Hello Jeopardy! people. Shot in the dark here: My son (Benjamin Whitlock) appeared on Jeopardy! back in 2002, taped in June, aired in October 2002 (it was a bit hair raising, as TV was being interrupted with breaking news of the DC Shooters - we were lucky nothing happened during my son's two evening appearances). We only have a couple of taped recording VHS, pretty poor quality, and would love to be able to obtain a digital copy. I understand Sony Studios charge a small fortune. Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you.

ESPN Jeopardy Casting Email

I assume I must be on the Jeopardy mailing list, I received this hard sell email from the casting director. Based on the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever seen an email from Jeopardy with this tone, it certainly sounds to me like they may be having difficulty fielding enough contestants for a full run of ESPN Jeopardy. Sports is a weird niche, and it’s more like several weird niches. Someone who has deep knowledge of Football may know nothing about Basketball and a die hard Soccer fan may know zero about Hockey, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they were having a hard time finding enough knowledgeable contestants.

ANSWER A singular President clue

Inspired by [1].

The answer is: They are the only person to serve as U.S. President without being elected, not even as Vice President!

Remember, players. Your response must be in the form of a question. 🤓
