The TV Show Jeopardy!

I like the new host and former contestant, Ken Jennings. I think he’s doing a great job for a rookie.

I got the answer to final Jeopardy again last night…I usually do. It’s because I have that extra time to think. During the playing rounds, the contestants are just so fast with their recall and answers that I feel I’m always just one step behind.

Still love the show, though. Do any of you like to watch Jeopardy!?

Last night the Final Jeopardy! question went something like this…

"This was a hit in 1982…again17 years later…and then again 17 years later after that."

I got the answer…can you?

Those ‘press your buzzer’ quiz games are heavily processing speed based. I don’t know if it’s the case with Australia/Canada/USA etc but there’ll be those who go on several of that type of game . Many can be described as ‘quiz enthusiasts’;similar to ‘scrabble enthusiasts’ who make a point of learning as many new words as possible.

I don’t know the answer to your question but I do watch Jeopardy here and there. I miss Alex Trebeck, but it seems like Ken Jennings is doing a good job.

The answer was Prince’s hit…1999.

It was popular again right before the turn of the Century…then again when he passed away 17 years after that, I believe.

I got the answer. I very often do for final Jeopardy!..because like I said, I have more time to think.

I don’t watch any network television. I’ve caught Ken Jennings in the past, glad to hear he’s the host. I guess Watson wasn’t available? That would have been cooler.

Who is this Watson that you are referring to?

The AI that creamed Ken Jennings in a special matchup.

My hubby is a trivia king. He loves jeopardy. He plays the game, too. Maybe one day he’ll be a contestant.
