JEOPARDY!!!

The Jeopardy watch party was awesome last night. More people than I knew I knew came to see me at our tiny house in Broadview Heights -- enough to overflow our living room -- and I'm still reeling from the deafening cheers at my come-from-behind victory to snap up $37,200 and come back to be tonight's returning champion!

And it's not just my friends: I've somehow been able to make a splash on the Twitterverse, thanks to my wife Eliza's obsessive retweeting of all the most... colorful of the reactions to my victory on Twitter and my self-conscious responses to them. I even got reblogged here:

Anyway, while there's no formal watch party tonight I hope you all get in front of your TV sets to see if I can continue the trend! If nothing else, hopefully this exposes more people to my dulcet vocal stylings (one Twitterer already expressed the opinion that I must be a closet phone sex operator, so I must be doing something right...)

  1. As a former Tournament of Champions finalist, I am enjoying your run on Jeopardy! I like the way you go don't waste time starting at the top of a category so you can go hunting for Daily Doubles. Get that money off the board, I say.

    I can also respect a come-from-behind player, and if you check out my games on j-archive.com, you'll see why. I hope you keep up the good work!

    Cheers,
    Doug Hicton
