To clarify: I knew that wasn't Rog doing TPIR. I couldn't remember who directed MG and for some reason thought it might have been Rog, but it turns out it was Breslow (as noted by Kevin, and I thank him profusely for reposting that). I do think it was more of a housecleaning by Fremantle than Drew, but this would be filed under "Things We Don't And Won't Know".

For example, it's not uncommon for Jeopardy to stop tape if a contestant's response to a Daily Double requires some additional research, and contestants are allowed as much time to calculate their wager for Final Jeopardy as they want, even if that requires a stop tape. -- -- TV or Not TV ....
