So that picture implies that the majority of the Wheel background is CGI or something like that.  The show is lit up like a Kiss concert, but that seems to be a rather pedestrian, white stage.

Yeah...it was very much a BIG open stage.  We talked about whether they used CGI or backdrops.  I think most of us concluded that it was backdrops.  What you can't see from the photo are the dozens and dozens of lights mounted in the ceiling.  I also liked that they had not one, but two, signs saying not to uncover or touch the Wheel under any circumstances.


No 69 or 420 as part of the number in the final round wagers?  Those are the fun numbers.

I thought it was amusing that it was part of the lecture they gave us, which tells me that, at some point, someone wagered these numbers and they had a problem with it.

yeah, well, they didn't say anything about wagering 80085 dollars, did they?  :) :) :)

I guess if they ever bump up the dollars again, this might become an issue.  I think, however, they won't ever have to worry about 2,318,008.  :lol

Now that I think about it, though, I'm a little surprised 7,734 isn't one of the naughty numbers.

By the way, during one of the rehearsal games, I hit a Daily Double and wagered $2,112.  They were ok with that!

Of course you did! LOL.

If it were me, I would have done 2112 too!

I was texting with the current champ, Kevin, who was telling me that his plan to have about 50 people watch his first episode last Friday at a bar got kiboshed by the NFL draft.  For whatever reason, I then googled his name and "jeopardy" and found the guy's video and sent him a link.  I don't know why, but I think his affectations are amusing.  He also does Final Jeopardy summary videos that are equally as good.   :lol

If only he knew!  I'm tempted to comment on the video about what an a-hole I actually am.

Re: Final Jeopardy

I immediately thought it was your answer. I would never have guessed the answer it turned out to be.

Great showing Paul! Congratulations on getting your dream appearance!

Now that it’s over, is the gag order completely off? What other experiences can you share about being on the show? How much of your final winnings do you actually get to keep?

I frantically racked my brain thinking of those immunization certs my kids have for school and couldn't come up with that final response. 

Paul, this was amazing. Thank you for allowing us to accompany you on this exciting journey.

Thanks for all the well wishes!


WOOOOTTTT!!



Couldn't have gotten a better pause?!   :lol


I wouldn't have gotten it, and TB was my second choice.

The part of the clue referring to a 3-part vaccine didn't really mean anything to me, so all I really had to go on were the year (which also didn't mean anything to me) and "respiratory illness."  TB was really the only thing that came to mind.


Respectable showing, shame you couldnt give us a shout out though :p

I was trying to telepathically send you the food answers man...

LOL!  I was not happy seeing a veggie category come up.  However, I got 2 of them (and the "vegan" clue), so that wasn't so bad.  And I definitely had in mind to do something DTF-related.  Frankly, DT could have theoretically led me to the DTaP vaccine, but unlikely.  I have a doctor friend who thought it was diphtheria, so I don't feel too bad.


Now that it’s over, is the gag order completely off? What other experiences can you share about being on the show? How much of your final winnings do you actually get to keep?

Yeah...AFAIK, I'm under no restrictions, and I'll post some more stuff tomorrow.  My guess is that they'll deduct 20% from the $2k check and send that to the IRS, but they probably won't deduct for state taxes.  It'll buy a few steaks and some beer for sure!

You were great on the show Paul!


After watching the whole thing, I knew quite a few of those. You were so calm and composed when telling your anecdote, I would've crumpled.
