Just realized: Aaron Rodgers. Mr Rogers.
Just Jeopardy clue writers trying to be clever. I was expecting a reaction from Aaron but he didn’t have one. Probably hit him later after the show.

@P baldwin, I appreciate the request, but I don’t send newsletters out
I think Scott is the second person to joke with a guest host. (Brian Chang being the first with Ken Jennings)
Since my knowledge of football doesn’t go too much further than Joe Montana and Joe Namath, could someone please explain Scott’s answer to me? I don’t even know which team Aaron Rogers plays for but I do know that he’s engaged to Shailene Woodley.
When green bay played tampa bay in january rodgers green bay team was down by 8 points near the end of the game. Rodgers coach called for a field goal which gained green bay only 3 points but green bay needed a touchdown in order to tie the game. After the field goal tampa got the ball back, ran out the clock, and won the game.
It was soooooo obvious from rodgers response that he thought his coachs decision to kick the field goal was an idiotic decision. Every football fan thinks kicking the field goal rather than going for the touchdown was a horrible decision. That decision cost green bay and rogers a trip to the super bowl.
All is not well that doesnt end well.
Thanks for explaining it to me, Albert! I get it now!
speaking of Broadway Joe, I mistakenly thought him and his Medicare commercial would go away at the end of March but my daughter told me they run those commercials all year! I particularly can’t stand the way he says “and home delivered meals” (gag)
It’s a beautiful day in this neighborhood a beautiful day for a neighbor. Won’t you be mine, could you be mine? One of my favorite lines from Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. I used to watch his show when I was younger on PBS, but my favorite will always be Arthur. As you mentioned VJ, your kids watched a lot of stuff on PBS previously like Arthur right? The other shows that used to be there are Gerbert, Noddy, Kratt’s creatures and so forth. Also Scott’s response was pretty funny I tell you. Still I will love to see how well Aaron guest hosts on Jeopardy. Congrats to Brandon on his win today
Actually I said the only PBS show I remember them watching was Arthur. They used to watch Nickelodeon and superhero stuff like He-Man and She-Ra.
Just curious, but the times that I post comments are 1 hour behind my time. For example (5:07 p.m., but it says 4:07 p.m.) Do you guys know why?
Same here Jeopardy lover. I’m on the east coast which is one hour ahead of Houston, Texas where Fikkle Fame headquarters is located. For example it’s 5:18 p.m. here now. Are you on the east coast?
Yes.
Yes, the blog can only be on one time zone. This one’s on Central time
As someone who works in web development, I can say that time zones are a real pain in computer programming. And Daylight Saving Time compounds the issue as well.
An interesting bit of trivia: In addition to having the only non-rectangular flag, Nepal is the only country with a time zone having a 45 minute offset from GMT (the time in Greenwich, from which all other times zones are based). Central Daylight Time is -5:00 from GMT, Nepal is +5:45.
I wonder why Nepal would do that
