    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?

    • VJ says:

      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!
