Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage
It comes from Dan in Australia, who emailed and asked, Hi Gary, with all the research you have done for your podcast, have you ever thought about going on jeopardy? Thanks
Honestly, I have never given any thought to appearing on Jeopardy or any game show. Jeopardy isn’t just a matter of knowing stuff. There is a skill involved that includes properly selecting categories, better, and buzzing in.
Could I become a Jeopardy champion? I think so. But then again, I could just as easily fall totally flat depending on the categories. There are a great many things I know nothing about, including a lot of popular culture.
I’m familiar with Jeopardy, but I’m not a regular watcher. I’ll watch it if it’s on, but I don’t go out of my way to watch it.
Moreover, if you are successful on Jeopardy, you have to record the shows several weeks in advance. I couldn’t do this podcast if I were successful.
Contestants can’t reveal the results beforehand, but if I were running weeks’ worth of encore episodes, everyone would be able to figure out the results.
