The new host of Jeopardy!

I watched it yesterday and the male host was on. Due to some conversation happening around me, I didn't get to watch much, but he seemed quite good to me.

He's learned to relax somewhat.

The current champ is being made something of for being trans. I don't see that it's others' business.

Who's doing that? And what would be the point?

Why can't people just let others be?

I didn't keep a link.

Amy Schneider finally lost today. I was surprised she missed an easy question. Well, who's next for TV immortality?

Good! Now it should get interesting again. I hate these long-term winners. I wish they would limit the winners to 1 week like they did at one time.

Mayim will host a prime time college Jeopardy contest. I forgot which day it begins.

The all-new "Jeopardy! National College Championship" will run in primetime on ABC Feb. 8-22. The new tournament will feature 36 students from colleges across the nation competing in hour-long brainiac marathons. Faculty advisers will be on hand to administer smelling salts.

That was incredible that she missed that question. I'm not sure it was "easy", but Nancy was impressed that I came up with the answer almost immediately.

I instantly knew the answer. But she was one of two that missed it.

My daughter made it to regionals in the National spelling bee. She was not material to go to finals but she was good. She got out in the first round on an easy word.

Sometimes smart people have a brain fart and sometimes smart people just know smarter things...not the ones that average Joes know.

The clue: "The only nation in the world whose name in English ends in an H, it's also one of the 10 most populous."

It's one of those questions that either you get immediately or you don't. I didn't. Actually, I didn't watch the whole show. That's the way it's been for a month. I would watch the first five minutes and turn it off once I realized it was going to be a another runaway.

I got to my answer almost immediately through the second part of the clue.

They are still announcing Ken Jennings as, "Hosting Jeopardy!...Ken Jennings."

With Mayim Bialik, they announce, "Now the host of Jeopardy!...Mayim Bialik."

Maybe that will change with her moving to prime time.

It's funny what people get and assume. We have a programme called Pointless over here which is very popular.

It's like the inverse of Family Fortunes/ Feuds. A hundred people are asked a question but the object of the game is to find the most obscure correct answer. For example if the category is Beatles singles you don't want to say something well known like, I wanna hold your hand, because that would have a high score, you want to say Free as a bird which was a single released in 1995 cobbled together from old recordings.

The point is to get a low score, incorrect answers score 100.

It's open to UK and Ireland residents which means we get the occasional American on there. One time it was a picture round of historical figures including George Washington. There was an American answering and as he was the last person to answer in the round he could run through a.l the answers he knows. He decided not to go for Washington, choosing someone else instead, only to find that Washington would have been a much better answer, because the 100 people asked were British and not very many of us know what he looks like.

I had no idea, no way I come up with Bangladesh.

I knew it, but Geography is a very popular subject on Pointless. I know the names of lots of tiny obscure places.

American state capitals is another category that gets lots of Pointless answers here.
