Jeopardy! in the news

Obviously, Jeopardy! is in the news ALL the time with this or that about Alex or about the studio or about Alex's mustache or about winners or about losers. 

This one is 

11 things no one tells you about competing on Jeopardy

Well, I guess that is no longer true since by showing you this article I did tell you. 

So there's that. 

I know, I know. . . who am I?!

I'm JEAN VALJEAN!!

No, I am not. 

I am someone who used to post here often. Daily?  Weekly? Monthly? 

And now - every decade, so it seems. 

Well, I read this and just thought,  am I reading this right?!  

Is this an article about my beloved Ken Jennings in the year 2013?!  

I love this guy.  He's STILL in the news. 

Also, truth be told, about two weeks ago I ordered and have since received, but have yet to crack open, two of his books -- > 

Because I Said So and Maphead.  

So there, Super Secret Book Club with Only One Guy (Hi there, Glen!).  I don't tell you everything I read!  I have secrets from my secret book club.  It's true. 

Worst Birthday Week News Ever

Nooooooo!!! 

Another one!

We're on a roll with our posts! Interesting that both posts have to do with pronunciation....no one disqualified Alex's Foooon-Kay answer....

What a crock!

Jeopardy!

Oh Alex, you're so posh w/ your fancy pronunciations...

Where did 2011 go?

Stuff happened on Jeopardy-- we didn't cover any of it. Well, here's something from 2012. Tips from Roger Craig, who I think still to this day earned the most money in a single Jeopardy! episode.
Go here.

Long time, no post..

There's a new Alex in town but today's is Alex T's birfday!
Time.com had it covered.

New Set!

I can't believe that I'm the one posting this-- from thousands and thousands of miles away but I hear there's a new set. I heard the news and immediately went to http://www.jeopardy.com and there was a handy virtual tour. It's like I was there. Look at the size of that audience...it's a real hot ticket! They do pack a punch wth their cheers.


Take a tour here...it's free!

Here's how this went down...it's because I love our blog readers (Glen, Jess and Jeremy...and is Leah reading?) so much that I went through the below to have the post up in a timely matter.

[15:33] Llevy326: so there was an article about the 10 questions (instead of video) on time.com
[15:33] Llevy326: in the side panel there was a link to a slide show with photos of Alex T.
[15:34] Llevy326: but every time it clicked it went tosome andy roddick photos
[15:34] Llevy326: and i was obviously incredibly disappointed
[15:34] Llevy326: so i immediately brought it to glen's attention
[15:34] Llevy326: he found the person who could update it but it took at least one whole day!
[15:34] Llevy326: but we got there in the end.
[15:35] Llevy326: i was thanked (as mrs. levy) by the New york operation-- good catch

10 Questions...

This post is brought to you by none other than Time.com.
Alex is a ham!



Enjoy the 10 questions
here.

The smartest person alive!

I know, I know

It has been a while since the last post. And it will probably be a while again. BUT we have been watching the show this week and are happy to report a woman from Brooklyn is the current champ. (two days now).

The real reason for the post - classic category came up last night. Well not classic as in I have seen it before. Classic as in - THIS is why you watch.
The category was
"5 People Who Have Never Been In My Kitchen"

No mention of Cheers, no mention of Cliff Claven. It is just so in the fabric of our culture, that the phrase "X number of people who have never been in my kitchen" can stand alone! Now THAT is classic.

Queen of the Cotswolds

What is... PAINSWICK? No, this is not really Jeopardy related but this video needed to be posted someplace online. And it's too large a file to email. (except now that i think about it, we did read a lot of quiz questions on the way to this adorable little village so it IS appropos for the blog)


And this is where we stayed. Balderdash!

Long time no see.

Hi jeops...how's it hanging? This came up on thepage.time.com. Jeopardy is just such a force, it's everywhere.
That's it.

Stop Looking at Me, Swan!

Two of my favorite things came together in a big way this week. Trivia and Billy Madison.

First in Ken Jennings Tuesday Trivia email, readers were asked, "What actor founded Happy Madison Productions to produce his movies?"

Then while watching the College Championship Finals today, in Double Jeopardy the category was Happy Madison and each of the five clues were given by Adam Sandler!

What does it mean?

Archibald Leach, Bernard Schwartz, Lucille Leseur

AALNJ is growing!

There is much to post about in the new year as you can see. But to get the first thing out there -- > come summertime there will be a new Jeopardy watcher (not so much a Jeopardy question answerer)! We're having a baby!

The Anti-Jeopardy

These t-shirts are blasphemous!

Increase in traffic...maybe?

Well, it's top 10 list time as I am sure you see from specials in the New York Times, Time Magazine, and most things published at this time of year. Alessandra Stanley's piece titled:
'Robots, Lies and Smoking for $800, Alex'has a nice message of our blog's namesake. Perhaps this will have a trickle down effect on all things Jeopardy! and in turn...this blog.

We won't hold our breath, though.
