Week of May 18: Elmo v. Jar Jar w/ Jen D'Angelo
About this episode
This episode features a competition recap and insights from guests related to Jeopardy! and the creative process behind 'Quiz Lady'.
Tristan Williams cements his superchamp status this week...just in time to lose it to Chris D'Angelo, who begins a little run of his own after a fortuitous math error in Final works out in his favor. Also this week, we get a quintessential Canadian contestant we love, Ken puts in a very strong nominee for Ken's Korner of the Year, and we dive deep on Sputnik. Plus, "Quiz Lady" writer and producer Jen D'Angelo–who also happens to be Chris' sister–sends in a note about finally being able to watch her brother play on Jeopardy! after years of him trying and how he inspired the genesis of "Quiz Lady" in the first place. If you want more content from our very own "Quiz Lady" (that's Emily), why not donate to our Patreon?
