This is Jeopardy!

The Dean Martin song references Naples and pizza, but I wouldn’t expect many people to get that.
When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie, that’s amore… In Napoli, where love is king…

Yeah, that's not big with the under 65 crowd.

Which soft drink had the slogan "Never had it never will" in the 80s. It's one of those questions where my brain goes "I remember this slogan..... crap..... which soft drink was it?!"

I'm guessing 7-up, and it refers to caffeine?
 
^^^ That's what makes a good trivia question. It makes people do exactly what you just did.

This is why Mrs. Scotch and I don't do trivia night anymore. One of us would insist it's 7-Up, and the other wants to guess Sprite. So first there's the argument about which guess gets picked. And then, god forbid if we went with MY guess, and it ends up being wrong (or worse, her guess). That's the end of the fun night.
 
The middle guy Erik Nielsen that's on the show tonight is an actor / comedian.
The whole show we were trying to figure out what he was in.
When they said his last name again at the end, he popped up on IMDB.

He was in Community, Maron, the Middle and a couple of other shows.

Haha! We dubbed him the buzzer masturbator guy. He was another one of those frantic buzzer pressers. Also, he had a lot more fat hanging off his face than in that picture.
 
This morning on 'dumber than the show trivia' the question was 'what is the common name for the clavicle'. While I was saying 'neck bone... no.... shoulder bone...' the contestant on the radio said 'collar bone' and I thought DAMMIT I shouldn't be stumbling on this one - I should know this immediately!

Another question, that I said the wrong thing then immediately corrected myself on, was "Molly Ringwald played the character Claire Standish in which film?"
 
Last night, we had dumb and dumber. Dumb was contestant James saying "Let's make it a true Daily Double, Ken", and then losing all his money. But dumber was returning champ Curtis doing the exact same thing on the next question. Here we have two goose eggs, and (not surprisingly) eventual winner Lisa; who managed to win, despite having some kind of alien creature on her chest.

We had a wonderful weekend on Cape Cod, celebrating our anniversary at the Wellfleet Oysterfest. I got home just in time to catch the guy with the big beard defend his win on Jeopardy.

But guess what? It's preempted by football. Wtf? Doesn't MNF start at 8 or 8:30? Is it even on ABC?
 
Again this week there’s two MNF games.
In New Orleans, Jeopardy was preempted today because of baseball.

What exactly is going on? For decades, there was a Monday game, but no Thursday game. Now there's a Thursday game and sometimes 2 Monday games.
 
Ratings and money I guess. Now they even have nationally televised college football games on Friday nights. It’s weird.
 
I immediately guessed final Jeopardy correctly, but it was a triple stumper. I guess my time as a teenager driving around with a bottle of Wild Turkey in my trunk finally paid off.
