I am such a dork for jeopardy that I record them. I have about 60 episodes on my DVR right now. I will sometimes watch ahead and then watch it with my wife and CRUSH her! ...."What is Man of La Mancha!"
Had a game we used to play back in the day with my first roommates. We were like 19 living over by Laurelhurst Park. Pre DVR, so we would sit down and watch very night. The game was that once Alex gave us the topic of Final Jeopardy and goes to commercial break, we would give our answer. Even before Alex gave the question. It was hilarious! After doing this for about 4 years, I finally got one right. Topic-Islands Answer -The Azores My mom was born and raised there, so it was the first one that came to mind!!!!
I knew a guy once who worked on a (90s era) Jeopardy computer game and heard the tapes of Alex recording the questions and answers and he said Alex swore like a drunken sailor.
I loved Trebek but still miss Art Fleming every step of the way......if there had been no Art Fleming there would have been no Alex Trebek......
