We watch Jeopardy every night during dinner and I always win. Even kept score once to prove it. Nyah nyah :-)
I once cleared the board on the first match. questioned every single answer correctly. Of course, the same set of questions in the studio would be a completely different story.
What I love about Jeopardy is that first, it’s a thinking man’s game show. Second, occasionally a contestant has some personal knowledge of a category.
A few years ago, the answer was about a the name of a ride introduced at a world’s fair. The contestant said, I better get it right, George Ferris was my great grandfather.
