I just checked the ABC schedule. I'm surprised they had the forethought to avoid spoilers with the schedule considering these are all pretaped.

I was looking for a gambling edge, ha.

James' twitter is pure gold.

They are so good that it basically comes down to buzzer speed and daily double luck.

Actually, it did.

He put on the answer "Super Bowl LII Champs" --

-- LII being the one the Eagles won two seasons ago.

I managed to get tonight's final jeopardy correct when all three of them dunces missed it.

If I ever get on Jeopardy, the Oscars would be a subject I would study for days. It's a favorite of the show.

The others would be --

Cliffnotes for the Bible

Cliffnotes for every Shakespeare Play (generally be familiar with characters, famous lines, plots, etc.)

American Presidents/Vice Presidents in order (numbers memorized, e.g., Trump in 45, Lincoln is 16)

Countries and World/State Capitals, especially Canada and African countries

Music over the last 25 years or so (especially rap which seems to be a Jeopardy favorite recently) as I rarely listen to current music. I'm good for music before 1995

As of late, major poets and their most popular lines

I would say N.Y. Times bestsellers, but that would take a LONG time and probably too much effort to make it worthwhile

Please feel free to add ......

It's funnier (and raunchier) if you post the whole exchange:

James is the best

Ken is a douche IRL obviously but he's pretty likable on the show and very entertaining

What is the record for most games of Jeopardy lost? I know Ken has choked in a few tournaments. Because I think Brad may go from never losing a game (minus Watson) to the guy with the most losses ever.

James has been off since he missed that daily double in the 1st round of the 2nd game.

If you watched his run on the regular show, that happened on the game he lost as well I think. He hit an early DD and missed it, which kept him from building an early big lead, and then he didn't get either in the DJ round.
