This is Jeopardy!

How did none of those geniuses know that Mellencamp is from Indiana?!?

Haha, he is Mrs. Scotch's favorite artist. She was yelling at the TV.

Were you surprised they didn’t accept “car” in the final instead of Ford Model T?

Quizzmaster Yogesh Raut is done. In an incredibly competitive game, he got beaten by a very cool and composed woman. Meanwhile, Yogesh was frantic with the buzzer all game. But the highlight of the game was the reincarnation of Andy Gibb

Dude!!!

I thought it was Koops yuppie brother.
I bet he smells like sandalwood.

I am. That was my answer. Their explanation made sense, but it felt like a trick question.

Ken did a good job of covering Jeopardy's asses. He made it clear that "car" means the first car, which was the 1880s. I'm not sure I'd agree.

I think he was wearing a polyester leisure suit too.

That's why it felt like a trick question. It needed too much explanation.
I think that the answer was flawed.

You mean the question was flawed?

 

[HecticArt]

All three questions were flawed, and it could have been because the answer was too.

Technically, the clue that's read from the playing board is the answer, and the contestant's response is a question - which is why they have to respond in the form of a question.

That's the midly humorous point I was getting at. However reading it again, I did a double flip which completely screwed it up .... so carry on.

I guess I need to up my sarcasm detector.

I thought that you were heading there, so I went full Who's on First with it.

There is a humourous Abott & Costello Jeopardy exchange in there somewhere.

What is "Who's on First" Alex?
No What is on second.
or something like that.

 

[HecticArt]

No What is on second.

And THAT is the daily double!

Is there anything sadder than when a contestant is disqualified from final Jeopardy, but then they're invited back out to awkwardly stand at the podium while they roll the closing credits?

 

[Aaron]

That’s got to be miserable to be smart enough to qualify for the show, and then you end up in the negative. Definitely awkward to be invited back at the end…

That's what she said....

And Toledo was a clue tonight.

And Toledo was a clue tonight.

Was it about architecture?
