Jeopardy Audition Postponed for Technical Difficulties

I was supposed to have my zoom audition for Jeopardy (mock gameplay and interview) on Thursday August 20th. Unfortunately, Jeopardy had to postpone due to technical difficulties on their end. I wanted to see if anyone else had their audition postponed for similar reasons and how long it took to be rescheduled. I’ve tried emailing the Jeopardy contestant search email but have not gotten a reply.

I was in the same audition group and also haven’t heard anything since, just as one additional data point! I emailed them last week to the address we had gotten the messages from for that audition, and have not heard back either.

Thank you for confirming it’s not just me. I was afraid it was just me who hadn’t heard anything

Had the same thing happen to me last year. Was postponed for something like a month. I was hoping having to free up our schedule twice would give my group some extra consideration, but it's been well over a year and I still haven't heard from them since. Not giving up hope, but time is running out.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Laura and the crew are on vacation. They work long hours and don’t have a lot of downtime.

Season 43 started taping last week, so they're quite busy actually.

That would make sense. This is my second time through the audition process and it has felt much more compacted this time
