"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."

That’s great!
I was in business for myself by college but I had to stop in mid 20s because prison just didn’t look appealing :)
lol... That will do it! :)
My brother passed the test. He is in Florida awaiting a call to test in Atlanta in a simulated game of some sort to make sure he does not freeze if in front of a camera. I assume there are more answers needing questions.
As a teen growing up in Dayton, Ohio, we had a teen club called “The Caverns” - not sure where they got THAT name. :-)
It was the basement of a large shopping center and had a “stage” about 12” high so the acts were “right there”. I saw The Hollies (w/Graham Nash) at the beginning of their first US tour that featured their hit “Bus Stop”.
I also saw Simon & Garfunkel when they were promoting their album, “Parsley Sage...”. Their warm-up group was The McCoys w/Rick Derringer and they stayed on stage and became S&G’s back-up band.
Even then, I was duly impressed with Rick Zehringer’s guitar playing before he became known as Rick Derringer.
There was time but I’m not there anymore
I once auditioned for Win Ben Stein’s Money. Did well on the questions, but since I didn’t smile they said “next.”
Weird Al may create seemingly frivolous parodies, but he is a very serious musician and takes his work very seriously.
I would freeze on camera.
Running a camera is preferred and I enjoyed studio work.
I’d probably get hit with all the categories I know little to nothing about.
Yep!
I forgot to mention Rick Derringer not only duplicated Eddie Van Zant’s solo but also produced the track.
I never tire of Derringer’s slide on “Show Biz Kids” from that opening lick...

Tell me Don Pardo, what I didn’t win.
you probably have 5 seconds to answer
I can’t see it as being multiple choice, so you would have to type fast and hope spell check doesn’t mess with you. lol
Unless it’s verbal?
He wanted to retire after this last contract. Cancer or no cancer.
“Sean Connery”
Definitely a classic. It’s been a long time since they were that funny.
Turd Ferguson!
13th Century Latvian Poetry, The Naval History of Lichtenstein, British Viticulture, 20th Century French Military Victories, The Shoes of Elton John, and North Korean Haute Cuisine.
“Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” was written by Derringer and kicks about as much ass as anything ever recorded.
Yep! Beyond dispute.
