Week of March 2: No.

About this episode

This episode discusses a standout Jeopardy! moment, celebrity involvement, and the world of movie prop auctions.

A Jeopardy! contestant answers a common question on the show with such speed that it becomes a Response of the Year contender as we get a bit of an up-and-down week on the show that features a little 3-game run for Quentian (as Emily spelled it in our show document) and a whole lot of gunslinging. Plus, J! fans want to see a celebrity join the show after Ken goes to a play, John gets a little punchy, and we dive deep on Rosebud and the world of movie prop auctions. If you want to see a lot of horrible TV prop work in action, why not join our Patreon? You can help support the show AND get access to our latest episode, where John and Emily review the pilot of "Cop Rock", the much-maligned, oft-forgotten police procedural/musical written by Steven Bochco back in 1990. It is one wild experience, and you won't wanna miss it. You'll also get immediate access to our entire back catalogue, access to our very fun Discord, and MORE!
