It’s Day 6 of the first 14-day segment (part one of the four-part Champions Wildcard.) That will last through December 18th and will feature 108 former champions (1, 2, and 3 day winners) from Season 37 and 38.
If that was a lot to digest, here’s a more visual explanation from the Jeopardy! website.
(This week will be a little odd because the 9th quarterfinal game wraps up on Thursday, so the semifinals will be Friday, Monday, and Tuesday. I’ll be continuing to publish all my full recaps right here on Substack, and maybe or maybe not posting on social media (links on my Linktree).
Phil Hoffman
Phil has a much different look from his original episodes - much like Alex Trebek, he initially appeared with a mustache but has now returned clean-shaven. He’s wearing a light blue shirt and black blazer tonight (I maintain my opinion that outfits like this really need a tie!)
Camron Conners
This floral tie is beautiful!! Floral ties like this always seem Buzzy Cohen-esque to me. Camron paired it with a unique light tan blazer and — I noticed at the very end of the show when he stepped out from behind the podium — dark red pants! (though I failed to get a screenshot of those.)
Lucy Ricketts
Lucy is wearing a simple fitted shirt in a pretty shade of dark green. I noticed her necklace was the perfect length to avoid hitting the microphone. Lucy wore glasses in her initial episodes but none tonight. (Side note: I met Lucy at the 2022 ToC and she was SO NICE!)
Ken Jennings
Ken has soo many similar blue ties I almost gave up on checking this one! But I found it and he wore it once previously on 1/10/23.
