UPDATE:
So for West Coast folk, I'm gonna be on tonight if your local ABC channel is the one airing Jeopardy.
It's apparently folks in San Diego and Santa Barbara get Jeopardy on NBC so it aired last night.

Witness the blaze of glory that is my performance 🙂
Hopefully I'll capture a good copy and encode the whole thing to serve up somewhere soon.

CLIP:
Final Jeopardy Clip - 11MB, Divx 5.0
(Thanks to Yllus for encoding/capturing and Ciber for hosting)

How I lost on Jeopardy, the extended version:
3rd place gets $1000. So in if I had wagered nothing I would have gotten $2000. But I chose wager everything in hopes of glory.
I don't see a dime of prize money till like March/April.

I auditioned previously for College Jeopardy but wasn't selected.
The test composed of 50 questions of close to the $1200-$2000 variety seen on the show. I know for sure I missed at least 4-5 answers.
I think one needs to get 40+ correct to qualify. Immediately after test was an interview to play test and talk to the coordinators.
BTW, you get to keep the Jeopardy pen just for taking the test.
Of course, I'm not allow to appear on any other gameshows for like a year.

I got the call to play in August and went in to tape an episode in September but I was held-back because they wanted to use all the non-locals (as in folk not from SoCal). I then went in again 2 weeks later and taped my episode. The whole process involved bringing in 3 changes of clothes. (note: if I had won for 4 days in row I would have probably worn the same clothes on at least a couple shows)
Trash talking as minimal. 🙂 They also gave us lunch on the Sony Picture Studios lot. The stage is right next to where they tape Wheel of Fortune.

Of course I got to invite several guests to watch. And each taping takes about 30 minutes, close to live air time length.
Most of the time spent in the greenroom was to go over the interview stories and what is called the Hometown Howdy (which is the short commercial ad mostly seen by smaller markets).

-(Sorry, no Cliffnotes)-
 
Aww ok. Hope you did ok. I've known a guy who was on there... just a normal guy, history teacher at that, but he sure does know his facts.

I don't think he'd be allowed to disclose that until after it airs. Odds are by the overall tone of it, no.

It'll be on in a couple+ hours. You'll see for yourself.
 
I just saw an episode just now with an Asian d00d, a guy with a beard, and a lady. The guy with the beard won ($20,000+), the lady got second, and the Asian d00d (you?) got last place with nothing. The final category was "Magazines" and the answer was Good Housekeeping. So was that you?
 
er good luck! Or "I wish you had had good luck" or "If I had known I would have wished you luck prior to your appearance!"

<--tried out for Jeopardy but was too dumb.

Yeah. Alex went for the pattern in his interviews.
I wanted to use a story that would have made me look even more foolish had it been used.

Yes and 80s music rules! 🙂

LOL You got 0Wn3d on Jeopardy. Well here's a :beer: anyhow. Since most of us here in ATOT would probably be kicked out in the prelimanary testing stages.

Kudos man.. You got your 15 minutes of Fame 🙂

/You could have just blamed the buzzer you know 😉
 
HAHAHAHA!!!

So you came away with a box of ramen noodles or Rice'o'Roni.

Wait... can I have some?

Actually I should have posted -- So that explains your FS/FT post of one case of Rice'o'Roni...
 
If you didnt say any of the following... you suck.
?Then the day is mine!?

?Only on account of villainy.?

?It?s a man with a moustache.?

?Then I?m the cock of the walk.?

?Febtober.?

?Well, you were wrong, you Montabank.?

?It looks like this is my lucky day. I?ll take the rapists for two hundred.?

?Well, the game is afoot. I?ll take anal bum cover for $7,000.?

?Not a fan of the ladies, are you Trebek??

?Moo. That?s the sound your mother made last night.?

?Oh, ?ruff?. Just the way your mother likes it, Trebek.?

?I pose a conundrum to you, a riddle if you will.
What?s the difference between you and a mallard with a cold?
One?s a sick duck...
I can?t remember how it ends, but your mother is a whore.?

?Knock Knock.?
Who?s there?
?Me, the guy who slept with your mother last night.?

?Suck on it Trebek. Suck it long, and suck it hard.?

OR, at a minimum, you should have wagered eleventy billion dollars
