I almost never get final jeopardy correct. It was great when one of the few, stumped all three. Took away a little when I realized it was a history question to them, but an event I remembered.
comicsssfan: Trebek has the whole dialog written out in front of him, plus the earphone connection. He has admitted not knowing the response. On the other hand, he works hard on getting the pronunciation correct, whatever the language.
Used to watch it in a bar after work. We’d have a $1 pool. Occasionally, I’d win. Made that advanced education seem worthwhile. About all a Sociology major can ever hope to achieve from the degree.

Yep, I’m a plugger. Been there, done that myself fairly often.

I am always delighted just to get the Final Jeopardy question right, whether the contestants do or not.

I grit my teeth every time Alex puts an accent on a latin word. If there had been accents on latin, the nuns would have taught them to us.
