That was the toughest game which I had come across, and I missed FJ since I never read the book.
I only realized yesterday that Sam looks just like Steve Martin.
Congrats to the Professor!
Good, competitive show, with all three having the lead at one time.
These 61 clues were totally off the radar screen for me; just couldn’t get nearly any of them. One of the few was the stumper with a big hint in it “ya big ox.”
That “big ox” clue made me laugh. That was one where a picture would have made it a cinch, but they mainly use pictures when they don’t help 🤣🤣
I’ve done a fair amount of sewing in my day so I got that one and the hook combo as well
Ken informed us that the April Fools Day show would be “devoid” of pranks, even though Sam was there.
Then it was Sam’s turn to pick the last clue at the end of the first round and Ken actually told Sam to say “Bring it”. Sam said “Are we still doing this, Ken?” and said it. Ken said “There we go. Only you get to do it.” 🤣 Maybe other contestant will stop copying that now.
Lilly picked the last clue at the end of the Double Jeopardy! so it didn’t come back up.
I think it might have been because the “bon vivant and man about town” is so affable. Had it been one of the more annoying competitors, it wouldn’t have become a “thing”.
