Remember the drunken boxing guy? The story was he was almost Danny Rand. That would have been a cool show.

Yeah, I know. My point is that "nuclear energy" is a bit vague, since there is more than one type of nuclear reaction that can produce energy. It'd be like saying a coal power plant's "source of power" was fossil fuel.
And in this context, "generated" and "converted" essentially mean the same thing.

It might have just been talk, but it's worth noting that when there were rumors that Trump was planning to shut down the US satellites collecting climate data, Brown responded, "Then we'll launch our own damn satellites."

Yeah, but the clue is asking for the source of the power. Ultimately, the "energy generated" is electricity.

Bonus J!6 Point of Order!
It's nuclear fission.

Originally, yes, but I think now they're both correct (in English).

Jeopardy! Objection!
CAMEL LOT $400 Clue: For textile purposes, camels aren't usually sheared or plucked; the hair is gathered via this natural process
Accepted response: "What is shedding?"
"Shedding" is not how the hair is gathered, it's how it's produced or removed. "What is 'by hand'" or possibly "What is combing"

They somehow managed to ban the one good one (allegedly).

Ugh, kids these days and their music. Just who the hell is "Chuck Berry", anyway?

If she survived that unbearable X-Files episode with no repercussions, I see no reason why she wouldn't survive this.

Killing My Own Career

Bonus Round (Boxing matches are like game shows, right?)
Rocky III took the Rumble in the Jungle and whitewashed it by jamming Rocky in there, and poorly explained Rope-a-Dope to boot (what if, like, you make Clubber Lang hit you so hard he passes out?). Watch When We Were Kings instead.

What is Candy Crush with Mario Lopez?

Well, they were trapped there for decades before that.

"Full of country goodness and green pea-ness."
Or was that The Critic?

-10 points for the headline not being "It's Again Time For Animaniacs" or a riff on the same.

Yeah. You probably already know this, but it was originally going to be Pop: 5,120 but some network people thought that that would make it too unrelatable and insisted they add an extra digit. Not actually changing anything about the show, just the number on the sign.

Yeah, I was just talking about the plot. The book doesn't really make sense, and I'm sure the original cut of the movie didn't either, but by all accounts the reshoots made it worse. It also cut out a lot of Martha Vickers role.

This car was chosen to be the time machine because it would look like a spaceship to people in the 1950s
I took it to mean chosen by the writers/producers, so I'm fine with it.
