I’m posting occasionally on various social media, but this newsletter is the best place to find daily recaps, photos, and announcements.
Justin White
Justin did not wear a tie in his original run, so this is a nice upgrade! I love striped ties like this because the pattern is so easy to see on screen.
In his first episode, Justin wore one of my favorite color shirts!
Original appearance details:
- first episode 7/11/23
- won 1 game (vs. James Tyler & Erin Sheedy)
- lost to Ittai Sopher (alongside Mia McGill)
Lisa Sriken
During her anecdote, Lisa mentioned shopping for new Jeopardy! outfits and I think it paid off because this blouse is *beautiful*. In her original run, Lisa was known for hilarious sense of humor and (by me, at least) for her floral print blouses. But this new print is a much larger scale which really pops on camera, especially with the stunning contrasting colors.
You can find Lisa’s Sezane floral blouse on Poshmark here.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 3/28/23
- won 2 games (vs. Nicole Rudolph & Mara Lasko, vs. Jordan David & Iris Masucci)
- lost to Sharon Stone (alongside Jacob Lang)
Taylor Clagett
Taylor wore a suit with a pocket square in all his original appearances. Tonight he is wearing a grey suit with a denim-look shirt, along with a gold ribbon pin representing childhood cancer awareness.
He talked in his anecdote about donating to the Taylor Anne Foundation, named for his niece who passed away from brain cancer at a young age.
Taylor wore an American flag pin in two of his original episodes.
Original appearance details:
- first episode 7/21/23
- won 2 games (vs. Nik Berry & Ben Sasamoto, vs. Simona Fine & Ian Foutz)
- lost to Julie Sisson (alongside Andrew Knowles)
Ken Jennings
This is the 3rd time Ken has worn this tie in Season 40, he also wore it 3x in Season 39.
