    I was lucky enough to appear on Jeopardy while he was the host. Unfortunately, you get so little time to interact with him due to both the rapid pace of the filming schedule and the laws whose purpose is to prevent match fixing. He was truly a pleasant man and I will miss his particular hosting quirks.

      Any tips for getting on Jeopardy? It's a bucket list item of mine

        Idk. Doing well on the online test is key, but I share Ken's opinion that you can't really study for it. It's trivia: you're either the kind of person who has picked this stuff up or not.

        Once you get past the online test for the in-person test and interview they really just want someone who can be relaxed and personable and speak loud enough for the cameras.

          idk, I've noticed some repeating patterns on recent watchings, it might give you a slight advantage if you memorize alot of the answers in the last few seasons to try and remember stuff because it's likely one of them will come up.
