Whitty Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Ummm... let's see. How about Q & A time? Makes it a little easier with the way message board discourse works... Ask away and I'll answer away... cryptique- It took me about three months before they called me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Stewart Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 All I wanna hear about is how well you did, how nervous you were, what story you told about yourself, and how disturbing Trebek is. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitty Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 Did you act like Sean Connery? The temptation was resisted. what question about your life did alex ask you? First day was chatting about how I'd like to have Alex's job (two day workweeks for only about half of the year I believe) and how I envied him being animated into a Simpsons episode. Second day we BS'ed about my job at the time as a surveyor. I was a one-day champion. Very poetic. 28 grand was my take, though I actually scored more and lost a close match on day two (would've had about 58 grand if I pulled it out). I would give Ken Jennings a tough match on a good day. He was so damn quick on that buzzer though, not to mention he really could pull some of those obscure 2,000 dollar clues, too.

tongue-tied Posted November 13, 2007 Share Posted November 13, 2007 i spent a good chunk of time yesterday making a Mii version of the Burger King to send to the 'Check Mii Out!' area, because i felt the current kings present didn't bear enough resemblance. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Whitty Posted November 15, 2007 Share Posted November 15, 2007 All I wanna hear about is how well you did, how nervous you were, what story you told about yourself, and how disturbing Trebek is. Didn't see this the first time 'round... Already mentioned my winnings and story... I honestly wasn't that nervous at all. I'm used to being on stage, and I didn't have any more anxiety than I would for a gig, which isn't a whole lot. More anticipation (as opposed to out-and-out nervousness) beforehand than anything else. I was glad that my first game was also the first of the five to be taped that day. Waiting around in the green room for a few hours probably wouldn't have helped very much. The crowd at the taping was only a few hundred, and they're seated off to the side out of view, so you don't really think about them. Once the game started, it was all business. It moves too fast for you to stop and think about all the money at stake and all the people who will be watching. Trebek isn't disturbing at all. Shorter (as all TV people inevitably are) than you might expect- probably about five-eightish. He's very tan. And he really is a sharp guy from what I could tell during our brief post-show chat. I get the feeling that he really does know a lot of those answers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
the_fliz1 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 I once answered all but 2 questions right during an episode of Rock and Roll Jeopardy, while is was doing a crossword puzzle. To this day my wife swears that had seen it previously. I could never be on normal Jeopardy though. All of my knowledge is of the useless variety. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
