Is it just me or is aaron rodgers just too low key and bland? I love how katie couric came on and lit up the room with her great smile and personality.
I think the show would be better off if it had guests hosts on a permanent basis. My mom never watched the show until the guest hosts showed up.
In the first place, I certainly wouldn’t have described the interior inside Air Force One as being a “sweltering, dimly lit cabin”, and that’s partly what threw me. Perhaps inconsistencies like that was why Richard Nixon didn’t have much regard for the autobiography. Actually, given the context, I thought that it might have been Harry Truman since the former president came from Missouri.
My favorite guest hosts in order: mike richards, katie, ken, oz, and aaron. All 5 are much better than trebek. Trebek was waaaaay overrated.
Were they really expecting the contestant to guess “George Washington” by mentioning West Virginia and that “he’s had a few places honor him”? For a 2nd row clue? Seems like a stretch to me.
I guess he is also known for being a surveyor, so the last word in the clue helps as well.
I didn’t expect them to know washington either but when he was younger, he chopped down a cherry tree. Though it is a big stretch I must say. Overall I must say that Brandon did pretty well so far. I noticed that a lot of tv shows are named after historical places. Many previous presidents have also been honored in previous FJ clues. I hope Brandon makes his third game a strong win.
figure most everyone here in Berkeley Springs got the right answer… maybe a fair number in DC … maybe not so many in a place like Spokane ….
