Anyone watch Jeopardy tonight?

[The Spin Meister]

First round, first column was titled "Football" The three contestants, two guys and a gal, went through the rest of the entire board before taking on the Football subject. They went through the entire column not only not answering a single question but not one contestant even rang in and attempted an answer.

Tough answers like 'When each team is penalized on the same play and they cancel each other out" or 'Coach Tom Landry was the first to use the shotgun when he coached this team"

The crowd was laughing and Trebek was laughing and making snide remarks. After the commercial break , as they showed the subjects for Double Jeopardy, he said (paraphrasing) "Thankfully for you guys no football on the board this time"

I never saw them go through an entire column without anyone at least attempting one time, even with the many difficult subjects they have.

Did you see the winner? I don't think he even knows what a football looks like.

I've watched Jeopardy for decades and never seen a shutout in any category. In a way it was refreshing that three intelligent people know virtually nothing about football.

 

[lionville]

Yeah I was watching with my wife, who, like me, knew every question. It was worth a good laugh.

 

[PennStateNate]

Majority of the people on jeopardy are book worms. I doubt they watch much TV.

 

[ILLINOISLION]

So they were all Pitt fans?

 

[PeetzPoolBoy]

You married well.

 

[psuro]

Am I the only one that watches that show and screams the answer at the TV when the contestants don't know it?

Probably.

No, you’re not the only one.

Do you also inform the contestants that “you’re stupid” when they miss an easy question? I do.

I watch PSU games and scream at the TV when the refs blow it!

Actually, no. But I guess that puts me in good company.

 

[Norm Petersin]

Lmao

 

[ILLINOISLION]

Not that SNL needs ideas since they’ve done Jeopardy several times before, but with the Super Bowl this Sunday you gotta believe this is a skit waiting to happen tomorrow night.

I prefer the scene in She’s All That where the father is sitting on the couch in the background in his underwear answering all the questions wrong. Hilarious.

 

[DonP74]

Yeah, he's won four days in a row for over $91,000. He adds some emotion and he's a bit of a character.

I like the Seifeld episode in which George goes celibate and, as a result, becomes much smarter and routinely calls out correct Jeopardy! answers during conversations.

 

[Obliviax]

With the state of the NFL, I am not sure if I feel "Good for them!" or "how out of touch with American society can you be?"

I do have to say that it always amuses me that knowing the literary nuance of the Iliad is somehow admirable but Seinfeld or man versus zone coverage is not.

To me, its like watching a bunch of wine slobs pretending that somehow knowing all the great wines is the perfect excuse to get their "drunk on" but drinking a six pack of Bud for the same reasons is somehow gauche.

That’s one of my all time favorite Seinfeld episodes.

The way those contestants reacted to the football questions is how I usually react to the history and literature categories!

Too bad none of the answers required French pronunciations. Then you'd see one uppity host.
