Wednesday, April 30 and runs through Wednesday, June 4.

Continue discussing the daily half-hour syndicated game on this thread, but use the thread linked below to discuss Jeopardy! Masters Tournament.

Not everyone who watches the Masters Tournament will be watching the syndicated games. Likewise, not everyone who watches the daily syndicated game will be watching Masters. Thus the need to have two separate threads.

🫡 😬

Liam was adorable.

No worries. I'll be back.

Liam could pass as Jim Parsons twin.

The new champ is a stud.

I'm going to agree with R273. Reminds me of Mayor Pete at debates where he sliced and diced his opponents with a ginzu knife

Admitting that I had no idea of final. However ... did anyone else find Sydney(sider) or Singleton (Bridget Jones) obvious?

Bye, Erin.

👋👋👋

Ben just bulldozed through that game. Very impressive.

But I found myself wondering how Ben would have fared if it was Liam he was going up against
