Alvarez, as you may or may not know, has been accused by one of his co-stars on English Teacher (I believe) of raping him. Without getting into the weeds Alvarez’s response effectively amounted to admitting to it but saying that the alleged victim changed his mind halfway through the act, and that essentially absolves him of the accusation.

I generally aim not to be a “canceling type,” but am a bit disappointed in his inclusion on Celebrity Jeopardy—as a survivor of a very similar assault, it hits close to home. I’m just curious whether this might have predated the allegations.

To be clear: I’m not calling for any cancelation or “boycott” or whatever. I’m still going to watch every episode including this one, along with regular Jeopardy. This is more for my own curiosity.

(I also admit I was a little surprised to see Tyson a couple weeks ago, but it seems the industry generally has allowed him to move on, so a bit more expected.)

I hear there's an episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy that has a Muppets category? I'm a big fan of the Muppets and would love to watch that episode.

Thank you in advance!

Why did the stop all the fun tournaments with youngsters and instead give us these dumb second chance and wildcard tourneys that no one can even figure out the basis of, or remember the difference between.

Bring back the kids!

I have Directv and accidentally deleted 2 weeks of shows before we could watch them. Is there any other way to see them? I can’t find a streaming site. Thanks, David

how to pronounce "chalcedony." It's not CHALL-se-dough-knee.

In the first clue for cities, the answer is on the name on the face of the building!

DD1 - 1,000 - WORLD FACTS - Central Asia is made up of 5 countries, all former Soviet republics, including these two "T" ones

DD2 - 2,000 - ETYMOLOGY - Aristotle believed there was a "fifth element", which gives us this word for the purest form of something

DD3 - 1,600 - WHAT AN ARTIST DIES IN ME - If this Northern Renaissance painter of wild imagry was alive, he'd ask, "A TV cop has my name? & What's TV?"

Correct Qs: >!DD1 - What are Tajikistan and Turkmenistan? DD2 - What is quintessence? DD3 - Who was Bosch? !<

I understand that many won’t understand or care about this or think I’m overreacting, but these organizations are disrespected too often for me to say nothing. It would have been so simple for Jeopardy to say “also known as,” but instead chose the condescending “so-called.” These organizations are trailblazers and have an incredible impact on the country. The name “Divine Nine” has been EARNED.

Here are today's Tournament of Champions contestants:

• Kevin Laskowski, an Episcopal priest from Falls Church, Virginia;
• Allison Gross, a data scientist from Cleveland, Ohio; and
• Mark Fitzpatrick, a content manager from Riverside, Connecticut.

Jeopardy!

WORLD FACTS // "H.R." // LUCKY 13 // THE THEATER // OF EQUAL MEASURE // PLAYING SPORTBALL

DD1 - 1,000 - WORLD FACTS - Central Asia is made up of 5 countries, all former Soviet republics, including these two "T" ones (Mark doubled to 3,600.)

Scores at first break: Mark 4,800, Allison 1,600, Kevin 600.

Scores entering DJ: Mark 7,000, Allison 2,600, Kevin 2,200.

Double Jeopardy!

WHAT AN ARTIST DIES IN ME // ETYMOLOGY // WAY, WAY BACK IN THE DAY // ON THE MOVIE SOUNDTRACK // NATURE // PLAYING NON-SPORTS "BALL"

DD2 - 2,000 - ETYMOLOGY - Aristotle believed there was a "fifth element", which gives us this word for the purest form of something (Allison dropped 3,000 from her score of 4,200 vs. 5,400 for Mark.)

DD3 - 1,600 - WHAT AN ARTIST DIES IN ME - If this Northern Renaissance painter of wild imagery was alive, he'd ask, "A TV cop has my name? & What's TV?" (Mark added 5,000 to his leading score of 11,400.)

Mark extended his lead on DD3 but everyone stayed in the running going into FJ, with Mark at 16,400, Allison with 10,400 and Kevin at 6,200.

Final Jeopardy!

U.S. PLACE NAMES - Before 1867, this city that lends its name to a type of tree was known as Novo Arkhangelsk

Everyone was incorrect on FJ. Mark dropped 4,401 to hang on and advance with 11,999.

Final scores: Mark 11,999, Allison 8,399, Kevin 1.

Triple Stumper of the day: In "H.R.", for a clue about big-money gamblers that was also a game show hosted by Alex Trebek, Allison came close but left the "s" off of "High Rollers".

Judging the writers: Yes, in the ToC, they offered 1,200 for knowing Lucille Ball was the biggest sitcom star of the 50s, after spotting everyone the word "Ball".

Correct Qs: >!DD1 - What are Tajikistan and Turkmenistan? DD2 - What is quintessence? DD3 - Who was Bosch? FJ - What is Sitka?!<

Could your response simply be "What?"

Jeopardy said or implied yesterday, 01/30/2025, that Alchemy was always a pseudoscience and a fraud, but Glenn T. Seaborg accomplished Alchemy by turning bismuth into gold in 1980.

hi all! my little brother is autistic and absolutely loves the masked singer. one night my mom and i were watching pop culture jeopardy, and there was a clue about the masked singer. my brother just asked me which episode this clue is in so im hoping somebody can help!! thank yall in advance.

Wednesday's Celebrity Jeopardy!, directly facing The Price Is Right At Night in the time slot for the first time this week, fell to another series low of .19 in the key 18-49-year-old demo, and attracted under two million viewers, down from 2.52 million last week.

CJ! fell far short of TPIR's .27 in the demo, and its 1.84 million viewers were more than a million short of TPIR's 2.95 million. CJ!'s demo numbers were down over 40% from the previous week, and also over 40% off the lead-in, Abbott Elementary (.34).

It wound up tied for ninth on the broadcast networks for the night. It was also the lowest-rated of the four game shows on the networks behind Hollywood Squares (.30), TPIR (.27) and Raid the Cage (.20).

I don’t know if there’s any specific protocol in place to vary the locations of the contestants.

I'm normally ambivalent about contestant chats during the game, because they interrupt play. But I'd love to be able to go back and watch all the anecdotes of top Jeopardy players, whether that's the biggest champions like James or Ken, or tournament players like the newest TOC semifinalist, >!Neilesh Vinjamuri!<. It would help me get more of a feel of who they are and be more invested in their games. Maybe the Jeopardy website could host them, and perhaps select compilations could be posted to the main YouTube channel. For example, a video for TOC Finals supercutting all the finalists' old chats, and a similar video for Masters. Maybe future tournaments could have a "meet today's players" supercut each day.

Here are today's Tournament of Champions contestants:

• Will Stewart, a political organizer originally from Nashville, Tennessee;
• Ryan Manton, a systems administrator from Columbus, Ohio; and
• Mehal Shah, a software engineer from Seattle, Washington.

U.S. CITIES // HOMONYMBLE ON YOUR FEET // FITNESS // IN THE AIR // PRE-BOOTS // LET'S PUT 2 THINGS TOGETHER

DD1 - 600 - IN THE AIR - These avians can rotate their wings to generate lift while flapping both up & down, enabling them to hover in the air (Mehal added 1,000.)

Scores at first break: Mehal 2,200, Ryan 2,600, Will 1,000.

Scores entering DJ: Mehal 4,200, Ryan 4,000, Will 2,200.

Double Jeopardy!

COUNTS & COUNTESSES // FILMMAKERS // ASIAN HISTORY // COMMUNICATION // AUTHORS // STARTS & ENDS WITH THE SAME VOWEL

DD2 - 1,600 - COMMUNICATION - The Baltic-Finnic languages include Finnish & this national language spoken due south across the Viro Strait (Will doubled to the lead at 14,800 vs. 12,800 for Ryan.)

DD3 - 1,600 - AUTHORS - Sinclair Lewis created this guy, a symbol of materialist conformity; Matthew Broderick played him on stage in 2024 (On the next clue after DD2, Ryan bet just 100 and was correct.)

Will made a big move into first place on DD2, found DD3 on the next clue, but passed on the chance to open a huge lead by betting only 100. Will was able to barely hang onto first place into FJ at 14,900 vs. 14,400 for Ryan and 7,400 for Mehal.

Final Jeopardy!

LATIN PHRASES - After Camillagate, a fire at Windsor Castle, and marriage problems in her family, Queen Elizabeth II dubbed 1992 this

Everyone was incorrect on FJ, as Mehal left out a letter that changed the pronunciation. Ryan made a small wager from a close second place, dropping 501 to come away with the win at 13,899.

Final scores: Mehal 399, Ryan 13,899, Will 900.

Triple Stumper of the day: No one knew Henry Fielding's 1749 novel titled after a character, "Tom Jones".

One more thing: Based on this game and yesterday's, the writers seem to have been doing a lot of clue research on Matthew Broderick's Wikipedia page.

Correct Qs: >!DD1 - What are hummingbirds? DD2 - What is Estonian? DD3 - Who is Babbitt? FJ - What is "annus horribilis"?!<

Let me preface this by saying I am not trying to start anything. I am just massively concerned. I saw a video on YouTube pop up in my feed. From fact verse stated five days ago, saying the show was going off the air sometime this year. I was wondering if any of you had heard anything. I haven’t but that’s because I don’t use a lot of mainstream social media. Honestly, this is it. Mostly I use the decentralized stuff. This has me seriously concerned.

Does anyone know why last season Chris Pannullo wasn’t? They did the year before and this year again.

Tournaments usually end in two-day games; the same contestants in both where scores are added to determine a final result.

What happens, on Day 1, when a contestant badly bombs out with a zero or negative score at the end of Double Jeopardy? They would return for Day 2 but do they participate in Final Jeopardy on Day 1? How do they wager? Will the negative score carry over? Will Johnny end up embarrassing the contestant if he announces the Day 1 negative score at the beginning of Day 2?
