‘Jeopardy!’ bosses back mistake-prone hosts: ‘They are human’

fans in the past. “Of course they make mistakes; we are human, they are human,” Foss said to a fan who asked whether or not the hosts ever mess up while reading clues, speaking during a July 3 episode of the podcast she hosts with past show champion Buzzy Cohen, “Inside Jeopardy!” “Basically, we tell our contestants to go off of the game board, so no matter what the host says, knowing that the clue copy is almost always totally correct, our contestants are asked to go off that material,” Foss continued.“So if the host says something slightly different, the contestant should go based on what the clue reads and come up with their response based on that.”On her podcast, Foss also explained that sometimes “technical issues” come up on the show which are “really not based on a host mess-up.” “It’s based on a video clue popping up and the video doesn’t play or a video clue that’s supposed to pop up, and you see the text of the video, but you don’t see the video to support it,” she said.

a whopping 23 times.“In this game, this has to be a record, 23 triple stumpers, and it’s something we never like to see,” producer Sarah Foss said on the “Inside ‘Jeopardy!” podcast.While no one is certain as to why there were a record number of clues left unanswered former champion Buzzy Cohen did give one possible reason.“Not good, you know it’s the last game before lunch, maybe everyone’s a little sleepy or something, a little hungry, but that’s a tough stat to carry with you,” Cohen said.Of all 23 triple stumpers, 7 happened in the first round while the last 16 occurred in “Double Jeopardy!”The large number of triple stumpers, produced the lowest Coryat scores, a contestant’s score if wagering isn’t factored in.One of the clues that became a triple stumper featured Vice President Kamala Harris.“This Californian is number two in line,” the clue read, according to J! Archive. Hoping not to draw too much attention to the painful viewing fans saw the week prior, the producers brushed off the show as something minuscule before moving into the next segment of the podcast.“Thankfully I’ve seen nothing go viral about it so it’s not gonna go viral, we’ve mentioned it briefly on the pod and we’ll forget it ever happened,” Foss concluded.Many fans were not thrilled with the contestants’ performance during the now infamous match, with some calling it the worst episode ever.“My God @Jeopardy how boring is tonights show.

‘Jeopardy!’ champion Buzzy Cohen reveals secrets about show taping, buzzer and more
Buzzy Cohen, the champion best known by his nickname “Mr. Personality,” which was handed down by late host Alex Trebek, revealed that his famous nine-day winning streak actually only took place over the course of two days.The music executive told Insider that “Jeopardy!” tapes five shows — a week’s worth — in a single day with breaks long enough to allow winners to change outfits between tapings.Cohen, who took home over $164,600 after playing 10 games in 2016, said the process was “exhausting.”“That is certainly something that I think people are surprised by,” he said. “It really makes the fact that people can go on these long runs even more impressive because it’s endurance as well as mental and physical stamina.”The secret is just one of five Cohen shared with the outlet and plans to expose in his new podcast, “This Is Jeopardy! The Story of America’s Favorite Quiz Show,” a Sony production that was launched Wednesday.Cohen — who returned to win the 2017 Tournament of Champions for the $250,000 jackpot before guest-hosting the program four years later in the wake of Trebek’s death — said the show explores how “Jeopardy!” became an American institution and has enjoyed 59 years of success.The podcast aims to take fans behind the scenes, including from Cohen’s own experience playing on and hosting the program.When he guest-hosted the Tournament of Champions in 2021, Cohen was surprised to find how busy the host is despite not getting much airtime.“What’s kind of surprising is how little you’re maybe on-screen, but you are reading the clue, calling a contestant, making a ruling, asking them to select,” Cohen told the outlet.
