How do you 'know' all this stuff????? Another amazing and informative post thanks to you. And, isn't that a rather young looking Merv!
Great post as always, Roger! And, how fun to read about your Jeopardy experience!! That's terrific! Was always a Jeopardy fan -- well, until we stopped our television service, so this was a fun read! Have a great week!

Wow.....what an interesting post. Thanks for all that information.
Congratulations Roger. I could always tell that you were super intelligent : ) and now I know it for certain! Way to go. Do you have a tape of your appearance?
Oh wow, I got the question right! We don't have this game in the Netherlands, although I have seen some episodes somewhere. It's always great to know an answer, you feel so clever (with all the other quiz shows it's the same: know the answer, feel clever)
Being in the UK I've never seen the show, but well done there.
I'm UK raised too, so all I know about Jeopardy and twin cities ia taht there are thousands of jobs there.
Thousands of jobs in Jeopardy? Where is this place?
I wonder how you managed to get the answers with the mildly irritating thinking music going. How great to fulfil an ambition, and even better win. All those million and one facts that build up in a Librarian's mind come in useful sometimes.
Now I know why you know so much. Congratulations.
Great question and I had forgotten how Jeopardy came to be. Thanks for an interesting post.
Tum-tum-tum-tum, de-dum-dum, tum-tum-tum-pum, dee-dee-dee-ra-dum-dum...
Can you hear the tune? I certainly can. A GREAT J post.
Life with Kaishon - Actually, I DO have a tape of my appearances, but I'm afraid to look at it because our VCR is eating tape. I need to get it transferred to a DVD, because my daughter has actually never seen the shows.
I can hear the music from the show playing in my head now, over and over and over... :) Great post!
How exciting! I've watched Jeopardy for years, off and on but I've never 'known' a contestant! I hope you can get the tape transferred very soon! Wonderful post, as always.
Great post, - would love to see your part in Jeopardy, Roger. Lots of interesting information about the show, and its beginnings.
Man... You'll call me stupid because I've never heard about this show? And I feel stupid because it seems like so much fun! have I lost?! :o)
Thank you for so many curious, cool information, loved it!
Kisses from Nydia.
Jeopardy was once televised here in Singapore, I love watching it. Didn't know it history though, now I do thanks to you.
Great to here of your Jeopardy day, thanks for sharing all the info. Your like a walking encylopeadia, if I have a question I'll remember who to ask!

Jeopardy: it's a good thing. (<-- I sound like Martha Stewart, don't I? LOL!) P.S. You are my most recent brush with fame. Where does the autograph line begin? *unsuccessfully searching for a scrap of paper to be signed* Do you have any 8 x 10 glossies you'll be distributing? I thought so. Thanks!
The original must have been better than the local copy they sent here.
Nice J, though.
Never heard of it, sorry !
I love the personal aspect to your post for this week. Congrats on being so darn smart! :-) I also loved watching Jeopardy...when I had time to watch TV.
one of our favorite shows we like to see who knows your post was full of interest for sure
oh my!!! I love this show! I've been dreaming of seeing my boys playing. I felt bad from last celebrity version that my favorite Anderson Cooper didn't win.
very interesting indeed!
I have never heard of Jeopardy, but it sounds good!
You asked about Jersey if it was attached to the mainland before that?
I think all the Channel Islands were attached to France and even England was attached to the rest of Europe, though I don't know how long ago. You can probably find it in Google.
We don't have that show here, but I think I might like it! Sounds like a good brain-teaser. And you appeared on it! I'm impressed!
Love the 'Italian sister city' question. I wouldn't have guessed it. I'd have stood there like a rabbit in the headlights. LOL!
I've never seen this show either. I probably wouldn't watch it as I really dislike quiz shows, however cleverly they're put together.
Well done for your success though:-)
such a great post! I love Jeopardy, not so much because I watch it all the time but because whenever we watch it as a family I always seem to get one or two answers no one else can get so it makes me feel smart, Lol!
I can't wait to share (impress them with) this trivia too!
Thanks for all the information, I never really watch the show only aware that it was plan on the TV. A lot of interesting facts that you provided.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, may all your wishes come true!
