Jeopardy! Auditions
I just got this from the Jeopardy! Facebook feed:

I hope silvercamaro doesn't have bad weather on her way to the audition
Suitguy is not bitter.
feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive
The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.

Well, somebody needs to touch the board to reveal the clues. --BobBob Juch wrote:I just got this from the Jeopardy! Facebook feed:

And I guess they really had no way to redo the game unless they had another car around ready to be given away. --Bobjarnon wrote:Manuela shouldn't even bother trying out for Jeopardy!

Re: Jeopardy! Auditions
I have heard that Vanna White is on WoF as sort of a parody of game shows which had an attractive woman doing something completely unnecessary. This is from the Wikipedia article for WoF:
"Griffin chose White because he felt that she was capable of activating the puzzle board letters (which is the primary role of the Wheel hostess) better than anyone else who had auditioned."

There would be afraid of a potential uproar by the viewing public if they ever fired Vanna.

Re: Jeopardy! Auditions
I remember that Vanna came into the contestant's room and did her best tomake us feel welcome and put us at ease. She seemed a very nice person. We didn't see Pat until he walked out onto the stage.
