First, don't miss Stefan Goodreau's palindrome quiz!Tonight was our second attempt at a Jeopardy!-viewing Hangout, since the first was such a happy and satisfying success! Here's the original post on the episode we watched today. Of course Jeopardy!'s on hiatus, and this week the semifinals and finals of the most recent Teachers Tournament are being shown. (Go, John Pearson!)
This time, I informed just a handful of people about the Hangout as opposed to publicizing it to the general public like last time. I also wanted to be open to the possibility of posting tonight's Hangout to the blog. I set up the Hangout correctly for that, and we did even broadcast to YouTube for about 55 seconds. But ooh, sorry: I've since deleted the evidence! I haven't wasted the hair and makeup though - I'm blogging from McDonald's right now.
Andy and I were again graced with the presence of Josh Frumkin. Once we were settled, I turned my camera to face the TV so the three of us could watch the show and talk during the commercial breaks and after the show. Like last time, it was great fun if I do say so myself. And after the show, the guys had good ideas that I intend to run with - Invite a few what Andy calls "panelists," and we'll watch the show together the same way we did tonight. These will be Jeopardy! notables and/or people relevant to that day's episode, such as the contestants playing. After we've watched the show together, then we'll start recording our discussion on it to post to the blog afterward. Brilliant. What do you guys think? Also, who would you like to see on the panel? You can tweet me or visit our Facebook page if you can't leave a comment here. This Jeopardy! fan is pumped up about the possibilities!
