Readers of this blog know that I have a sour attitude about Jeopardy's various stunts, except for the Tournament of Champions.
But there are exceptions to every rule. Today a music teacher named Ben Henri copped the $100K grand prize in Jeopardy's teachers tourney. He really impressed me as he pulled away from his competitors with a bulldozer performance in the Double Jeopardy round. Ben gets a berth in the next T of C, and he might be a genuine threat.
The linked story notes once again that Jeopardy has suspended production thanks to the lockdowns. Resuming production for this show is really tricky due to Alex Trebek's compromised immune system. While there have been rumblings about Wheel of Fortune taping new shows in a month or two, Jeopardy probably won't be churning out new eps for many months. The show runs out of fresh episodes after next week. Then it will be reruns until further notice.
Congrats to Ben Henri on a fine performance in the teachers tournament. Good luck in the T of C.
