Of course, the problem with becoming a writer for “Jeopardy!” is that it would make you permanently ineligible to appear as a contestant.

I went to a taping session a couple weeks ago - the September 30 episode includes a category that was extremely timely for the tape date. Ken claimed the writers had worked overtime the previous day.

At this point, I don’t even remember the contestant names from 6 weeks ago. Just wait 3 days to actually see the episodes!
