There won't be a struggle because there's simply no realistic electoral path for Trump. The only question is how big the margin will be and how long Clinton's coattails are.

I like your response better than the actual one.

One could make a good argument for Pranjal wagering little or nothing there, since Barbra's best long-run strategy would have been to bet less than $1,200. So with a very small bet, the only way Pranjal can lose is if Barbra goes against basic strategy AND gets it right.

Yeah, I imagine if he had been next to her he'd have done that Larry David thing where gets in your face to size you up.

One of the more notable shows on the DuMont Thursday lineup was Down You Go, which was a hangman-based game that beat Wheel of Fortune to the punch by about 25 years. It was one of the few shows to appear on DuMont, CBS, ABC and NBC.

I had the "Mr. Businessman" single when I was a kid. I had trouble comprehending it was from the "Gitarzan" guy.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate Marshall's body of work is 100% dead wr…..wr….not exactly right.

Upon being told his name, I would expect that crowd to tell Andre to go back to France.

They even went as far to tell the players that it was a five-letter name.

Yeah, that was so easy that when I read the clue, I thought that Sarah would be in big trouble if she went with that $4,000 bet again, since Stacy had to have a great chance to know it. And then Stacy goes and misses it.

So it wasn't just my imagination that those guys seemed to be rooting their asses off for Carolina last week?

Thanks! And agreed, Alex's parental tone of gentle disappointment and admonishment is something I'm really going to miss when he finally retires.

Around our house we used to refer to Patrick, Theismann and Maguire as "The Three Tenors", all just getting higher and higher pitched as they tried to yell over each other.

Yes.

"Buck and Aikman are Fox’s lead announcing team, and they do a fine job."

Thanks for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

Jeopardy! thread for Thur., Jan. 16 - Champ Sarah was clearly in command here but couldn’t quite shake off Stacy, leaving the outcome still in doubt as the players faced this Final:

They could do the glance upward, or they could have him check for the bacon after the others left. But not both.

Surely the natural story of this show ended with Leslie's wedding. As you suggest, even the producers would probably acknowledge that.

All I could think during that scene with the tortured clerk in the jewelry store is how it's lifted from a Jack Benny-Mel Blanc routine that's well over 60 years old.
