Do you also look at the menu of the restaurant you're going to for dinner at 11:00am to figure out what you are going to eat in 8 hours or are you normal?
It's amazing how all those folks who followed me because they saw how much I knew about stuff like history on Jeopardy are unfollowing me because of my politics, seeing as how those politics are informed by knowing things like history.
Tonight may be my last time on the @Jeopardy stage, but what an honor to be part of a show I love so deeply - and this tournament and these champions have made it an absolute joy.
Absolutely heartbreaking to lose someone who meant so much to so many. Even if this show hadn’t changed my life in so many ways, this loss would be immeasurable.
I've been very quiet about #JeopardyGOAT mostly cause I attended the taping and don't want to inadvertantly reveal anything, but what I can say is these are incredible incredible performances and some of the best games of J! I've witnessed. DO NOT MISS THIS.
My greatest glimpse of Alex did not come from my own off-camera moment. The nightly visit via Jeopardy made him larger-than-life for my daughter. For her first meeting, I barely had a sec to intro her, before she bound into his arms. He returned the embrace as if she was his own.
As someone who made it up to the stage, I will say there is still no one who can truly hold a candle to the late great Alex Trebek. He is and will continue to be dearly missed in all our homes. Sending love to his family and loyal Jeopardy crew. Happy Birthday Alex.
Any time someone wears an outstanding garment or accessory (like these glasses) I should be given 1:00 of air time to offer a rebuttal and defend my title as Jeopardy!’s Official Dandy. @Jeopardy@embassydavies
Congrats to @AmodioMatt on your amazing run. It’s no surprise what a following you’ve built being such a kind and gracious champion. Welcome to being a Jeopardy loser with the rest of us!
Them: Hey Buzzy did you see James won 10 games?
Me: Cool! That's more than I won good for him!
T: And he won like $131k
M: Yeah that's about how much I won...
T: No, not total, just tonight.
M:
My heart sinks. Few things have changed the course of my life the way this man and this show has. As I’ve come to know him there is nothing but love, respect, and admiration. Alex your whole jeopardy family is behind you. #TheRealJeopardyAllStar
Thanks to everyone for your enthusiastic support. Making some of my biggest dreams come true, first playing and now guest hosting, feels so much sweeter when I hear that my love for J! resonated with so many of you. Wishing @Jeopardy & everyone involved more decades of success.
Just before taping tonight’s game Andrew He stole a number of priceless jewels from wealthy vacationers on the French Riviera. He did not have time to change before taping.

Had a bad crash on the bike this afternoon. Miraculously walked away with a sprained hand and one broken rib (didn’t even tear my suit!). Moral of the story: wear a helmet! Could have been a lot worse for me if I hadn’t.
**SPOILER ALERT**

Congrats to @James_Holzhauer on an unbelievable run and Emma on a phenomenal game. Fun fact! @KenJennings, @austintylerro, James, and myself were all beaten by women! Destroy the patriarchy!
Folks, we are 11 days out from the ToC - which is gonna blow your freaking socks off. I am also losing my mind that I guest hosted @Jeopardy - IS THIS REAL LIFE?!
Man, @Jeopardy champs really rack up big totals now. Back in my day, if you had a runaway you’d bet $0 and take the piss out of Trebek, the way nature intended.
Everyone I spoke to today was just hanging on. We are all white knuckling it through the end of the year. Be kind to one another. Check in with the people around you.
The thing that really stands out to me as I rewatch this year's #TournamentOfChampions is what a great group of champions this was. Fun and exciting games across the board thanks to them! #Jeopardy
Everyone, I messed up. Last night *during final jeopardy* my kid lost a tooth! We all got to bed late and I FORGOT TO SWITCH OUT THE TOOTH FOR MONEY. I woke up to an extremely disappointed 7yo. Tooth fairy needs to come correct tonight!
Me: Look how big the moon is!
7yo: It’d be better if it were blue...
Me: Why?
7yo: Cause we’d be eating Dominos.
Me: Huh?
7yo: We only eat Dominos once in a blue moon.
Kid payed me like a fiddle.
Alex Trebek and I were connected by both joy and pain. I shared some thoughts about his struggles and my own, and how Jeopardy! helped each of us face them.

Out of nowhere Alexa just announced that it was Allison Janney’s birthday and started listing off her roles and accolades. It was frightening and also what I imagine living with @louisvirtel would be like.
With another 10 day (at least) champ - this season of @Jeopardy is giving 1998 MLB home run record chase… I can’t believe how stacked this ToC is gonna be!
Has @Jeopardy asked any of @TheMuppets to guest host? Kermit is probably too busy but maybe Jan or Rowlf? Pepe would be amazing but I think he would struggle with clue reads...
Last night I had a dream I was with Alex Trebek. He had opened a very fancy restaurant “Trebek’s” whose signature dish was Lobster Thermidor. He was telling me that Wednesday was the day civilians could get on NASA space flights and he was supposed to be going on one that week.
Think about this: for the past 6-8 weeks Emma has been walking around a world (understandably) obsessed with @James_Holzhauer and how he couldn’t be beat. All the while knowing she had done it... what must that have felt like?!
Anyone who watches "The Buzzy Cohen Collection" of @Jeopardy episodes on @netflix while also "chilling" is legally required to name their child after me.
I remember being backstage before this last game, filled with excitement - three great champions playing at the highest level.
And also I was so sad to know that it was the end of my guest hosting stint.
Tune in tonight to see the culmination of their incredible feats!
