Time's up, Joy Behar will return tomorrow going for $100,000.

Joy did a solid job I thought. Kind of annoying we only made it through 10 questions. But I thought she did reasonably well.

I had trouble with the Chicago Hope & the Famous Medal questions. I did know the loris one.

How strange - the show I saw yesterday did not have Joy Behar on it. It had a woman contestant who misread a question and left with the consolation prize and a gentleman who made it to the $100K question.

That was the second show (re-run) in two-a-day markets:

I wonder why the station aired that one and not the new one. I didn't check, but maybe it had something to do with election stuff (although the show airs at 10AM so there wouldn't be much to talk about at that time).
