Me either. People around here say they stopped watching FOX when they called AZ for Biden. Well, I haven't watched Jeopardy since Alex left the show.

Ha! GMTA!

Thank you, nothing personal really. Supposed to be smart, but doesn’t seem clever.
Just. Don’t. Like. Her.

I imagine most here know it was on the USS Missouri.

Originally, the surrender was to have been on the USS South Dakota, but President Harry Truman changed it to the USS Missouri because he was from Missouri.

I haven’t watched since Art Fleming left.

"In 'Field of Dreams' a question is asked, 'Is this heaven?' - No, it's this midwestern state also known as 'the corn state,'" read host Mayim Bialik.

I don't think it's much of an asset knowing a reference from a movie, in this case, Field of Dreams.

As to "the corn state" clue, I would have said Nebraska first and then Iowa.

“Since Alex Trebek died, I just don’t bother watching.”

I think Jeopardy with Ken Jennings is ok. We watch it. I can’t stand Celebrity Jeopardy.

On top of that, the original version of “Jeopardy!” allowed contestants to buzz in at any time, rather than being forced to wait for Trebek to read the entire clue. This, too, sat badly with Fleming.

“I would say, ‘The answer is, “He was the first…’” and they would buzz in!” said Fleming, who claimed he preferred this method of gameplay because it resulted in more wrong responses, and therefore a more exciting game.

you know! Who cares.

I did not see the movie because I thought the whole plot was stupid. Kevin Cosner starred in the movie which is par for his movies. Water world and dancing with wolves, both idiotic for their plots.

Heaven? That’s what your mother said last night, Trebeck!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

That’s it, Connery, you’re on time out.

Well, no one ever said that celebrities were smart. Or even of average intelligence for that matter . . . .

I heard the following joke when my daughters were at Truman State in Kirksville, MO.

Q. How do you get to Nebraska?
A. Go north until you hit corn, then go west until you hit wheat.

Now ya got me all confused abootthese Yankee football teams.
I know a few though: Nebraska Wolverines, Ohio State Badgers, Iowa Sooners, Michigan State Lions and Pennsylvania Nittenzy Sweaters. The Other Ohio State Team is the Pecans or Walnuts or something like that.
