"Mark your calendars, because the official “Jeopardy!” online test opens in less than a week. The exam is your ticket to an in-person audition, provided you can nail 50 questions, each from a different category . You can choose from four testing times between March 27 and April 11. The exam is offered just once or twice a year, so act fast."

Hopefully Alex will be able to finish out his contract.
I didn’t even know about the test but there are some encyclopedias on here that would likely do quite well.

Hopefully Alex will be able to renew his contract.
Can’t be any worse than Wolfie!
Lol... I wondered about that. How do they know it’s not an “open book” test?
With google a window away, i’m not sure :)
I take surveys for some extra bucks.
The tech tests pay the best but to weed liars out they ask ONE qualifying question that is usually INCREDIBLY EASY to find on google in 10 seconds.
There are SO MANY tech questions that would be very hard to find but they always ask questions like “what is HTML?”
then the rest of the test is just giving your opinions on companies sometimes, which anyone can do.
Doesn’t’ make sense.
I could never go on the show, because I start cussing when I miss something. And these days, there's so much emphasis on pop culture, rather than history or literature, the stuff that made the show what it was.
I know they're trying to spice it up to attract more viewers, but that is also losing viewers.
Plus, that guy Jennings needs his face punched in.
Just google for the answers...
For $200....
He was the best president of all time.
Would you have to answer answer “who is President Obama?’
Sean Connery should be on his fare well show.
I am guessing it’s done live and timed. I’d cheat anyway but decline if accepted. Just for entertainment. Maybe a jeopardy party.
Weird Al certainly had a talent for parodies.
His “Eat IT” featured the great Rick Derringer who was a highly regarded session player who played on multiple tracks for Steely Dan incl the hot slide on “Show Biz Kids” and lead on “Chain Lightning”
He also was a part of the Edgar Winter Group.
Fun Fact: Rick Zehringer lived 1 hr north of me in Union,OH and started a band called “The McCoys”. They had a couple of hit singles including “Hang On Sloopy”. Eventually, he went to LA, changed his name to Rick Derringer.
Fun Fact #2: Rick Zehringer also auditioned (one of 6-7 others) for the solo on Steely Dan’s “Peg”...but eventually it was erased for Jay Graydon’s solo that wound up on the record.
They must have it timed pretty tight so that you don’t have time to go look it up. lol
I was on Jeopardy in 2015. The online test is timed and you really don’t have time to Google answers. There are ways to cheat, for example you could be in a room with the smartest people you know and have them help you. But then if you’re selected for an in-person audition, you have to take another 50 question test, which is proctored and timed, so they know if you’ve really got the goods.
ROFL!!
Like the SATs :)
I could have REALLY used google during that :)
I wouldn’t mind the challenge just for kicks either, It was my favorite show for many many years and I usually did pretty good.
It’s hard for me to think of a better hard core guitar blues band than Johnny Winter put together for his “Live And” record. “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” was written by Derringer and kicks about as much ass as anything ever recorded.
Honestly I never took them. I went into business for myself right away. I was already in business and doing well when I was a junior in high school and just kept it going.
