Happy 86th Birthday to the Greatest Host of Syndicated Television - Alex Trebek (July 22, 1940)

I'll make a bday celebration post tomorrow and Friday (GMT +7) to commemorate him, as well as a say goodbye (early) to s42 with crazy things that happened; upload schedule (might change depending on my busy-like-a-bee hour) below:
8:00 (morning); 3:00 (afternoon); 8:30 (evening)

Once again, hbd Alex, we always love u, and 4ever be

86 years ago today, the late great Alex Trebek was born in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, which is just 212 miles north of Toronto.

Hard to believe it has been 6 years since his passing. His presence will also loom large over the show we all love.

A brewery I follow just posted their new beer release. Thought some of you might enjoy the branding 🙂

Just so everyone knows, Alex trebeck's last episode will air tomorrow at 3:30pm (edt) on GSN.

“On Christmas Day in 1997, it was Rodman to Kukoc, who made a great catch & one of these buckets with 1.1 seconds left on the clock”

The Bulls beat the Heat by 10 points on December 25th, 1997, and this buzzer beater happened at the end of the 3rd quarter. Im wondering why they would pick such an inconsequential buzzer beater over some significant one in the playoffs. Obviously the clue is still accurate, it’s just seems kind of odd and random to me.

It's the fastest I've solved one of these I think! A fun little puzzle to wake up to this morning.

Does anyone else do the NY Times Strands puzzle? It's a daily word puzzle where all the words are part of a theme. Today's puzzle is titled "What is...." and might be of interest to the folks here.

MUSICAL PIECES

Words later applied to this 1867 piece include "Far from the Black Forest you hurry to the sea"

What is Blue Danube?

Every time.

Both the original shows and the spin-offs (Celebrity, Pop Culture, Masters, GOAT, Rock & Roll, Sports, and Jep!) apply!

I adore Ken and think he is a fantastic host, but I've been watching since childhood and it's burned into memory. Does anyone else experience this?

DD1 - $800 - ASSEMBLE! - Cardinals assemble! Specifically, to elect a new pope during one of these, from the Latin for "with a key"

DD2 - $2,000 - NARRATOR OF THE NOVEL - The Remarque-able Paul Bäumer, a young German soldier who witnesses the horrors of war

DD3 - $800 - BEYOND THE SEA (after "sea" aplhabetically) - The Fourth Amendment shields privacy by barring this pair of unreasonable actions

Correct Qs: DD1 - What is conclave? DD2 - What is "All Quiet on the Western Front"? DD3 - What are search and seizure?

The game is Strands

I record Jeopardy and watch it a bit later. Even later today as my watching partner was at local trivia night. But when I played the recorded show, it was ½ an hour of Will Trent! Did anyone else experience this? Very frustrating. Luckily I have Hulu so I'll watch it tomorrow.

After no one responded correctly to a clue in "Literary Number, Please" about Arthur C. Clarke's ____: The Final Odyssey he said that the "third book in the series is 3001", but 3001 is actually the fourth book after 2001, 2010, and 2061 (which he is the one he presumably forgot). I sure hope he doesn't get fired for this blunder! (/s)

Johnny Gilbert just celebrated his 98th birthday last week. I recalled that Don Pardo lived into his 90s as well, so I looked it up, and he lived to 96, working until the end. I think we have found the Fountain of Youth.

Otherwise Sam is definitely Paul in disguise

THE 1960s

Turning points in this event were the U.S. Navy boarding the Marucla & a cargo ship called the Kislovodsk altering its course

What is the Cuban Missile Crisis?

WRONG ANSWER 1: Bay of Pigs invasion

WRONG ANSWER 2: the Cold War

WRONG ANSWER 3: Vietnam War

These are my least favorite categories that pop up from time to time. Choose one

1. Before and after
2. Rhyme Time
3. Homophones
4. Opera
5. Religion
6. U.S. History (so vague, but always something random)
7. Literature (Also so vague it hurts)

GO!

Forgive me if this has been asked & answered before, but is there a name for when 4 of the 5 clues in a category follow the “rule” in the category title, and the 5th uses the rule in the clue itself and the answer does not follow the rule? For example, in today’s episode the “in blue” category featured 4 responses with the word “blue” in them and 1 in which the blue tidbit was in the clue itself. I was wondering if that type of clue had a different type of name in the writer’s room or in jeopardy circles. Just curious. Thanks!
