Is this CVON all of a sudden?!?

It looks like they're starting reruns. So I wonder if that means that Matt Amodio won't be eligible for next year's Tournament of Champions since he would still be an active player when the new season starts. If so, that would be a lucky break for the competitors since he would be the heavy favorite if he were in it.

wow, didn't see this coming.

 

Apparently they're going back to guest hosts.

They need to give Winnie Cooper a shot. She's a big math nerd.

So because he asked a female co-host on air on a podcast if she ever took "booby pictures” he lost a job? 
 

 

I’m never becoming famous

Richards decided to step down as host. His decision. He's still the producer.

This explains so much.

 

Another host under fire.

Mike Richards now fired by Sony

So all of you prematurely saying he lost his job, can now recommence.

It sounds like production is a mess right now.

For the record, Star Trek is awesome and a lot of animated shows are really good.

And just like that, Matt Amodio begins the new season with another phenomenal performance. This guy is an all-time great.

30 consecutive wins. "What's..."

Well, that was a pretty depressing way for a streak like that to end. Never finds a Daily Double, languishes in third place going into Final Jeopardy, and is the only one who gets it wrong anyway.

Seemed like he was tanking the whole show to me.  Very off performance for Matt.

From the look on Matt's face throughout the show I thought that the producers rigged the click in devices so his was a second late.
But I've also suspected forever that the left most "champion's" podium had a clicker that was half-a-second faster than the others,
despite official denials by Trebek.

Plus the categories seemed chosen to throw him off.

I suspect that the reasons champions tend to win on the buzzer is that they have more experience with it. I know the newcomers do practice games and all, but it probably just doesn't compare to when there are live bullets flying. I recall Ken Jennings saying that one of his advantages during his run was that he had learned the rhythms of Alex's voice so he was just able to time his buzzer better than his opponents.

Also there's no way the producers would rig against a champion. Big-time champions are good for the show.

I don't think it was "rigged," it just seemed like he was really off his game - very unusual for a guy that seemed to know pretty much everything about everything.

Well, I think the fact that the guy who beat him that night actually looked pretty good the following game (unlike Nancy Zerg, the woman who unseated Ken Jennings and then went out with a whimper the next night) kinda validates the idea that he was just beaten by a solid player on a night where it just broke wrong for him.

Somehow Eagles linebacker Davion Taylor was cited in one of the clues in tonight's game. It took me a second or two to process that "Holy Cow, they're actually talking about a backup Eagles player for some weird reason!"
