Jeopardy!

Today Clell and Betty Barker, some GREAT friends of ours treated us to a visit to three tapings of Jeopardy! Clell and Betty entertain us when we come to LA and always have such interesting and fun things to do! Our friends drove clear across LA, during morning traffic time, no less, and picked us up at Josh and Janice. After the taping, we returned to Thousand Oaks where they treated us to a great steak! I don't know how we deserve such wonderful hospitality.

The taping of Jeopardy was quite a production. The set was beautiful! Our T.V. doesn't do it justice. Unfortunately, we were not allowed to take in a camera. (These pics were taken from a web site) I was once again impressed with the intelligence of the contestants. Something I have always wondered about was whether or not the contestants have any afore knowledge of the questions. Well, they don't. A new champion emerged during the first game and she remained the champion throughout the three tapings winning around $50,000. The shows will be aired April 16-18. There was a shot of the audience. We were sitting in the second row. I was wearing an emrald gree paisley top and brown jacket! Maybe we'll be seen for perhaps a "nano-second".

It was suggested by the host during a break, that on the showing dates we invite friends over and "just happen to watch the show". Of course the plan would be to "fail to mention" we were at the taping of the show. We could impress them with our knowledge of the answers and perhaps place some bets on the final question! Oh, well, we probably will have forgotten the answers by then!

"Please tell that lady in the second row with the green top and brown jacket to quit yelling out the answers and give the contestants a chance!"

If Phil had not had enough excitment for the day, after we returned, he went with Josh to a LA Clippers' game!
