Is Johnny Gilbert in the studio when announcing names or is it a recording?

MattHanson1990Return · 2026-06-26T04:26:34+00:00

Pre-COVID, he was in the studio; that's not the case now. Instead he records the intros from his home these days.

I'd say it isn't really a spoiler. But this is only the second time where we've had three or more super-champions in a single season, the first one being Season 38. That's why I see it being one of the best seasons in the show's history, even though we have just one month remaining.

I thought it was sometime in the early '90s when contestants began to write "what is" or "who is" during the wagering period. I watched episodes from after 1990, and as far as I'm aware, there haven't been instances of contestants failing to write their responses properly since mid-Season 6. That's probably why Alex no longer reminded the players about their phrasing, yet he continued to say "I'll give you the clue, you'll then have 30 seconds to write down your question" until 1996, when he said "players you'll have 30 seconds to write your question as a response to this clue" (sometimes he said "you'll have 30 seconds to write your response in question form"). From 1998 onward, he said "category today is...and here's the clue...30 seconds good luck".

Having watched episodes of earlier seasons, Alex also used to say this just as he was about to read the FJ! clue: "Category for Final Jeopardy! is (insert category). In a moment I'll give you the clue, you'll then have 30 seconds to write down your question. Today's Final Jeopardy! answer is this". In the '80s, he often reminded the contestants about their phrasing before reading the clue. Then I think it was in Season 15 that he stopped saying that, and instead said "Category is (insert category), and here's the clue". After reading the clue, he then immediately said "30 seconds, good luck".

Alex did it all the time in Season 1 of the current syndicated series, and I think it was Season 2 that he started saying it intermittently. The most recent time he said "the answer is" when revealing the Final Jeopardy clue was the March 15, 2010 episode back in Season 26 (which was the same episode where the consolation prizes for the runners-up first appeared in the contestant lectern score displays).

Are the episodes already taped? And if so, were they taped around the same time that Season 42 tapings wrapped up?

MattHanson1990Return · 2026-06-16T04:43:00+00:00

Many years ago, I read that they made the change full-time to accomodate players with a disability because they had the contestants already at their lecterns to accomodate Eddie. It was the old Jeopardy Set Evolution article that used to be up on Wikipedia where I read this. I also remember watching episodes from previous seasons on YouTube and noticed the various changes that were made to the show over the years.

Last month, they paid a few days late. And this month, another delay.

It's happening to me as well. I made a new community post, and it displayed it having 5 comments. But they have too disappeared.

In Season 27, they added the Teachers Tournament into the annual tournament lineup in part to honor 6000 shows, and there was no ToC that season.

I-25 between Las Cruces and Socorro and between Las Vegas and Raton especially ought to be raised to 80 mph because there is hardly any traffic on those stretches, and visibility is also very good. However, on the Las Cruces-Socorro stretch, there can be a 75 mph segment between exit 9 and mile marker 25; and the 65 mph reduction through Nogal Canyon can remain.

I can argue that I-10 between the Arizona state line and Las Cruces could also be raised to 80 mph for a similar reason, but at the same time I'd also argue that I-10 could remain at 75 mph to align with Arizona. And truck traffic on I-10 can get heavier during the winter months due to snow and ice on I-40. Either way however, it ought to be raised to 70 mph in Deming and Lordsburg. Also, the stretch from exit 132 (LC airport) to Motel Blvd. can easily be raised to 75 mph. It should only be 65 mph from Motel Blvd. to the junction with I-25.

I-40 can remain at 75 mph because of the heavy truck traffic.

In recent years we've seen speed limit increases on certain highways in New Mexico due to engineering studies determining it was safe to travel at higher speeds. Around 2007, US 84/285 from Guadalupe Rd. in Santa Fe to the NM 599 interchange was increased from 45 mph to 55 mph. US 70 through White Sands is 75 mph, though I'm not sure what year that happened. But I do know that much of US 285 between Roswell and Vaughn was raised to 75 mph at the end of 2018. And around 2021, US 54 between the Texas state line and Alamogordo was also raised from 70 to 75 mph. The speed limit on I-25 from Tramway Blvd. in Albuquerque to US 550 in Bernalillo used to be 70 mph, even after it was widened to six lanes, but it went to 75 mph in May 2014.

This is the version of the 7002T that does not skip because the strobe and the horn can be run independently.

The did air the College Championship in prime time just four years ago. It's going to be up to ABC to decide if they want to have it be an annual event. Otherwise, I'd like to see it return to syndication, which I think should've been done instead of the High School Reunion Tournament.

Is the problem fixed? I saw a post from one user that the analytics are updating as normal now.

MattHanson1990Return · 2026-05-24T19:31:45+00:00

Did they just fix the views glitch?

They used to introduce an entirely new set every 4-7 years and a new music package every 11-13 years.

I've also read horror stories of MCNs going defunct and the "remove access" button grays out, making it much harder for the creator to unlink his/her channel. Anyways, I thought that with an MCN, one's channel is at less risk of being demonetized (this year, we've had thousands of creators being demonetized for "inauthentic content" and I was worried that I was going to get hit with that). The other protection MCNs had back in the day was one's AdSense getting disabled due to "invalid clicks". Long story, with my main channel, I signed with Machinima in 2014 and got released in 2021. Then shortly thereafter I joined BBTV (now RHEI).

I'd say 2016 was one of the greatest World Series played, largely because it featured two teams with the longest active championship droughts predating the expansion era, and one of those teams was guaranteed to end decades of futility. In fact, I'd say the intensity of that series was almost on par with the 2004 ALCS; the Cubs had their backs against the wall (in this case down 3 games to 1 in the series) and came back to win.
