Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[John Edwards]

You certainly looked fine. I can only echo what everybody else here has
said. Congratulations on your run, and thank you for a certainly
entertaining week, both on the box and on the list, and hopefully the trip
to the Proms works out next year.

Admittedly, this information is ancient, as I haven't been on a game show
in more than 25 years, but what I was told then (or the time before? 40
years) was that the prizes were held until the show actually aired --
because if the show *didn't* air, they could rescind the prizes. But as
long as at least one market saw it, it happened. (And some of the
"consolation" prizes started arriving right away, so, so much for that.)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[Ben Scripps]

I never did hear a reason for why the check takes so long, but I don’t think 
it’s to keep us from gabbing spoilers in advance.  I would imagine it has 
something to do with bureaucracy and paperwork and yadda.

The job definitely helped a lot.  As part of my broadcasting major, I had to 
take at least one class in performance, and I’ve been around the business for 
almost a quarter of a century now, so while I wouldn’t say I’m an expert, I’d 
say I’m certainly comfortable.  Apologies again if I’ve told this story here 
before, but my dad and step-mom came out to see the taping, and my dad was 
worried I’d be nervous.  No matter how many times I told him I’d be okay, he 
kept telling me I should go out to our news set and sit in front of the cameras 
with the lights on, just to get used to being under the lights.  After the 
taping was done, he told me that the moment he heard me respond “What is 
Canada, eh?!”, he knew he’d been wrong and that I was perfectly fine.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[Diner]

Congratulations, Ben, on living the dream and doing it delightfully.
Watching you win was thrilling. And even when you fell short, you were 
still incredibly engaging, and it made for compelling TV. (I know that's 
not very comforting, but still!)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[PGage]

I didn’t realize they don’t pay until after the episodes show; I would have
assumed they gave you a check on your way out the door. Is that to enforce
your silence until air time?

We have talked a bit before about how Alex can be a bit of a dick at times,
but he clearly liked you. Why not, you were likable, but I think in
particular you had the talent of being comfortable and verbal, without
threatening his control or the time limits of any interaction. I imagine
Alex really doesn’t like contestants who are either so nervous they hardly
talk, or so loquacious they take over. Do you think your job helped prepare
you to comfortably occupy the short windows for talking on television, or
is that just your personality (I suspect I would be weirdly and obnoxiously
both too cryptically nervous and too controllingly Over-talking).

Congratulations again on a very successful, entertaining and engaging run.
Your three games explored almost the full range of the Jeopardy experience,
as Alex kind of foreshadowed in his introduction last night. To win a good
chunk of change, show off your J-Skills and schmooze with Alex is a dream
come true I’m sure, and well deserved.

Now I can't help but wonder about this theoretical situation: someone who works 
for a local TV station is on as a contestant at the end of the season, and 
carries over to next season as the returning champion. For the new season, the 
station they work for starts carrying "Jeopardy!". What do the producers do?

(I suspect that's not actually going to come up, since they should know the 
affiliate contract situation well in advance. In fact, that may have been 
something they checked while you were waiting.)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[Ben Scripps]

When they called me, I actually had a two-part phone call; after I confirmed my 
station isn’t a J! affiliate, the contestant coordinator said she still needed 
to run it past her boss to make sure I was good.  So I got the call, then had 
to sit on that information for about four hours waiting to hear if I’d be 
approved or shot down.

We haven’t promoted on-air at my station at all; the station that carries it in 
my market is an NBC affil, and there isn’t really anything on NBC I watch, so I 
haven’t seen if they’ve done anything local.  I know they ran the promo Sony 
produced which featured me heavily, but I haven’t heard anything directly from 
them.  I did do a radio interview with my old friend from college (we’re both 
game show nerds), the local paper did a front-page story on me (small town 
America…), but that’s it so far.  I’ve watched each episode at work with the 
few co-workers in the building and on a Zoom meeting with much of the remaining 
staff at home.  (BTW, here’s the video from Final on night #1: 
http://www.benscripps.com/transfer/reax.mp4 
 )

As for the $1,042—the thousand part was ‘cause I had some wiggle room for 
wagering and didn’t want to be one of those people who wagers nothing.  The $42 
was a pure call-out to “Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy”.

> -Does your station air “Jeopardy!”?

I can answer this part based on the paperwork I've filled out every time I've 
tried out for the show -- if he worked for a station that aired "Jeopardy!", he 
would have been ineligible.

Sorry I don't have Wednesday's episode to share with the list, but I had some 
apparent reception problems that are causing my DVR software to not be able to 
export a complete file.

I have a couple non-spoiler questions (as we approach 11:00 in the East):
-Does your station air “Jeopardy!”? If not, how has your station – as well as 
the other station – been promoting your appearance?
-What was the significance of the $1,042 wager last night in Final?

[Ben Scripps]

There’s a delay between your last episode’s air date and when you actually get 
the check, so getting the finances sorted for a trip this year was never really 
in the cards.  

But that’s the nice thing about the Proms; they seem to be able to survive and 
thrive from year to year…:-)

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

[Adam Bowie]

I've never been to The Last Night of the Proms, but I have been to other
Proms and they're always good fun.

I fear that the Last Night... trip will have to wait until at least 2021.
The BBC may not have confirmed it yet, but there's no way the Proms will be
going ahead in their usual guise.

But great fun watching - and cheers Jim, once again, for sharing.

The BBC won't announce a decision on that until the end of the month. (

The UK finally got around to imposing a two-week quarantine on incoming

I was supposed to go over in early August for a cricket match, and I'm

Re: [TV orNotTV] Ben On Jeopardy!

['David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV]

 Let me echo what was said earlier about how engaging and personable Ben was 
during the game.  Without disclosing what happens tonight, Ben continued to be 
fun to watch.

There seems to be so much contestants have to pay attention to during the game 
(including tracking - or not - the scores) that I don't fault any player for 
not being 'good TV' because they're focused on the game.  I know that 
production tries to factor this in during contestant searches, but even the 
gameplay during the auditions can't replicate the studio experience.
(That said, I suspect it's the weakest part of my

And I still feel a little bad about missing that DD; I took three semesters of

I worked in captioning back in the Analog Era, and I know things are different 
here in the Digital Era -- I suspect the caption files are distributed to local 
stations separately from the program files, and your local station got confused 
about which was which. (I just checked, and "Jeopardy!" had the correct 
captions on the broadcast here in L.A.)

On a sidelight – and maybe Jim can explain it – throughout tonight’s episode I 
also received the closed-captioning from an episode of “Wheel of Fortune.”

[Joe Hass]

To be *abundantly* clear: there was *never* an intent to post *anything*
about the content of the episode prior to 11:00 PM ET/8:00 PM PT. Since
here in Chicago it airs at 3:30, I tuned in at 3:27 only to see Governor
Pritzker's face and thought "Oh, you've gotta be *kidding* me! I'm gonna
miss this!". Then he wrapped up and Channel 7 joined the episode literally
just as the returning champion was being introduced. This made me very
happy.
