While dopers were taking the Jeopardy online test in January, I was in LA taping the episode being shown tomorrow, March 25.
I had a fantastic time, though appearing on the show is definitely the scariest thing I’ve ever done which accounts for my look of terror. I’m at the middle podium.
I’ve been told I’m the 25th doper to appear. Hopefully there will be loads more from this round on online tests!
We’ll definitely be watching. Jeopardy is our gateway to Primetime. Comes on at 6 opposite the local news, so we always watch Jeopardy. It’s followed by the 30-minute Deal or No Deal. I’ve been tempted to put up a thread asking if any Dopers have made that show, but figured it would be tantamount to asking if they’ve been on Jerry Springer!
No zingers from Alex, but he had been in a lot of pain from a foot injury in the preceding weeks and was getting around better so maybe that contributed.
No doper recognition codes either! I had thought about slipping one in during Final Jeopardy, but we were told to write nothing but the answer.
Glad to know people will be watching … I don’t even like looking at photos of myself, so I may run screaming from the room when it’s on.
My husband was on Jeopardy years ago in the Teen Tournament, and we had his tape transferred to DVD a couple of years ago. I show it to everyone, and he has to leave the room because he’s embarrassed. It’s actually rather funny.
We’ll be watching for you! My toddler’s newest trigger that it’s bedtime is ‘I wanna watch Final Je’pahdy!’. We’re training him early :).
