Show Notes
Tristan Williams cements his superchamp status this week...just in time to lose it to Chris D'Angelo, who begins a little run of his own after a fortuitous math error in Final works out in his favor. Also this week, we get a quintessential Canadian contestant we love, Ken puts in a very strong nominee for Ken's Korner of the Year, and we dive deep on Sputnik. Plus, "Quiz Lady" writer and producer Jen D'Angelo–who also happens to be Chris' sister–sends in a note about finally being able to watch her brother play on Jeopardy! after years of him trying and how he inspired the genesis of "Quiz Lady" in the first place. If you want more content from our very own "Quiz Lady" (that's Emily), why not donate to our Patreon? You'll get a new bonus episode every month, immediate access to our entire back catalogue and to our Discord, and lots of other fun stuff. Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.

The torch has been passed to our newest guest host: Guy Branum! And he's just in time to celebrate both Emily's birthday and a week of absolute queens on the show. Rian falls victim to the season 43 curse, Emily unsuppresses her Mr. Big memories, and we bring the same attention to detail to finishing writing the recaps as we do to getting this episode out on time.

It's Handsome Kevin Seccia's farewell (for now!) episode, and we rue our childish hopes for Nikolas's run. Kevin quibbles about a wrestling clue and Producer Dan agrees, we try our hands at the ooOOO, and Kevin gives us some knife recommendations on his way out the door. Something else Kevin recommends: joining our Patreon! $5/month gets you access to our discord server as well as all of our bonus content. That includes the new episode that will be coming out this week, starring HKS and some of our other pals from The Great North writers' room playing some fun party games. www.patreon.com/jeopardypodcast This episode was produced by Producer Dan.

It's our second week back with Handsome Kevin Seccia, and dare I say we have our first breakout star of the season??? We do so much digging into the history of Groundhog Day you can basically call us Fred le Marmotte. The Greek Theater gets multiple shoutouts. We also "give dap" to our favorite responses and anecdotes of the week, including some prime bitchy Ken moments. Thanks as always to the Jeopardy! Fan and the J! Archive. This episode was produced by Producer Dan. Music is by Nate Heller. Art is by Max Wittert. We'll be bringing you some more bonus content soon at the Patreon! patreon.com/jeopardypodcast
Well well well, looks like we CAN do the podcast without John! (even though the first time I tried to publish this I failed horribly) Emily is joined by friend of the podcast, Handsome Kevin Seccia, to recap the first week of season 43. Ken gets the Jeopardy! writers too online, Andrew Garfield seduces us down to his dungeon, Emily meets the Greatest Showman, and we play a new game: married or divorced? Special thank you, as always, to The Jeopardy! Fan and the J-Archive. This episode was produced by Producer Dan. Music is by Nate Heller. Art is by Max Wittert.
