I tried out a few years ago. We did a quiz first, writing the questions for the answers that were on a monitor. There were LOTS of literature questions, U.S. Congress and some fluffy stuff so we didn’t feel like total retards.
After the quiz, we took a break while the scores were tallied up. Then they called out the names of the people that passed the quiz. The passers went on to the next round, which was a simulated game and the rest of us did the walk of shame.
Alex Trebek wasn’t even there- he only did a prerecorded ‘good luck and have fun’ video.

Rumor has it that one of the categories will be “The Intricacies of the Beautiful Peaks and Valleys and Curves and Crevices and Nooks and Crannies of the Lovely Nibbler’s Body (If That’s Really Your Name)”. Will you help me study for that category?
I see that Christian Thibadeau is a moderator on here right now. CT, could you recommend any neural charge workouts and the appropriate supplementation that would enhance my brain activity and maximize the speed at which I recall facts? I remember when I went back to school to get my teaching credential I still had to take a couple classes and I would do a couple quick circuits of box jumps, plyo pushups and medicine ball slams to wake the brain up before a big test.
The rest of the class thought it was pretty odd that I did this in the classroom, but then again, I was outperforming them on all the tests so maybe they should have done the same thing.

Three lines of cocaine and a Spike Shooter.
The resulting writhing of your lips is the facial equivalent of the Prowler Push, and should significantly strengthen your Jeopardy muscles.
Then take a sledgehammer to several hookers, for GPP.
My father tried out a few years ago… he said it they just asked you a few hundred questions on all topics and give you only a few seconds for each one but they are multiple choice. Highest scores get on the show. You should brush up on not only history but also pop culture as that is a big part of Jeopardy and the test… i.e. knowing the names of the most popular actors old iconic movies and TV shows (miami vice, cheers, casa blanca, and so on).
Okay, so I did some more research into the audition process. I got things a little wrong earlier in the thread. On the 19th, I audition on-line first and if I get a 70% or better I qualify for the next step, which is the in-person audition in Sacramento I referred to earlier.
At that audition, I have the opportunity to compete against 18 to 21 other people and those who again get 70% or better continue on to a mock Jeopardy! game in groups of three. Apparently, at this point they aren’t even concerned with how well the contestants do because by now we will all have demonstrated enough acumen to qualify for the show. The criteria here is essentially how well you come across in terms of your television appeal. And I think I have that in spades. They only play the game for a little while and then they ask you a little about yourself and how you would spend your winnings (all on Biotest, which I will mention on-air in exchange for a year’s supply of the I, Bodybuilder supplement package).
The best part is that before the in-person audition, they ask you for five anecdotes about yourself. I assume this is for when Alex asks the contestants a little about themselves after the first commercial break. “So, DB, I see here that you once ripped a Stop sign out of the ground. What was that all about?” “Well Alex, let’s just say I was having a bad day and leave it at that”, followed by a large, intense grimace and an unwavering stare into the camera.
If I make it to the live audition I’m in like Flint. As I’m sure some of you have suspected, I’m also a very charming, charismatic, gregarious person away from the Internet, so if I play my cards right and exercise restraint, I should be able to qualify for the show, and then I’ll unleash the beast on them.

Dude, I’m a half second away from pretending to hit you with a flurry of punches and kicks. Of course I will only be slapping your traps with a false fist…you will have to sell the damage to the crowd as I taunt you by reading your fake obit to the crowd.
