Alex Trebek/Jeopardy Tribute Thread

Seacrest was the wildly popular kid in high school you wanted to hate but was too darn nice to ever find a reason to do so.

Some dumb Final Jeopardy betting. Nobody wants to take the game. Leaders would have lost for not betting enough if second place wasn't so stupid.

Remember the top 4 non-winners made it to the semifinals.

And I don't get to watch tonight because the show is preempted to watch a moron sign executive orders to give a bunch of traitors pardons.

Tough way to decide a TOC on a marginal mispronunciation.

8 day champ has $92K in winnings. A big drop off in talent from the tournaments.

Yeah, she's nice and solid, but wow. $10k a day is weak

I'm not the sentimental type, but darn, good for the champ yesterday. He first applied to play Jeopardy in 2019. Now he has Parkinson's disease. He said he is playing for all people with long-term diseases. Great win over the most non-descript 8-day champ ever.

He was quick on the button and he wasn't one of the jackoffs who buzz in hoping to think of the answer in time.

Silikovitz went up against two much stronger players last night. And he made the cardinal sin of missing a state capital.

The guy with the bowtie was really good, and so was the woman. She doomed herself with an incredibly timid Daily Double bet, when she was $10,000+ behind the bowtie guy.

I've never seen a strong winner go down so hard on his second match.

The chit chat with the contestants is usually pretty lame, but the story a woman told tonight about saving a drowning guy while skinny dipping was great. As was Ken's reaction!
