What is...? A Jeopardy! Podcast

It's our last episode with Guy Branum (for now!) and Jeopardy sends him off in style with a week of QUEENS! Absolute QUEENS! We're spoiled for choice when it comes to lovably nerdy anecdotes of the week, Ken says some dirty words, we get excited about what November holds for us, and we theorize about the matchmaking potential of the Alex Trebek stage.

If you want another little hit of Guy Branum, why not join our patreon? We're releasing his bonus episode later this week, where we play the special themed board mentioned on today's episode! $5/month gets you access to that and all our previous bonus content, not to mention access to our discord where folks are having daily Jeopardy episode discussions, Traitors talk, and Gilded Age debates!!

What a week! Guy Branum is with us again to break down Anthony Cantor's run (ooOOO), we're spoiled for choice when it comes to anecdote of the week, and it's a very Ken's Korner-heavy episode. Plus: we take a delightful detour into programming Ken's theoretical RuPaul's Drag Race episode.

If you want even more Guy Branum in your ears, why not join our patreon? We'll be releasing another bonus episode next week featuring Guy and a very special Jeopardy board. $5/month gets you access to all our bonus content and our discord! patreon.com/jeopardypodcast

Thanks as always to the Jeopardy! Fan and the j-archive.

It's week 2 of the Guy Branum administration here at WIAJP, and we have a lot of fun recapping this historic week of games! There are also MANY inside baseball digressions into the television industry and LA politics. Plus, Emily and the fans are fuming in unison! Boards are trod! Regrets are rued! And we get a special message from one of this week's contestants.

If you'd like some special messages yourself, maybe you should join our Patreon! Support the show and get immediate access to our bonus content for just $5/month. Patreon.com/jeopardypodcast

Thanks as always to the Jeopardy! Fan and the J! Archive.

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.

If you'd like even more WIAJP, why not join our Patreon? $5/month gets you access to all our bonus content and our discord, which is chock-full of great folks talkin' J!

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.

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.

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.

The most prestigious awards in television are BACK, as we hand out our Jeoppy Awards for Season 41 of Jeopardy!, from the classic Response and Anecdote of the Year to the best names and misleading headlines from the year that was. And of course, the monologue returns, poking fun at all of the major stories from the season and almost certainly being the only comedy monologue about Jeopardy! to air anywhere on earth. Plus, this is John's last main feed episode (for now), so he says goodbye, and Emily reveals her plans for the show.

One of those plans includes the Patreon, the only place to get our Masters review (coming next week) and a slew of other bonus content, plus access to our Discord. Join today at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.

Who else could it be? A 31-game winning streak, a great sense of humour, and a hell of a lot of orange, Jamie Ding joins us to discuss his amazing run on the Alex Trebek Stage. We ask about his prep process, how he feels watching the ToC stack up with amazing contestants, his worst anecdote, his biggest purchase so far, and what it's like to hug Ben Affleck.

And if you want to feel like you're getting a great hug from a celebrity, why not join the Patreon? Just $5/month gets you a new bonus episode every month, including just this week, when Emily and John set out to pick a new cohost for Emily the only way they know how: with an absurd 32-person bracket. Get that plus the entire back catalogue of bonus episodes, access to the Discord, and MORE at patreon.com/jeopardypodcast.

The end of the 42nd season of Jeopardy! is here, and it ends with a week of absolute BANGERS, including what is potentially the Game of the Year on Thursday. We also get introduced to one of the more memorable players of the season in Grace Biermann, Caleb Groen's superchampion run comes to an end, and we dive deep on Billy Bob Thornton and Sling Blade.

If you want to feel as good as marrying Angelina Jolie does (probably), then why not donate to the show? You'll get a brand-new bonus episode every single month, immediate access to our entire back catalogue of bonus eps, and access to our Discord, which is a wonderful community.
