I thought I was seeing things. I looked all over, trying to see today’s video.
All those April Fools things were more distracting than amusing to me. Todd was lucky that Milton missed that last DD. A big bet might have sunk him if he didn’t have that runaway.
I found them distracting, too, especially when they had Ken Jennings seemingly answer one of the questions. I don’t recall them doing those kinds of things for April Fools Day before.
Just one good April Fools joke that got a big audience laugh probably would have been better.
Congrats to Todd on the fourth win though.
Yes! If they did one of those tricks every year, people might look for them like for Hitchcock. Doing it for the audience (if you meant live) would be much tougher.
Thank goodness. All of you make me feel better. I thought I was the only one who found the silliness on tonight’s show distracting.
I’m glad that I’m not the only one, too, Jacob!
That Tubby the Tuba triple stumper was funny 🙂
Alex Trebek: “That’s Tubby the Tuba! How quickly you’ve forgotten!”
Not sure about Todd, but I’m sure Oliver and Milton never heard of Tubby
After that long story, I hope Milton’s wife is impressed enough. I thought his answer of mortar, instead of tartar was funny.
Agree with all in here about the April’s Fool overkill. “Just one good April Fools joke that got a big audience laugh…”—yes! like Alex doing that dance featured on J! site.
You’re right — that mortar answer was funny!! At first, I didn’t even know what Milton had said but Alex Trebek saved me the trouble of rewinding. LOL!
Milton could join the Double-First-Name Club if there is such a thing. 🙂
Is it possible that he (or his parents) chose this Anglo name because of the poet John Milton (reversed) ?
Now my silly bf keeps saying ‘you gotta floss everyday to avoid mortar.’
Could be. I bet that would have made another interesting chat story.
LOL on avoiding mortar. Milton’s bound to get some teasing on that one and that might be one of the lines.
I missed the part where Alex speaks to the contestants. Milton endeared himself to me when he said mortar lol.
Ooooh! (Giggles) That’s funny! (Laughs)
