About this episode
Jordan and Alex discuss the Olympics of Trivia on this extra-special “Jeop-isode” of TMI! You’ll find out how Lucille Ball helped get Alex Trebek the hosting gig (and how hash brownies nearly put him out of commission), how the theme tune was written on a Hollywood icon’s piano, and how the writers come up with clues in the first place. The duo will also lift the lid on the show’s finely-honed production process, offer tips on the insane, PTSD-inducing preparation that prospective contestants go through, and reveal whether or not Trebek ever met his SNL Celebrity Jeopardy nemesis Sean Connery in real life.
