WBZ-TV in Boston had to preempt most of tonight’s episode for a news update on Covid-19 so tonight’s episode was lost into the DJ! round.
Speaking of that, there wasn’t too much to miss.
Congrats to Kris on the win and I loved his comedy on the phd hiring thing. Just hope he can go on a streak. Sad to see Sid go. I thought he had this game won. What other countries outside of China applied this principle VJ?
None that I know of, Lou. I don’t think Kris meant that message as comedy but, anyhow, you’re not the only one who thought Sid had the game in the bag– I think Kris did, too. His reaction to winning was great!
P.S. On that Medicine Men DD, I have often said that doctor’s last name wrong (without the first R), and I did it today, too, when answering the clue. If that was me up there, I bet they would have rejected it!
Me too, VJ. I I just pronounced it as (Kristianne) and not Christian. It was my first time saying his first name wrong as well.
Well, if you said his last name right, that probably would have been okay. I said his last name wrong.
Is it just me or is Sid the tallest?
It’s just you.
