The ToC is already off to a great start! Today is the second of nine quarterfinal games and you can see the full lineup here on the Jeopardy! website.
I’m posting occasionally on various social media (mostly Instagram right now), but this newsletter is the best place to find daily recaps, photos, and announcements.
Started off with a nice audience pan!
And a Sam Buttrey cameo during the anecdotes.
Cris Pannullo
Cris is wearing a new grey sweater he didn’t wear during his original run! He paired it with a solid black dress shirt. He also did his signature “thumbs up” pose during the intro.
Below are Cris’s outfits from his original run (I put them in a 5-day grid so you can see how he often repeated outfits on the same day of the week!)
Ben Goldstein
Ben dressed similarly in his original run, though I don’t think he wore this exact suit jacket before. He previously wore three different pins (featuring, respectively: a cavalier king charles spaniel, a yorkie, and Alex Trebek.) I couldn’t figure out what tonight’s pin was and kept thinking it looked like a hot dog…
Then I searched for hot dog pins just to quiet my obsessive brain and… IS IT???
Jared Watson
Jared really pulled out all the stops with his outfit tonight! In his original run, he dressed more casually in button down shirts without a tie or jacket. But tonight he not only wore a new shirt (in my favorite color!), but also added a suit and tie (shiny!) Great job, Jared.
In case you missed it, here is Jared (on the axe!) with his killer Jeopardy! theme song cover.
Ken Jennings
Here’s a new (I’m pretty sure?) turquoise paisley tie for Ken tonight! I think his wardrobe team likes to debut new ties for holidays and tournaments.
FJ Bumper
The judges are working hard tonight! And it’s a special occasion, so Michael Davies is at the table, too (I think he’s usually in the control room.)
