Granted, I was on a college bowl team in HS (no other schools had teams so we had to go up a level) and am friends with someone who was writer on the show, so I’m probably biased.

I think you’re making Jeopardy! sound more exciting than it has any business being.
And this is a show that puts a “!” in it’s title.

The question writers probably would find it fun. There are no winners, only a survivor. 

You can actually win with $0 if the other two have negative scores at the end of the second round. They automatically are not permitted to go to the final round.

You could win with $1, right?

Agreed. People forget that Thailand is the only Southeast Asian country that was never taken over by a Western power and that is due to Mongkut and especially his son, Chulalongkorn. Honestly, a film or mini-series dealing with one or both of the rulers trying to modernize their country while slipping the bonds of…

Pretty sure this film will never see the light of day. Shapiro has the ability to turn crap Into... more crap. Someone Is going to leave complaining about not getting paid, someone else will leave because of “artistic differences,” etc. 

First off, Hollywood hasn't proven to me they can make great Broadway musical adaptations in years.  Hell they can barely make a great musical full stop.  Two, if your gonna remake a Rogers and Hammerstein musical, make it South Pacific.  The themes of hate and racism being taught are pretty topical still, and the…

An actually historically accurate story of King Mongkut would be quite interesting.

The King and I however is about as historically accurate as Sherlock Holmes is a portrayal of Victorian law enforcement and criminal investigation.

But he was also so young that he could re-evaluate his positions and beliefs later in life, like Elizabeth Warren only became a liberal when she was in her 40s.

Yeah. You see people win a game with $13k and you see people win with $32k.

He’s wasn’t paid that, it’s what he won during the course of play. And that could come down to a number of factors that have nothing to do with Jeopardy’s rules and regulations.  Simple play style and the wager at the end have a lot to do with how much can be won in a single game.

Please. Don't give Carlson an excuse to create a Jeopardy Death Curse on Conservatives cult.

That heartbreaking moment when you wish she’d just apologize, but instead, she doubles down :(

Hmm not sure where you saw that “her ability to earn an income” is being erased...but the hand-wringing over a shitty-sounding person losing a job is adorable.

I don’t love the way she wrote her statement, but Jesus Christ, y’all: can we please focus on what Joss Whedon did to her, and not the fact that she writes funny?

He was absolutely complicit in the wardrobe malfunction and let Jackson take the fall. I thought I knew the full story too, but I learned a lot from the You’re Wrong About episode on it (a great podcast in general).

Everyone should watch the 2020 film The Assistant. It shows how people like this get away with their actions and how normalized and accepted the behavior is, because everyone wants a paycheck.

Not to mention, the man that saw to her industry-wide near-total ban was Les Moonves, who was ousted by CBS following sexual misconduct allegations.

It is still astounding to me (and a testament to the deep, deep misogyny of our culture), that Janet Jackson’s career was so profoundly impacted by that moment. This woman, who reigned as pop ROYALTY for the two preceding decades - and one split-second nip-slip took her down.
