It's time for the Jeopardy Online tryouts. I figure with the OT intellectuals we have here, that some of y'all would be interested in trying out. (They start tonight and end Thursday night.)

I made it to the in-person tryouts once in college, but I haven't been invited back since then. Anyone know someone who was on Jeopardy?

Is there a certain time to do it or do you just go to the website and take the test when you want?

Figured I'd give it a shot this year

Same here. It is amazing how much harder it gets when you are actually in person.

My brother (who is a member here but rarely posts) was on last year. He's 45 and has been trying to get on since college. He was leading into final jeopardy but missed the question. It was a pretty cool experience.

I think he went to St. Louis to tryout.

My high school chemistry teacher won his in person audition (back in the late 80s or early 90s). However, he was excluded because the producers didn't like his attitude. Apparently, he answered a question wrong and another contestant started laughing at him. My teacher threatened to kick his arse in the middle of the tryouts.

I made it to the in-person tryouts as well. Never got the call. Oh well. I will probably give it a go this year as well.

I was. I won like 6 days in a row, but didn't feel like being there anymore so I lost on purpose.

I made the in person tryouts a few years ago. I'm too ugly for TV.

Still going to take it tomorrow night.

Took it tonight. I think I did pretty good, but I blanked on 2 easy ones.

Son of a bitch. Classical arts questions kicked my arse...once again. I've got to start studying up on that shite.

Excluding those questions, I went like 31 or 32 out of 40.

But then I posted a goose egg on those classical arts questions.

ETA: Just saw answers...went 29 for 50
