I got an in-person audition last year in Chicago for Jeopardy! ... so I'm still waiting to hear.

I hope I'll be home in time to see your son play. I hope he did well!

You were probably in the same group with my son. He went to the auditions in Chicago. It was a loooong time before they called. At least a year.

I watched it today. Too bad he didn't win the final question. I was rooting for him.

My husband watches regularly, what fun, I will sort of know somebody on the show.
You ever notice how smart you are at home...... :thumbup:

Tim did very well, he really knew his stuff and had the highest score before Final Jeopardy and he's good looking too.

Tim did a good job nothing to be ashamed. It's nice to watch someone you kinda know. He looks like a nice guy. Be proud. Sue

Well, I'm studying... just in case. I don't want to get the call and then think, "gee, I could have learned that stuff a year ago!"

Your son did a great job! And I was hoping for him to win too... but Jeopardy! is a real gamble. I usually do pretty well with the game but that last question is so random that I miss it about half the time.

And after having been through that in-person audition... it isn't as easy as it looks. Anyone who makes it through a couple games has a high tolerance for stress. (I had to run off to the Cheesecake Factory in the bottom of the John Hancock Building to recover!)
