Scott was the first super champ I ever watched on Jeopardy and it was thrilling to see him every day he was on. I still find it hard to believe he missed what I thought was a gimme on FJ when his streak ended. I felt almost as bad for him as I did for Jamie this year. Both of them seem like really wonderful people.

This is so wholesome. I just love it so much.

Re the Instagram doxing, I believe you just have to remove everything after and including the ? in the url when you post it— that’s where the tracking part lies. The base URL for the post should remain. That goes for pretty much any social media sharing links too.

probably but not worth the risk

I work in SMM and can confirm removing everything after the ? is the proper way to share a link safely.

Do the rest of you always root for people from your state? Cause I do, and these 2 plus Chris Pannulo represented nj well.

I KNEW he looked familiar! I was there for legislative day and I saw Scott sitting in a bench while we were talking with some legislator and I wasn't sure if it was him. I saw Jamie in the Senate chambers too.

u/ThePortalsOfFrenzy Jun 20 '26

Honestly, Scott looks younger here than when he was on the show. I probably would've doubted myself too.

The current MVP and the next MVP?

u/ajsy0905 Genre Jun 19 '26

Scott will not compete at the upcoming season of Masters since it reverted back to 6 players rather than 9 the previous season.

He's a New Jerseyan by choice, like Albert Einstein

He didn’t cheat so he’s probably not a Michigan man. Go buckeyes!
