This sounds like fun. I'd be willing to be on a WorldQuest team. I'm pretty strong on history and moderately strong on geography.
While I've never made it to Jeopardy (the test is REALLY hard), I was on the University of Pittsuburgh College Bowl Team in 1979. We came in second in regional play.
Well, I did make to Jeopardy!, but the timing couldn't be worse. :-(
Mike:
What do you mean -- the timing couldn't be worse? Were you actually asked to go out to Hollywood but you couldn't? That stinks!
Ah. I was unclear.
I actually appeared on Jeopardy! I lost.
But the timing of the (current) WorldQuest competition is terrible for me; I'd like to do it but don't have the time right now.
Mike,
I've had three friends make it to Jeopardy. One won one game, then lost. One lost the first time but was asked back because one of the answers she gave was right after all. Another was a Seniors Tourney player (she either won the whole thing or came in second).
What they say about Jeopardy! (don't forget that exclamation point; Alex Trebek isn't nearly as urbane in person as he is on TV) is true: Knowing the answers isn't the hard part. The hard part is wrestling with the signaling button.
Mike,
I wonder if I saw that episode. How recently were you on the show?
I'd love to join a team Joe.
So do we have at least two people interested in forming a team? Are there two more?
Matt,
The episode was taped in February 2001 and broadcast the following May. People have told me that they've seen it since in reruns.
Mike
Speaking of Jeopardy, I came across this link, which features all of the SNL Celebrity Jeopardy segments, in my opinion the best thing to happen to the show since Tina Fey.

I'd be interested in playing also. Please let me know if you need another player!
Given that we didn't seem able to get four people to commit to a team early enough, I signed up as a single player. If we do wind up getting four people, I'm willing to call to see if we can still field a team from Mount Lebanon.
