Thanks to Steve Sabol I knew all of them. I lived on NFL Films growing up
I never followed or was ever interested in American football and I guess many other people are the same too.
Alex was like man "fuck it" at the end.
I saw this I was rolling!!!
and my little girl was like
people should really try to know a little it about everything dad.
I wouldn't have got that Tom Landry question.
I would have cleaned up in that category, I got all of them right, I knew most of them before he even finished reading it.
yeah me too...
It's common knowledge that most of these nerds are horrible with sports questions ...football, basketball, baseball,....I saw a dude say that Magic johnson played for the San Antonio Spurs once....wtf
Wife and I have been watching the current Champ this week, he's been a good player . Currently on for a 4 day winning streak and is almost at $100k. Plays aggressively, takes big risks and pays for it sometimes by ending up in the hole but always manages to climb his way out of it and eventually take the lead, it's been impressive.
wait...what??!!
Yeah lol. I had a friend of a friend who was on Jeopardy as a contestant and she said they give you things to study but the book is huge
Yeah....I've heard that too.
where u from
Unless the show has changed the rules since *I* was a Jeopardy contestant (check the search - I've talked about it before) that "study book" rumor is nonsense. After the Quiz Show scandals in the 1950's, there are many checks and balances to make sure NO ONE gets an advantage. And aside from one picture each taken by a production assistant, the interaction you see Alex have with the contestants on-air is the ONLY interaction there is between him and them. Same for EVERY game show.

Interesting...i've never heard that
My wife and her homegirl were trying to sign me up for jeopardy behind my back a couple of years ago and as far as i know the steps are:.. first you do an online test, pass that.. then do an audition and in person test at a city closest to you and then get a callback to audition at jeopardy studio in cali where they pick the most camera friendly people out of all the nerds to be on the show.
Then they film 5 shows in one day with 15-30 minute breaks in between..which is a full week of shows. They Give you time to change clothes..and eat a snack..staff tells you to pack at least 3 changes of clothes for your trip...would be hard to study in between.

Ok, i'm not the only one who suspected something "off"
Friend of a friend seems like shes full of shit
This is pretty much EXACTLY how it was for me. Although I was on before the online auditions, back when the producers went to different cities on weekends with multiple tests scheduled all day in a hotel ballroom. "Alex" would ask questions on the monitor - supposedly they were all $1000 level questions - then we would sit and wait as the answer sheets are scored. From what I was told, you could only miss THREE questions out of THIRTY before they eliminated you from further consideration. There were over 300 people who took the preliminary test at the same time I did and only SEVEN of us were called back to stay and talk to producers.
