It's just one of eight game/competition shows on the networks tonight.

Jeopardy! recap for Wed., Jul. 12 - No one really established command until well into DJ, when Gavin put some daylight between himself and his opponents, aided by Sara-Jane missing two easy DDs. But Kelly was able to break up Gavin's runaway on the last clue, so everyone still had a chance going into FJ with Gavin at

Jim is the guy who makes a puzzled look at the camera every time Trump says or does something wacky.

Having the biggest-grossing movies be by adults, for adults was just the way it was. They made a quality film, people usually showed up for it. The whole process wasn't as micromanaged to maximize profit potential.

Yes, he did. No idea why.

It is "doe-gie", but they let the pronunciation slide.

"Honest" in that he openly and without reservation hates the same people the GOP base does, which is why they love him.

It feels like to encourage binge-watching, they want series that are on the light side in terms of depth or resonance. They don't seem interested in really challenging the audience too much.

The characters all sit around and talk about fast food and bad movies, I guess.

Given the ratings of the TV version of Comedy Bang! Bang!, I'm pretty sure truTV wouldn't sell the show that way.
