Tomorrow, Trebek gets a copy of Amanda's tax returns and mocks her paltry 2016 earnings. "Definitely something gross about that income…"

No idea. Guessed Sound of Music. In hindsight "spectacles" was the key word, but I still wouldn't think of that as a "classic film role."

Much like climbing up a sand dune, Gavin got two questions right followed by one big question wrong.

I was screaming at the screen: "THE ONE WHERE THE GUY GETS REVENGE!"

WAAAAAY too intense a Wheel theme, even for the pulse pounding toss ups.

When confronted with a subject he doesn't know, Trebek has two options:
1) Pretend that he is not only fascinated, but also secretly well-versed in it
2) Complete dismissal

Somewhere, Mukund is cursing A Wrinkle in Time for making him think that a tesseract and wormhole are the same thing.

The Pizzadilla is a solid idea, but I have one question: HOW DO YOU NOT RUN THE BALL?!?

What is "Gummy Umami?"

The Jeopardy writers are chewing that category all the way to the bank.

I would have wagered everything on Gandhi. Still shocked to learn that he never won the Peace Prize.

As long as there are no sports categories, I can see Justin doing pretty well.

I have watched the Ken Burns documentary multiple times, and I had no idea that the Hunley ever existed.

"What is the Affordable Care Act?" Wrong!
"What is Obamacare?" Wrong!
"WHO IS ANGELINA JOLIE?"

"We just barely got a supermajority but the Constitutional Amendment is ratified. Two out of three ain't bad!"

That game was like blackout bingo for Trebekisms:
-Mentioning the champ's "modest total" (and will certainly do it again tomorrow)
-No/but-ing Hallie's story with "But I doubt they would have even named you Austin"
-Ending Colin's story with a bizarre semi-coherent joke(?) about "getting him in trouble"
-And FJ turned

Reminded me of an episode of Wings where Lowell answered "Ann-Margaret" for every Trivial Pursuit question.

Contestant chit-chat: Sam used to be heckled during open mic nights when the audience would scream "SHOW US YOUR MISSING FINGER!"
