The 1960s gave us Advocacy Journalism, where the reporter added their opinions (typically progressive) to their stories. Before that, the standard was that reporters should neutrally provide only objective facts. Few lived up to that ideal.
In response to Progressive Advocacy Journalism was the birth of Fox “News.”
No wonder I’m doing so well!
I also remembered the contestant wearing the costume with the roses, but thought she might have worn it again on purpose.
Last Friday was the last episode of the season. Jeopardy typically reruns various tournaments for a few weeks between seasons, so these particular repeats, I suspect, don’t have anything to do with the strike.
Good a time as any to ask if Ken is hosting the new shows now being taped.
I’ve read that the new season is supposed to be filmed using old clues from previous episodes since they don’t have any writers. That is such an awful idea and will make me not want to watch. That just sucks all the fun out of trying to get the answer.
I would assume so, since the strike is still going on and Mayim didn’t want to cross the picket line.
Somewhere, in this thread or somewhere else, someone mentioned a few weeks ago having realized that Johnny Gilbert’s opening intros for the contestants were different each day of the week, but the same every Monday, Tuesday, etc.
We were away for a few weeks, and when we got back we watched all the shows we missed, so like the nerd I am, I wrote down the intros so I could share them with you, my fellow nerds.
From the Alex Trebek Stage at Sony Pictures Studios, This! Is! Jeopardy!
M: Here are today’s contestants.
T: Please welcome today’s contestants…
W: Let’s meet today’s contestants.
Th: Today’s contestants are…
F: Introducing today’s contestants:
You’re welcome.
If they film five episodes a day that seems a smart system. Thanks, will look out for that.
Thank you, this is good info.
mmm
That was me, in the “Things you realize after the millionth time” thread.
I used to try to guess which intro Johnny would use (yes, I amuse myself easily). One day, I thought, “I wonder if there’s some kind of pattern?” So I opened my notes app and kept track. When they started repeating on the second week, the light bulb went on.
I never noticed the pattern because, who cares? Johnny is just noise. Until he gets to the contestants, it’s droning. We fast forward through it. The show takes 15 minutes if you eliminate the waste and just watch the important parts.
For some reason my DVR starts recording around the intro of the second contestant. I never hear how Johnny starts the show. I have never bothered to program it to start a minute earlier, because “who cares.”
You say that now, but it would be funny if the show did a “Johnny’s Intros” category, someday. Five days of the week, five clues.
I’ll put that one with “pop music since 2000”, under categories which I didn’t get a single one. 
I remember “now entering the studio are today’s contestants!”, and watching them awkwardly cross the stage.
That’s what he said in the show I was on in 1991. I don’t know about anyone else, but I strode manfully to the podium, and was not awkward in the least.
Some Jeopardy Updates regarding what’s getting filmed during the strike:
In the Art Fleming days, it was always “Now entering the studio are today’s contestsnts. This is [name] a [occupation] from [home town]” …etc. The contestants would walk in one by one.
They had them doing the walk well into the Trebek years.
My mom records it - it is a lot nicer when you can just zip thru to the game board.
