2007: George W. Bush is easily the worst President of all time.

Agreed. But they did, and in doing so proved their value against those who amazingly still claim there's no significant difference between the parties.

Trump's approval ratings are horrible and he still hasn't gotten a piece of major legislation through.

Why did Trump win? Because he was entertaining. Like it or not, you have to fight back with better entertainment.

The Democrats stuck together on this. Maybe people can remember next time they ask what Democrats stand for.

So…no review or even a mention of "The Last Tycoon" on Amazon?

The term used was "transitions to".

He was already despised. At least now maybe he can get some GOP cash and casino money to help him keep his seat, which probably won't work against the Reid machine going to bat for Rosen.

It has a mighty 9 on Metacritic.

I'm not sure who that would impress, though. He was already disliked by both the left and right for not taking a stand. In this situation, abstaining would be the equivalent of a no and would just make him look more like a weasel.

Because if he voted no he'd get primaried and lose big-money GOP support. He's screwed either way.

And Heller voted yes. Congratulations to our new Senator Jacky Rosen in 2018.

I couldn't really hear the "s" but they edited it so close that I couldn't be sure.

I'd say the show puts an emphasis on areas of actual learning over true trivia or useless knowledge. The breadth of information required that runs the gamut from the serious to the silly is what makes the game more than just a trivia contest.

There was some editing there, I figure that Trebek accepted it, then the judges stepped in to reverse it, they stopped tape and cut out Alex's acceptance, which is why the other players didn't get a chance at it.

Yeah, they should have been thinking of any British actor who was huge in the 90s, not a British actor who played a president anytime.

When it comes to frivolous crap that doesn't really matter, we can't be beat. Fortunately, on Jeopardy! you have to know some crap, too.

In all seriousness, all other factors being equal, a regular A.V. Club reader has a clear advantage at Jeopardy! over a non-reader.

They've established in the past that "Frankenstein" is acceptable for the monster.

Jeopardy! recap for Thur., Jul. 27 - Champ Justin and Ryan dueled for the lead throughout, while Shadi got hot at the very end of DJ and had an opportunity to take first place by finding DD3 on the last clue. But for some reason, she only bet enough to land in a close third place going into FJ with $9,800 vs. $10,400
