Is the end near??? Jeopardy!' brainiac at wits end? Lock in your wager By MARK WASHBURN Knight Ridder Newspapers Published on: 11/29/04 Henry VIII, Louis IV and Alexander the Great, smart guys all, had long and historic reigns, but it had to end sometime, and so it must be with America's King of Trivia, Ken Jennings. Since June, the clean-cut software engineer from Salt Lake City has bulldozed through 73 episodes of "Jeopardy!," raking in more than $2.4 million in winnings and dazzling the nation with his command of arcane knowledge.

Source: TVGameshows.net ——— But this week, perhaps as early as Tuesday, TV's quiz whiz will meet his match, say insiders in the game show universe. "Jeopardy!" outcomes are TV's equivalent of state secrets. Contestants sign a contract to keep mum on the details until the show airs, and studio audiences are expected to join the conspiracy of silence. But avid fans who form a sort of "Jeopardy!" underground believe that Jennings' 75th appearance, taped in September at Sony Pictures Studios in Culver City, Calif., and expected to air Tuesday, is his last. For Jennings, authority on all things zodiacal, chronological and biblical, there are signs the end is near. People who have attended recent tapings say Jennings is no longer on the show. And in Washington, D.C., a group of "Jeopardy!" contestants who lost to Jennings plan to gather for a viewing party this week. Invitations are for Tuesday. Producers for the syndicated show say they haven't publicly revealed an outcome before airtime in the last 21 seasons and aren't starting now. Even stations that carry the show are in the dark. "They haven't told me," said Stu Powell, vice president and general manager of WCNC-TV, which carries "Jeopardy!" at 7 p.m. weeknights in Charlotte, N.C. Mirroring a national trend, his station is seeing the highest ratings for "Jeopardy!" in years. Up to 10 percent of households in the Charlotte area — that's about 100,000, says Nielsen Media Research — are tuning in for Jennings' mental gymnastics some nights, a rating that exceeds most of NBC's prime-time programming on WCNC. But while still a big draw, Jennings' ratings have drifted off from the summer when he was approaching the $1 million total in overall winnings and setting other game show records. It may be a sign that some viewers miss the more competitive days of the show and are growing tired of Jennings' streak. "It now looks to many people that it may never end," said Powell. In the months of the streak, Jennings' opponents — dubbed "Kennon fodder" in some circles — had to balance the thrill of getting their onetime shot on "Jeopardy!" against the disappointment of having to face quizdom's heavyweight champ. "It was like, 'Hey! I did really good and I'm never going to be on again," said Dr. Jeff Suchard of Placentia, Calif., who was within a competitive $4,900 of Jennings going into Final Jeopardy on the Oct. 4 episode. Suchard lost (the category was "Poets"), and under the show's current rules, cannot try out again. But he's hoping "Jeopardy!" might develop special episodes for those who scored well against Jennings. "We're all hoping they'll have a 'Ken Jennings Road Kill' tournament," said Suchard, an emergency room physician. Suchard said Jennings is as unassuming in person as the image he projects on the screen. "It would be wonderful if he was a jerk and everyone could hate him, but he's nice and he's gracious," Suchard said. "He's just on another level of play."

Weizen makes some excellent points. My Mom's Cancer was first noticed a YEAR before by a radiologist when she had a CAT scan after Heart problems, yet no one ever bothered to read the report. Also, her Oncologist has been great consulting with the Doc giving her Radiation, the Kidney specialist, any doctor she has seen in the past year.(They always say they have talked to him before she came in) Good doctors consult with each other, they don't just make a guess and stop there. Best of luck, and I'll keep saying some prayers for your wife.

Dude, I don't know how much more to the point I could be, but as I said.... don't know how true everything is, but interesting I ain't gonna spend the hours factchecking an email, just posted the mofo.....

Up.... Ghost, how was the quality????From the reviews I just read at amazon, sounds like a very weak set, with Horse Feathers still a choppy ass copy...I was going to get this set, and the W.C. Fields one, but now wondering if I should save my money in hopes of them someday doing these films right.... http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...?v=glance&s=dvd

So....this was truly a dutch auction then????

definitely, definately.

Yes, the Rolling Stone must have asked some of their old time reviewers as well to come up with a list like this. The same folks that said year after year that Led Zepplin sucked.

Oh yeah...I heard him say he was a Kerry supporter! :rsmile:

after where it had been,(and been thru) not for all the tea in China.....

Yes, that would solve everybody's problem. Violence is the answer. Sometimes it is....if someone threw a drink on you, what is your likely reaction going to be??? Thanks bud, I was getting a bit hot??? I am not a fan of Artest, but damn, if he really hit someone (His fellow teammates were better shots! ) or hit someone with a chair or something, that would be different. I could see suspending him for a month, or so but the whole season? I heard them say on espn that he was hit by a coin awhile back. He flipped the bird to the crowd, and he was fined 20K. Bet nothing at all happened to the guy who threw it at him. Now, any fan knows he can do ANYTHING he likes to a player, and the player will be afraid to do shit. Go to a game just once this year, toss a coin at an opposing player from a fair distance, and if no one sees you, you get away with it.... Yea, Artest was wrong, but the fan's behavior is taking a backseat. Hell, the guy who threw the beer on him has a long criminal record..... http://www.clickondetroit.com/sports/3938054/detail.html

and not being all that concerned besides aiming for the center, I hadn't noticed there was something in the porcelain bowl. EGADS!!!!!! What is that, a tarantula???? Holy crap, flush that mother down!!!! Crap, it didn't go down!!! What is it??? Once the water calmed down, I noticed just above the water level 2 eyes, it was a frog! Double egads!!! How the hell did that get in there??? It seemed to be alive, so went to get a some latex gloves(doesn't everyone have them?) and tried to put it in a covered plastic container to put 'em outside....it jumped outside the bowl...we have 4 cats, didn't want them to get Kermit for many reasons, got him on the second try.....tossed him safely outside....so, how the heck did he get in there??? It has rained all day, but we have had much worse rains and never seen any creatures come up thru the pipes....at least I wasn't sitting down. Anyone else have a similar story to share?

Congrats, Jim! But, did you remember to rotate your tires? Oddly enough, I had spent that morning at Firestone getting an allignment and a rotation. Mine got done this week, along with various other problems that got fixed. Man, you guys......I can scarcely catch my breath! I wish I could live a life 1/10th as exciting as yours!

Don't they have a procedure to fix fhat? a quick Lewinsky will fix that right up...

Little Stewie is saying happy birthday...I think...I can't read cartoon lips.....

But do you know...................................................................the rest of the story????? David Lee Roth training to become EMT Tuesday, November 16, 2004 Posted: 9:39 AM EST (1439 GMT) NEW YORK (AP) -- Rocker David Lee Roth, the former Van Halen frontman, is taking up a new trade. Instead of screaming "Jump," he'll be yelling "Clear!" Roth, 50, has been riding for several weeks with a New York ambulance crew in training to become a paramedic, The New York Post reported Tuesday. "I have been on over 200 individual rides now," said Roth. "Not once has anyone recognized me, which is perfect for me." The singer, who spent a decade with Van Halen before embarking on a solo career, except a collaboration with the band for two new songs on a greatest hits album, has been riding along with crews in the Bronx, Manhattan and Brooklyn several nights a week. His training seems to be going well. Several weeks ago, Roth saved the life of a heart attack victim in the Bronx by using a defibrillator. He takes his work so seriously that he did not want publicity so that it would not "diminish what I am trying to do here." He has said that he did not want the neighborhoods he was working in named so that he would not draw attention to himself or co-workers. "You would never know you were dealing with a rock-'n'-roll guy," said Linda Reissman, Roth's EMS consultant and tutor. "His commitment really is touching. He wants to help people." http://www.cnn.com/2004/SHOWBIZ/Music/11/16/people.roth.ap/

Just about the funniest guy on this here board!!! Have a great one!!!!

Got it for my Mom....they run these earlier ones now on Bravo, but nice to have them without the commercials....there were two pilot movies they say, the one from 1967, and then again in 1971! No extras sadly enough, but pretty nice all and all...can't wait for the next set!

SANTA MONICA, California — The Santa Monica Police Department issued a warrant for the arrest of G-Unit rapper Young Buck on Tuesday (November 16) in connection with the melee at Monday's Vibe Awards. After reviewing a videotape of the fight, investigators believe Buck (born David Darnell Brown) stabbed 26-year-old Los Angeles native Jimmy James Johnson after Johnson assaulted Dr. Dre during the ceremony at the Santa Monica Municipal Airport hangar (see "Dr. Dre Attacked, Man Stabbed During Melee At Vibe Awards"). Buck, who will be charged with assault with a deadly weapon, was one of three men seen on the videotape with knives. The other two have not been identified. "Mr. Brown is seen lunging over another male and swinging the knife at Mr. Johnson's upper body while Johnson is looking away from him," Santa Monica Police Department spokesperson J.T. Butts Jr. said at a press conference Tuesday (November 16). "He is clearly depicted holding the knife after the assault and was a number of fight participants sprayed by pepper spray. Brown then fled the scene and was not identified until earlier this morning. ... We are asking Mr. Brown to surrender himself to the Santa Monica Police Department immediately." The encounter began around 7:25 p.m., when Johnson approached Dr. Dre pretending to ask for an autograph and began punching him several times. "As private security persons attempted to control Mr. Johnson, several males attempted to assault him," Butts said. "Two uniformed officers attempted to intervene and they themselves became victims when unidentified men threw chairs at them." James was stabbed in the chest and suffered a collapsed lung. He was rushed to a local hospital and is in stable condition, Butts said. James, who is on parole, has not yet been interviewed, nor has Dr. Dre. "We have a call in to him, he has not responded, but we will interview him at his earliest convenience," Butts said. "This investigation is continuing and we are in the process of identifying several other assault suspects. We have a lot of people to interview." Butts said he has no idea what sparked the assault and made no connection between Johnson and Suge Knight, a longtime Dre rival who attended the awards. Initially only two officers intervened, but Butts said 56 officers were on the scene within minutes, including more than 30 who were patrolling the Vibe Awards. Metal detectors were used at the doors, Butts said. Young Buck has several arrests in Nashville on his record for minor offenses, Butts said. A spokesperson for the G-Unit had no comment. http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1493786/1...oung_buck.jhtml
