That end of Double Jeopardy! was a little clunky. However, I don’t think that I can pin that one on Mayim, and everyone knows I’m not her biggest fan. Of course, what I don’t know, since I’ve never been at a taping or in the studio, is how the host is notified when there’s less than a minute to go. The halting and choppy delivery seems to be minimized, so, that’s a relief.
It’s too bad that the “Overheard” was Ryan’s after game thing, because his Arnold imitation was spot-on!
As for FJ, I went down the coast, but, not far enough! I was thinking all the “New” states were the Duke of, like Duke of York, &c. So, I could understand the reasoning for Daniel’s “Hampshire” response. But, as I stopped at South Carolina, I didn’t think of Georgia, and I said “Pennsylvania”, figuring Billy Penn could have been born there, then! Clearly, I was wrong!! Consulting my buddy, Professor Wikipedia, I see Billy was born earlier, 1644, but, in London!
And how did I know Beethoven’s only opera? From Tom Cruise, of course, in “Eyes Wide Shut”!!
Jason, Ryan’s Schwarzenegger impression is on Jeopardy!’s YouTube channel. I added it to page 2 as well.
Now that is WAY COOL!! Thank you, VJ!
After the last triple stumper, Mayim wants to reveal the last clue for Opera but no more time.
