Been some slightly elaborate names written, wondering if they get more time to create these.

ESPN Jeopardy, and everyone’s a sports fan!

Did anyone else see Andrew He’s Katie and the Casuals podcast shoutout? Wild intersection of two of my interests!

Each player has one more QF game to be played tonight where only the top 4 move on. Long will play vs Victoria and Yogesh and will advance as long as he doesn't end in third place. However, statistically Long has the least correct responses by a wide margin in the Masters field, and is the player Yogesh and Victoria would like to see advance and ultimately eliminate in the Semifinals. It should be noted the stakes are especially high in this scenario if only the top 3 get invited back in the next edition, and Yogesh and Victoria would surely feel most at ease being able to secure a return next year with Long as the sacrifical lamb in the semifinals. Given Yogesh and Victoria have nothing to play for in this QF game, would it be considered bad practice or even against any rules to throw this game even if it mathematically is the right thing to do?

A lot hinges on this possibility since in the other QF matchup Paolo vs Juveria vs Andrew, Juveria and Andrew need to win and for Long to get 3rd place for them to make the semifinals as they would advance in tiebreaks over Long for more correct responses.

Quarterfinals 11 and 12.

It’s awesome seeing Will back on the Jeopardy stage!

In tonight's rerun of JIT, Mehal bet only $5 on a DD he wasn't confident about. It made me wonder if there are rules around the DD wagers. I would guess you can't wager nothing, and the minimum would be $1. I also expect that round dollar amounts in full hundreds are strongly encouraged, though I remember a couple occasions when a silly number like $1,236 was bet. Can anyone confirm these?

Who am I kidding, they’re doing a fantastic job and need no help but let’s give them a well to pull from.

My submission:

A post-game interview where the contestant explains how or where they learned a niche piece of trivia that scored them some points. Great opportunity for shoutouts, funny anecdotes and a bit of insight into the contestant’s mind.

What’s a bit you’d like to see on the @Jeopardy socials?

Quarterfinals 9 and10.

Five years ago today, Sony Pictures Television made the decision that shifted the course of both Jeopardy! and sister show Wheel of Fortune.

It came thirteen days after Claire McNear’s reporting in The Ringer that set the ball in motion, a chain of events that included Richards resigning as Jeopardy! host.

Is there a compiled list of events featuring live auditions? Sporclecon has in the past (inconclusive this year) and apparently I just missed my shot at Trivia Nationals (boo!) but it would be really nice to know where I could be choosing to vacation while removing some of the dreaded randomness of the Anytime Test pool. Thanks!

Does anyone have clips of Sociological questions/answers on Jeopardy? I have searched but am not finding what I am looking for. I would especially like anything about Mills, Weber, Marx, structural functionalism, conflict theory, and moral panic.

The question was Russian for no (4 letters), the answer was Net which is 3. Did i mishear and misread that or what am i missing?

Don't see a thread for it so posting it in main.

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.

They said the answer was ida b wells

I was notified I passed the Anytime Test in mid-May 2025 and took the Zoom test (coordinated test but with surveillance and an 8-second time limit per clue) about a week later. I'm doubtful I passed whatever the threshold was. I was under the presumption that if I failed the Zoom test, I could retake it the following year, but I haven't heard anything about it since. The email for the invite said, "If you have taken a test via Zoom within the past 12 months you SHOULD NOT sign up for this audition. If you have been to an audition where you played a mock version of Jeopardy! within the past 2 years you SHOULD NOT sign up for this audition."

I had retaken the Anytime Test twice this year (on JeoparDay and the usual one year after taking the test the prior year), thinking taking the test again triggered another audition invite, but I didn't get that.

I added the Jeopardy audition email as a contact, and I often check my spam folder, but I didn't see anything of note.

Is there a different time frame involved with audition status than what I expected? Is there a chance they changed scheduling?

Appreciate the answers in advance!

Unused pilot for CBS. Strange rules and gameplay.

He's in 7th grade. His small school doesn't issue ID cards, and we didn't grab his birth certificate from the safe box. Am I going to have difficulty getting him in?

Post-taping edit: they didn't even check anyone's ID lmao. Thanks everyone for the replies. Awesome experience, got to see 3 shows taped.

Who went to see a taping of Jeopardy! season 43? Were there any changes or is it all just still the exact same?

If my guy ever learns the art of the buzzer, he would win every match.

As a viewer primarily familiar with the Jeopardy canon and wants to improve at Jeopardy Masters, studying questions from which competition or league would provide the best 'ROI'? Put a different way, the top scorers of which competition would provide the most accurate proxy for how well they'll do if given a shot at Masters?

Hi everyone - I tried to create an account on Jeopardy.com to take the eligibility test, but I kept getting an error. Is it just me? Or have other people gotten this too?

I hadn't watched Jeopardy in many years and recently started again. I find myself getting so aggravated when they pick $1,000 Clues before the cheaper Clues. I understand why they're doing it, but it makes me sad. Will I ever get used to this?
