Is there an emoji for slapping your own forehead. That should be “9 **million** people.” Of course the original statement is also true. ---

> [@Arcite](#): > > The guy must have some sort of personality disorder. He’s scrubbed his Facebook page now, but he’d posted several lengthy rants about Jeopardy, how we don’t have a “healthy quizzing culture in this country,” claiming to be a victim of racism and lambasting Jeopardy for not being a force for “social justice,” mixed with petty squabbles from his personal life. On other fora, commenters have said he’s been banned from several bar trivias, and one guy who played against him once said he screamed and threw such a tantrum when his team lost that the other guy’s team asked the host to just give Yogesh’s team the win out of pity. I can easily imagine all of that. ---

Jake’s spasticity was starting to get on my nerves. But then I just reminded myself, “At least he’s not Yogesh,” and that made him a little more palatable. I had him pegged to fall soon, and I was right. ---

I thought the answer today was a gimme, and was shocked when only one player got it right. But maybe the players today were too young to remember Peter Pan. ---

I found that a little odd too–that two of the three couldn’t get it. It’s still performed today, often by community theatre and high school drama groups, so it’s not one of those shows that has a decent run, but never sees a revival. ---

I blame CGI and Marvel movies; what’s a flying harness? JK, but I was surprised that the correct play (which I picked) was from that early. I always thought Mary Martin originated the role, but that was the Broadway musical in the 1950s. I was amused (and pleased) that the winner was the 20-year old, beating the history professionals. ---

My only hesitation about _Peter Pan_ was wondering if it was as old as 1904. I was head of the crew that flew the actors for a production _Peter Pan_ at my wife’s school a few years ago. We were in Las Vegas, which was fortunate, because that’s where [Flying by Foy](http://flybyfoy.com/) is based, the country’s leading theatrical aereography\* company. They came and installed the rigging and trained the performers and crew at a much lower cost than if we hadn’t been in their home town. Good times. > \*Aereography is the art of designing and staging compositions of movement governed by the mechanics of bodies in aerial motion; a portmanteau (combining **Aer** ial + Chor **eography** ) coined by Peter Foy. ---

I was sorry to see Billy Connolly go; he was one of the least quirky/irritating of the returning champions. ---

haha. He got beat by the cloning experiment between David Spade and Foghorn Leghorn’s nephew. ---

“the cloning experiment between David Spade and Foghorn Leghorn’s nephew.” Spot on! Oh boy, my chance to be pedantic! The kid was the widow Hen’s son. Foghorn only interacted with him because he wanted a warm place to live. ---

> [@mtnmatt](#): > > That was my problem. I guessed Tinkerbell, despite having seen hundreds of ads for sandy duncan in the role as a kid growing up That was my guess as well and for the same reason. I just forgot that Peter on stage is traditionally played by a female actor. ---
