“Jeopardy!” champion Ray Lalonde announced last week that he would not cross the picket line to participate in this season’s “Tournament of Champions” if the ongoing Hollywood writers’ strike continues into the fall. “As a supporter of the trade union movement, a union member’s son and a proud union member myself I have informed the show’s producers that if the strike remains unresolved I will not cross a picket line to play in the tournament of champions,” Lalonde wrote in a Reddit post in the r/Jeopardy forum.The Toronto contender explained more about his decision to The Post on Monday, describing that he had heard rumblings about the show’s taping plans from “industry insiders” on Facebook.

Jeopardy! could actually be in jeopardy.

Ken Jennings may be a master at "Jeopardy!" but he’s not unbeatable when it comes to game shows. The "Jeopardy!" host appeared on this week’s episode of ABC’s "The $100,000 Pyramid," where celebrities team up with contestants to try to guess a word based on their teammate’s clues. Jennings’ team faced off against comedian and "Sex and the City" star Mario Cantone in two rounds with two different contestants and lost both times.

reposted a screenshot of an article from Fox News about Anji Nyquist, a “Jeopardy!” champion who had been named the “hottest contestant ever” by fans and recently spoke about their requests for her to join OnlyFans. The article had used a solo photo of Jennings at his hosting desk to accompany the headline — which he clearly got a kick out of.“Let me stress that I haven’t made my decision yet,” the host joked in a message on the social media platform.The Post has reached out to Jennings’ representatives for comment (and perhaps a decision).In response, some game show fans seemed to be intrigued by the potential of a Jennings’ OnlyFans page.Let me stress that I haven’t made my decision yet.

fans are fed up that some of the show’s contestants are getting some pretty “easy” questions wrong on the game show.Amid a rash of recent controversies, fans flooded Twitter this week to blast their frustration after contestants Dennis Leung, Kathy Barkey and Ittai Sopher, two-day champion, missed several questions throughout every round of the show.“Whoa! What was up with the folks on #Jeopardy tonight?” one Twitter user ranted. “For people of that caliber, those were some pretty basic questions that no one was getting…”A separate Twitter user claimed that host Ken Jennings looked “annoyed at the contestants fluffing some pretty easy questions.”Another user raged on Monday: “Holy s–t! I keep saying the Final #Jeopardy clues keep getting easier, but today’s takes the cake.

Reddit user said regarding the show’s fate.The WGA is a labor union that represents writers for movies, television, documentaries and most forms of recorded media, who have recently been on strike to advocate for improved streaming royalties and protections against AI taking their jobs. Fellow confused “Jeopardy!” fans responded to the show’s uncertainty online.“If the strike continues into the fall TV season, there won’t be any Jeopardy! at all,” another worried fan responded in the thread.A few fans suggested that the showrunners rerun questions from old episodes, but others rejected the idea.

fans in the past. “Of course they make mistakes; we are human, they are human,” Foss said to a fan who asked whether or not the hosts ever mess up while reading clues, speaking during a July 3 episode of the podcast she hosts with past show champion Buzzy Cohen, “Inside Jeopardy!” “Basically, we tell our contestants to go off of the game board, so no matter what the host says, knowing that the clue copy is almost always totally correct, our contestants are asked to go off that material,” Foss continued.“So if the host says something slightly different, the contestant should go based on what the clue reads and come up with their response based on that.”On her podcast, Foss also explained that sometimes “technical issues” come up on the show which are “really not based on a host mess-up.” “It’s based on a video clue popping up and the video doesn’t play or a video clue that’s supposed to pop up, and you see the text of the video, but you don’t see the video to support it,” she said.

“Mayim Bialik’s Breakdown.” In the YouTube video uploaded last week, Bialik, 47, read a viewer’s question that asked: “What do you do when you feel useless, irrelevant and worthless, or do you not ever feel that way?”“Great question,” the “Big Bang Theory” alum responded. “I do feel that way, and it’s kind of a hard question to answer because I know from where I’m sitting, obviously, I have a platform and I get to talk to people.“I would say I am grateful I have the opportunity to be here, and I’m still a human and I often feel like what I’m doing is not what I’m supposed to be doing, or I’m not doing it well enough, or I’m not reaching enough people, or I’m not doing it right, or I look stupid,” Bialik explained.

slamming the show’s other host Mayim Bialik. “Ken Jennings is back hosting Jeopardy. All seems right in the world.

James Holzhauer, one of the most successful contestants of all time, has an idea about why fans are getting so frustrated about the show lately: behind-the-scenes issues with the show’s crew.In a new interview with TV Insider, Holzhauer was asked about any changes he would make to the show if he could, and his answer was definitely interesting.“There has been a lot of turnover backstage, I will say,” he began. “The whole production team has turned over, so you kind of see some of the things were lost when they changed hands there.”He continued, “I think it’s still a great show, but it could use a little tweaking here and there.

criticized one Twitter user. “Not even a mashup or a ‘pun’. Just two random things.

confided to Deseret News. “I’m very happy to be retired from ‘Jeopardy!’ because I think I got away with one in the GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) tournament.”Jennings told the Utah-based outlet that the self-proclaimed “villain” of the tournament “would just wipe the floor with me if we had to play again.

came under scrutiny after several fans of the famous quiz show claimed that “The Big Bang Theory” star had inconsistent rules during Wednesday’s game.The incident occurred during the show’s Double “Jeopardy!” round when the contestants began selecting under the “Presidential Doin’s” category.“Made Henry Clay Secretary of State; 2 years after the White House, settled into a new House (of Representatives),” read the clue.Contestant Kyle Marshall rang in with the answer, “Who is Adams?”“More specific,” inquired Bialik, 47.Marshall then clarified “Who is John Adams” as Bialik declared the answer incorrect.Returning champ Ilhana Redzovic swooped in to steal the question by saying the answer was the sixth president of the US, John Quincy Adams. The Post reached out to Bialik for comment.Bialik’s need for clarification sent fans on Twitter into a tizzy as the “Call Me Kat” star did not ask for more info on a previous question about William Henry Harrison.

told Vulture in an interview published Thursday. “Alex made it his own, but it wasn’t his own the first couple of years,” he continued, referring to the show’s longtime host, Alex Trebek, who died in 2020 at 80. “A lot of what happened on ‘Jeopardy!’ came from him possessing this job for so long.

scathing message on Facebook, “Star Trek: The Next Generation” star Wil Wheaton blasted “Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings for crossing the picket line during the Writer’s Guild of America strike, giving him a stark warning.“This is a VERY small town, Ken Jennings, and we will all remember this,” Wheaton typed on the social media platform. “Your privilege may protect you right now, but we will *never* forget.”He also included the hashtag “#WGAStrong” in the post.The actor continued his thoughts in the comments section of the post, calling out those who were speaking negatively about unions.“Hey y’all, if you’re here to s–t on unions, you can f–k right off.

returning champion James Holzhauer had a rather flirty exchange Friday during the “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament.The saucy nerd banter between the two men occurred after contestant Matt Amodio chose a question under the “Authors” category.“The Detroit Free Press said ‘The Mummy’ was ‘vintage’ this novelist; ‘elegantly erotic & full of enchanting terror,’” read the clue.Amodio buzzed in with the answer “What’s Stoker.”Jennings, 48, declared that the answer was incorrect and after the two players failed to chime in, revealed the answer to be “Anne Rice.”“I also refer to James as ‘elegantly erotic but full of enchanting terror,’” the 48-year-old host said.Holzhauer, 38, retorted to the quip, saying: “Keep it in your pants, Ken.”The rather flirtatious exchange caused Mattea Roach — another returning champ — to cover her mouth as she started laughing out loud.But Holzhauer — who came in second to Jennings in the highest winnings during regular-season play — wouldn’t let the remark die.“We actually had to pause taping so Ken could take a cold shower,” tweeted Holzhauer later that day with a clip of the exchange.The Post reached out to Jennings and Holzhauer for comment.Fans of the game show were divided about how they felt about the spicy exchange.

It’s a hosting switcheroo on “Jeopardy!”

White, 66, competed against “Jeopardy!” hosts Jennings, 48, and Bialik, 47, on Wednesday’s episode of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”White earned a total of $2,000, which was later bumped to the show’s $30,000 minimum, raising money for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.She guessed letters that had already been called, exclaiming, “That’s been called?!”“What?! Oh my gosh! I’m terrible at this game!” she said.But the hosts of “Jeopardy!” were a good match for their rival game show, with Bialik winning the first round and Jennings taking the second.Neither of them solved the bonus round, but they each won over $60,000 dollars for their charities.
