Jeopardy Online Contestant Try out

[+ purplekow]

If you have ever wanted to try out for Jeopardy, they are offering on line tests right now. Tonight was the east coast test. Tomorrow is midwest and the next day the west. You need to sign up in advance. It is a 50 question test with 15 seconds to type in the answers. Test is at 8pm local time.

I think I got about 40 of 50 correct but I had brain freeze on 3 questions which could definitely have put me in consideration for the show. Could not come up with Heidi Klum kept thinking Seal's ex wife Oscar Wilde in the Reading Gaol Keep thinking its a gay guy why cant I get it and Stephen King as author of 11/22/63 Also did not recall the author of Brokeback Mountain. I not only dont deserve to be on the show for that but I may need to stop sleeping with me.

I believe you can go to Jeopardy.com to register.

Thanks for heads up on this! I registered last nite after reading your post for the test tonite which started at 6:00pm PST. I'm typing this at 6:08 which I'm guessing is an indicator of how well I did since I missed the first question. It didn't let me progress to a second question and the screen then only showed an exclamation point. Sort of a thanks for playing. And to think I already sent my best suit to the cleaners anticipating a call back for me to drive to Sony in Culver City for a live audition.

 

I suppose I should be glad. They say the camera adds 10 lbs and I simply don't have that margin of error. I also would have demanded a filter for the lens. I can only pull off bar lighting at this point and the studio lighting would have captured more than America would want to see.

Gee I think I got the first question wrong when I took it. I was allowed to answered all 50 questions Think you may have had a glitch.
