Not a good week for the FJ record at all. About all we can say is that the winner got it on the days anyone got it. Dan Feitel became a 5x champ on Monday but we said à bientôt to him on Tuesday when Jacob Johnson took him down. Then the one-day champ thing kicked in big-time: Jami Griffeth won Wednesday, Addison Godel won Thursday and Chris Wonderly won Friday.

Various media outlets picked up the segment from Wednesday’s show where the players failed to recognize new Attorney General Loretta Lynch. In case you missed it, Time had this extra video on their article.
