And did he still get the cash?? I knew someone who knew someone (who knew someone? I forget how far back it went) whose Jeopardy ep was supposed to air the week of 9/11. And if they don’t air it, you don’t get the money. I know we all had more important things to worry about, but damn, that seems cold. And why not…

Ugh, fuck all the ‘psychics’, especially that terrible skinny kid on E!

I’m old.

Soooo... it was exactly like winning on Wheel of Fortune in the 80s?

Sounds like a scam where they start charging your credit card after 60 days!

No love for Wipeout? And yes, I’m sure the original Japanese version did it better, but that last round when someone gets whacked with a padded arm they didn’t see coming? Good stuff.

I know it’s not the same thing & obviously wee infants get a pass, but when you’re spending most of our lunch date chasing your kid b/c they won’t stay seated or only being able to have half a conversation b/c said kid can’t go more than 30 seconds without your…

Ugh, seriously. :-(

MIS-MATCH!!

That was my first reaction, too.

...I watched it on a small TV in the upper press room (the lower press room was built on top of the old swimming pool and turned into the briefing room)...

To watch heads explode, throw in the occasional ‘Mazel Tov!’ or ‘As-Salaam-Alaikum!’

Peppermint mocha?? That’s barely even coffee!!! HEATHEN!!!!
