Hahaha. The other thing Dave said that I thought was a bit odd was when he said his then-future wife had contacted him a while after they'd first met and asked him if he remembered having taken a photo with her, and he said something like, "and the *only* time I've ever lied to her..." Then he elaborated and said that he'd taken "like 200 photos that night." Yeah, right. If it had been the only time he'd lied to her, he would have simply said something like, "and I said that of course I remembered her" without mentioning how many other people wanted photos with him. I, too, like it better when all three contestants are in it until the end.

I wish I'd seen the ABC special. Here's something from a CNN email this morning: When the producers of "Jeopardy" announced Trebek's death, they also revealed that he produced new episodes of the game show up until the end of October, just a week and a half ago. Cabrera asked Richards: "Did you know it was going to be the last?" Richards said no, but "he was in pain and we knew it. He'd had surgery. I couldn't believe he was already back from the surgery that he'd had just two weeks before that. I had chills the entire tape day. That first show of that final week, which is, unbelievably, [scheduled to air] the week of Christmas, he gives a speech talking about togetherness, how important family is, and it will resonate even more now. It was so beautiful." Richards added, "He was at the top of his game, even though clearly he was very ill."

I watched the Today show on NBC for years. I always liked Katie Couric, but I remember being less than impressed when Savannah, who was NBC's top legal analyst, was named co-host. So I guess I understand why some might not react well to her on Jeopardy. But I grew to like her a lot. I think she's a really nice person, and an excellent interviewer. And I agree with Eld--no way is she interested in becoming the permanent Jeopardy host. Did anyone notice the pitch Mayim made for the job on her last day? At the end of the show she said her role as host was a great fit with her experience as both an actor and a neuroscientist.

Were you getting a broadcast that had been "interrupted" by a long lasting Football, Baseball game? Sorry, sports people, but that irritates me! I have a favorite show that "should" come on on Sunday evenings...it has been shortened since the new season started! Because, you know? Sports make more money. I don't mind as much the "long" game, but the announcers having to explain every play that was made in the whole game. If the "watchers" need that explanation, why do they pretend they are even watching it? Ok..off my soapbox now.
