The Jeopardy contestant search exam

Not ready to come in off the ledge yet but maybe this is something ??? Hopefully not just a pile of political bullshit.


OTTAWA - Game show host Alex Trebek says it looks as if Canadians will soon be able to apply to compete on Jeopardy again.

Trebek, who has presided over the quiz show for more than 30 years, is in Ottawa to receive the key to the city and met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau briefly. The two also discussed a return of Canadians to Trebek's popular show.

Changes in Canada's digital privacy laws last year caused problems over Internet applications, but Trebek says they are being ironed out.
