Also "Emergency" vs. "Emergency One".  Or something.

Maybe.

This whole deal is driving us crazy 'cuz:

a: here in Southeastern MI, the "regular", so
to speak, Jeopardy! feed is at 7:30 pm, following
Wheel of Fortune.  Unlike the rest of the civilized
world, where Jeopardy! comes first [1]

b: and also, unlike most of the civilized world,
Jeopardy is NOT carried on the local NBC Blue
Network affiliate (or even, in some parts,
an O&O!), but is broadcast on NBC Red, namely
Detroit station WDIV.  (Guess what "channel"
that's on, eh?)

c: however, the "College Championship" is
carried on WZYZ, which is, yes, an ABC affiliate.

Oh, and for more craziness, the standard program
these weeks is being hosted by Ken Jennings, while
the College tournament has that shill for some
memory fake-aid or another.

[1] Well, at least this week, when NBC is
broadcasting the Olympics starting at 7:30 pm,
they've been accomodating us by moving Jeopardy!
to the proper 7 pm slot, and, well, I guess
transporting Wheel into the "out there", or something.

The three semifinalists with the highest winning totals will appear in the 
finals. The fourth will be saved for a forthcoming "Second Chance Tournament," 
for which they will also invite the best/most memorable contestants from the 
past season who didn't make it into the Tournament of Champions.

The "Super Jeopardy!" tournament that aired on ABC in the summer of 1990 had 
four contestants in each of the quarterfinal matches. Here's the first episode:

The worlds! of World News Now! and Jeopardy! collide!

['Doug Elrod' via World News Now Discussion List]

    Apparently, current anchors Andrew Dymburt and Mona Kosa Abdi have recorded 
clues which will
appear in the first day of the semifinal games of the Jeopardy! National 
College Championship (this
Thursday, Feb. 17, 2022).  Enjoy

BTW, does anyone know how they're going to do the finals?  It appears that 36 
students, representing
as many schools, were in the quarterfinals.  And so 12 students go on to the 
semifinals.  But
if you have four games there, that results in four students in the finals.  Has 
Jeopardy! ever
had FOUR contestants at a time, in any of its formats?  Thanks for any info.

-Doug Elrod (d...@cornell.edu)
P.S.  That guy today probably doesn't use a ThighMaster -- He *IS* the Thigh 
Master! ;-)
