Missed the show while embroiled in a nearly 7-hour baseball game. Looks like it was competitive till the end. I guessed Nantucket for Final and got only the 2nd DD. Old enough to remember Dr. Cooley’s invention and the sponsor of “Wild Kingdom.”
MeTV has a new channel called “West” and they’re airing that “Wild Kingdom” show on Saturdays.
Congratulations Aaron! I’m so happy Washington has another Jeopardy! champion. Of course, I am a little bias. I loved both boards today and actually got two DDs and Final. Thanks to VJ for adding the tidbit about John Belushi’s burial. That’s why you host THE BEST site to review Jeopardy!. I hope Aaron is more than a one day champ. Good luck!!
Thanks, Sam. I’m glad you liked the recap. 😁
Hope you get your wish.
