    No. Was told about five shows a day during a "Sports Jeopardy" audition ...

    There was an interview with Rodgers in the LA Times and he said they film 46 days per year.

    Have there been any discussions about you taking the host job on full time? Is this something you’re thinking about?

    It’s definitely a dream job for me. They film 46 days a year. I worked about six months out of the year this last year. I worked 187 days this year in Green Bay, which gives me another 178 or 179 days to film 46 episodes. So look, it’s definitely a dream job for me. It was a dream to be able to be on it and to host. If the shows turn out well and there’s some momentum, I’d be honored to be in the mix to take the job for sure.

    He also tanked the ratings, which made me quite happy.

    Legitimately jealous that Claire McNear gets to be the go-to expert on Jeopardy! from here on out.

    That’s a cool corner to own.

    That would be incredibly draining as a contestant to have to play more than 2 rounds a day.

    I read a story today somewhere, I'm sorry I don't remember where I found it so I can't link it, and it said that they film 5 episodes over 2 days and then everyone goes home. They were interviewing the guy who was the champion when they shut down last March.

    Is it the story right above yours by a few posts?? Not trying to be a smartass, just wondering.
    OK, maybe a LITTLE smartass!
