Brandon has been loving Jeopardy lately. It’s become a bit of a tradition for Brandon and Jaden to sit together at watch Jeopardy at night. Brandon has surprised us with knowing the answers to quite a few questions. (or knowing the questions to lots of answers, I should say).
Here are some of the funny comments he has made concerning this famous game show:
**I want to just drive and get Dad on Jeopardy. That’s my dream.
**Is there Kid Jeopardy? I want to be on it.
**We are so lucky to get a new Jeopardy. There aren’t any champions on tonight.
**I just want to be on Jeopardy then I’d be rich. I’d get like $20,000. I could buy Lego Rockband.
**One Saturday night we had my brother Tyler and his wife watch the kids. Before they came, our Jeopardy conversation went like this:
Brandon: “Oh good, Tyler can watch Jeopardy with me tonight.”
Me: “I don’t know if it’s on because it’s a Saturday.”
Brandon: “Oh yeah. You know Alex–the guy that asks the questions? Last night he said ‘Okay we’ll see you again on Monday!’ so I know that it’s not on tonight.”
**Brandon and Annie were rooting for some contestant named Dave. They were sad when he lost. They get attached to the “champions.” 🙂 hee hee.
I’ll admit, sometimes I join in the Jeopardy fun, even though I tease about its high degree of nerdiness. Nerdiness is cool. Usually I’m crocheting something because I have to be doing something while watching TV. 🙂 I really like to make fun of Alex though. He sure can make some condescending comments to those contestants that makes me want to slap his now mustache-less face. And sometimes he misprounces words and it’s so funny. Like one night the question was “Who is Don Juan?” And Alex pronounced it “Don Joo-ann.” It cracked me up like no other. I wish I could think of some more examples but just take my word for it. 🙂 And I love when they do Jeopardy spoofs on SNL. Have you seen the Amy Poeler version of Sharon Osborne? Classic. Jaden and I imitate that all the time. 🙂
Anyway, just a super random little post dedicated to Jeopardy love. And, HAPPY MARCH!! It’s a lovely day.

How ironic. Tucker and Halle have been on a Jeopardy watching kick the past few weeks also. Personally I've always been a fan of the "Wheel" with Pat (him and Alex should be friends), but Halle and Tucker prefer Alex and his answers. I love that Brandon's dream is to "drive and get dad on Jeopardy. I have that same dream for my dad and the "Wheel".
oh my word! this is hilarious!! What a fun little thing to have a bond with dad! Not to mention that Brandon is learning while doing it! I love all his funny commments…and wanting to take his dad there….so cute!! Love it!!
That's too cute. 🙂
This really is hilarious. I love it. I didn't even know Jeopardy was still on these days! I'm with Julie, however, I've always had a place in my heart for the "Wheel".
Sure missed you the weekend! We'll for sure do it again.
alright – that's it. When we're there in April I absolutely HAVE to watch Jeopardy with your little ones. That's a hoot!
I always thought Jeopardy was for smart people. I never seem to know any of the answers when I watch. I'm impressed that Brandon does!
it makes it less dorky that you crochet while you watch the show. How old are you? 72?
Yeah Mark, I was going to address the crochet + jeopardy = old lady issue. I'm cool with it. 🙂
We don't really watch the "Wheel", it's Jeopardy all the way for some reason! Julie, I'll root for Uncle Dave to get on the Wheel if you root for Jaden and Jeopardy. 🙂
Meagan, I say there's lots more fun things to do when you're here than watch Jeopardy, ha! 🙂 And Natalie, I hear ya. Although it comforts me that sometimes I think at least I might be smarter than Alex, with some of the dumb stuff he says. 🙂
Love your new header, such a darling family!!
Thanks, Rachelle! 🙂
