Watch my friend on Jeopardy

Jeopardy has this big tournament airing now that started with something like 150 past five-time champions, college toruney winners, etc. They will duke it out until they eventually pare it down to two who will take on Ken Jennings for $2 million. Anyway, my wife and I play a pub trivia game every week and our teammate is in the tourney (he was a five time winner in the '90s). His show airs next Friday, April 8th. Look for Phil Yellman. I don't want to give away what happens, but it will be a good game.

Yeah, it's a tenuous maggot link, but what else are you going to be doing at 7:30 or whatever next Friday?

I'm in the contestant pool myself, but they haven't picked me to be on the show yet. Obviously I have no chance until this tournament is over with. I'm probably eligible for about another six months or so.

So he won his first round game. His next game airs on May 5th. He's pretty funny on TV. He's got this kind of Rodney Dangerfiled tic after he answers a question!

No, he hasn't beat Ken Jennings yet! Ken basically takes a bye until the finals. Once they get the 150 or so other champions knocked out to the final two they take on Ken. It will be a three day final and however wins takes home $2 million.
