Hi, everyone.
I will be joining the ranks of those Dopers who have appeared on Jeopardy! next Monday, January 18, 2010 (Martin Luther King Day). Check your TV listings for your local time and channel.
Without giving anything away, I think I can say that I met my primary goal: not humiliating myself on national television (we could use a smilie for “whew!”).
Congratulations, KK!
I’ll be sure to watch. (Will we be able to guess which one is you?)
Thanks! (I’ll be the one at the middle podium.)
KittenKat, that is awesome – congratulations!
Appearing on Jeopardy! has been a goal of mine for awhile – like, an actual, serious goal. I’ve already put the online test date for the east coast (January 26) into my iPhone so I won’t miss it this year (like I did in the past).
Speaking of, what route did you use to getting on the show? L.A. audition? Brain bus? Online test?
Very cool! I hope you mentioned the Dope as one of your hobbies!
Thank you.
I took the online test last January, and was invited to an audition in Boston in April. It was the third time I’d taken the online test, and the second time I’d been invited to an audition.
How will we know which one is you? The cat?
cool, welcome to the fraternity… 
will watch with interest!
Actually, I am wearing a necklace with a cat (actually a kitten) charm on it, but I don’t know how apparent that will be. Middle podium. And while some people do call me Kat, I went with Kathy for the show.
Thanks!
Just put it on my calendar! Hope you don’t mind if I tell people that a friend is on Jeopardy!
Wow, congratulations! I’ll try to remember to watch.
(Isn’t it a lectern, though?)
This has become the eye-roll-inducing thing I always correct my friends about. 
Congrats, KittenKat! Knock’em dead!
I just cannot believe you did that in this thread.
A) One typically stands behind this.
Q) What is a lectern.
sheesh
We also would have accepted, “What is the seven foot tall man at the concert.”
Oh, I thought this was going to be our secret.
Congratulations! I’ll definitely be watching. Great to see another Doper on!
Congratulations! I wish I had the balls to take the test, back when I still had most of my brain cells. I used to know a very famous Jeopardy champ, and he was always encouraging me to do it. Maybe in my next life.
Congratulations! I always wanted to do a game show. I auditioned for “Sale of the Century” about 3 times when that was on (I’m in NZ) but never made it through.
Excellent! Welcome to the “Dopers Who’ve Been On Jeopardy Club!” I think there have been 25 of us thus far.
