I read an article about the guy. He spent days/weeks watching Jeopardy to listen to Alex’s voice and had a button rigged up to press. I’m guessing like playing cards, Alex has a “tell” when he gets to the end of the question. He did it standing up for hours (5?) on end. I guess they tape a bunch of shows on one or two days that last the entire week.
After the first day he realized his new dress shoes were uncomfortable and got inserts. (He asked if he could do the show in sneakers and shorts!)
I could almost see him losing from a dumb mistake. Betting the farm on Final Jeopardy and it will be to break the $10 million mark.
“And James - lets see your answer.”
Scrawled on the screen is “New Caledonia”.
“Ooh. That is the right answer but is not in the form of a question, I’m sorry James.”
(I don’t know - does it even have to be in the “What is ....” format on Final Jeopardy?”
Depends what day he started, but they do a week's worth of shows in a day. Two in the morning and three after lunch.
