Talk:Jeopardy!

Parodies
Apparently no one has read the book I posted about. "Trebek himself says in his book The Answer Is...(pg 229) that his favourite impersonation is by Eugene Levy in several sketches from the 1980s on SCTV." Do I have to post a picture of the page? AMCKen (talk) 06:15, 4 March 2022 (UTC)


 * Probably a good addition to Trebecs page? Might not be notable here though. Eruditess (talk) 15:50, 2 November 2022 (UTC)

accommodations for Eddie Timanus and other visually impaired contestants
Current version of the article does not mention Eddie Timanus explicitly but mentions accommodations for visually impaired contestants twice, once under the heading "Gameplay" (Contestants who are visually impaired or blind are given a card with the category names printed in Braille before each round begins, and an audible tone is played after the clue has been read aloud.) and once under the subheading "Final Jeopardy!" (Visually impaired or blind contestants type in their responses and wagers with a Braille keyboard.).

Is it accurate, that the keyboard which visually impaired contestants receive is a "Braille keyboard"? (And if so, has that always been true?) My strong suspicion is no; it's just a normal QWERTY keyboard. (Also, is the term "Braille keyboard" even meaningful? I tried looking that term up in Wikipedia, which has articles for Perkins Brailler and Braille technology. The latter article says, without citation, Braille computer keyboards are extremely rare.)

This was briefly discussed on this Talk Page in 2008, without resolution, here: Talk:Jeopardy!/Archive 2. See also this posting to Reddit:, which cites this specific 2005 edit that appears to have been made by Eddie Timanus:. That edit summary stated, I used a standard computer keyboard, not a braille notetaker.

Also, the official Jeopardy website discusses the point here: Only minor adjustments were made to accommodate Eddie: He was given the category names printed in Braille on a card at the start of each round, and a keyboard to enter his Final Jeopardy! response. This was truly an historic event.

Therefore, the article should not state that visually impaired contestants use a "Braille keyboard" for their Final Jeopardy responses, unless and until some reliable sources are found on that point.

 * Agreed, you won't want to add information about a braille keyboard into the article unless it has supporting WP:RS. But it is all truly quite interesting none the less. Eruditess (talk) 23:00, 3 January 2023 (UTC)

"Current" vs "Prior" hosts? in Infobox
Does anyone else think there would be some benefit in delineating "Current hosts" vs "Prior hosts" ?

In the Infobox. Let me know... Thanks — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 15:54, 17 January 2023 (UTC)


 * As per the template instructions: "presenter - The show's presenters or hosts. Presenters are listed in original credit order followed by order in which new presenters joined the show. Years or seasons should not be included." Magitroopa (talk) 15:58, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
 * ah sorry, I hadn't actually checked that. It seems quite onerous with regards to shows which will go on for 50 or 60 seasons and have dozens of presenters... But fair enough, my concern is with the template itself and not this specific implementation and so I'll consider bringing it up over there. Thanks — Shibboleth ink  (♔ ♕) 15:59, 17 January 2023 (UTC)
