Diehard Jeopardy! Fans Created a Database of Almost Every Question Ever Asked on the Show

This is awesome!

Are you a Jeopardy! junkie? Do you tune in religiously to see how folks from around the country will perform under pressure and how wide their knowledge is?

I know I do! I love shouting along as Alex Trebek hosts the iconic show, and I’m always excited to see what the categories will be for the night.

Well, if you’ve ever wanted to take a really deep dive – and I mean really deep – into the show’s quizology, you need to check out a website called the J! Archive. Some diehard Jeopardy! fans created the website, which, as of today, contains a total of 384,440 questions from 36 seasons of the incredibly popular game show. The archive dates back to when Alex Trebek started hosting the show in 1984.

The website was founded 15 years ago by a patent attorney named Robert Schmidt. Since then, Schmidt has had help updating the J! Archive from a small group of hardcore fans of the show.

One of the people involved in the site is a man named Mark Barrett who has spent countless hours watching old VHS tapes of past Jeopardy! episodes in order to update the site (and, we assume, because he likes to). Barrett said that he has about 150 episodes that he taped to go through, but that there could be as many as 1,400 episodes worth of questions that need to be cataloged and added to the site.

Each episode catalogued contains all the important information, such as the date of the episode, the contestants, and, of course, the questions.

Spend some time on the site and give that brain of yours a workout!

American Girl Introduces a Doll With Hearing Loss

It’s really important for children with disabilities to see themselves in pop culture, whether it’s movies, music, TV – or even the toys and dolls they play with. That’s why this announcement from American Girl should make a lot of kids and parents very happy. American Girl rang in 2020 with a new doll, and this one, for the first time ever, has a hearing impairment.

And the new doll is also American Girl of the Year.

Meet Joss Kendrick. Joss’s story is that she hails from Huntington Beach, California, and that she is “a fierce athlete born with hearing loss and a passion for surfing and competitive cheer.”

Joss was born deaf in her left ear and she wears a hearing aid in her right ear. The company said about Joss, “Whether she’s on her surfboard or in the gym, Joss shows girls the importance of trying new things, pushing past stereotypes, and being a good team player.”

The new doll was introduced with the help of Caroline Marks, a 17-year-old surfer who is looking to make a mark at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo as part of the U.S. Women’s Surfing team (I didn’t even know surfing was an Olympic sport). Marks said, “I’m so excited to be a part of the Joss launch and share her message that passion and hard work can really take a girl places—even to the Olympics.”

Happy times ?

As part of the launch of the new doll, American Girl donated $25,000 to the Hearing Loss Association of America (HLAA).

This is a great move by Mattel and American Girl!

Congratulations and good luck to Caroline Marks at the 2020 Summer Olympics!

This ‘Star Wars’-Themed Airbnb Is Seriously Impressive

One of the best things about Airbnb is that you can rent all kinds of different places. Big houses, small apartments, tiny guest houses – pretty much anything is possible.

And that’s certainly the case with this one-of-a-kind Airbnb rental recently made available in Florida, near Walt Disney World’s Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. The home is known as ‘Twelve Parsecs,’ and it is Star Wars-themed.

The house is HUGE. It has 9 bedrooms, 17 beds, 5 bathrooms, so if you reserve this place you can have a big old nerd fest…I mean party.

Let’s take a look at the pics!

Ryan Reynolds Made a Gin Commercial Starring the Woman From the Peloton Commercial

You’ve probably seen the holiday Peloton ad – the one that definitely didn’t go the way the company wanted. It features a wife and mother who receives an exercise bike, then goes on to document her fitness journey online.

The problem is that it sort of plays like a horror movie in which the woman is forced to act like a happy wife and mother who loves working out, but is in fact being held against her will.

Monica Ruiz, the actress, blames her eyebrows, but it turns out the odd commercial might be great for her career – because Ryan Reynolds already hired her to make a commercial for Aviation American Gin.

In it, the Peloton-gifted wife is drinking gin at a bar with her friends after (maybe?) separating from her kidnapper/spouse. Or at least recovering from her traumatic year with the Peloton.

“You are safe here,” one friend says as the women share a toast “to new beginnings.”

Ruiz drains her glass and asks for another, and all’s well that ends well, I suppose.

Most people think it’s hilarious…except Sean Hunter, who played the husband in the original ad. He isn’t as amused by the situation as everyone else.

“Five seconds of air time has created an array of malicious feedback that is all associated with my face. As it continues to be screenshot online, I wonder what repercussions will come back to me. I pride myself on being a great teacher and developing actor and I can only hope this affects neither.”

Time will tell, but I mean, maybe he’ll get a second, better commercial opportunity as well?

You never know, but as for Reynolds and Ruiz, the internet is loving the addition to the “Peloton Cinematic Universe.”

And you know, I do feel a little bad for both actors, who likely never expected that booking an innocuous Christmas ad for an exercise bike would blow up online, for better or worse. But this is who we are as a society now.

Watch your face, folks. There are repercussions for days.

Here Are All of the Disney Movies Coming Out Next Year

Now what…? Disney+ is here, Star Wars is over (for now), so you might be sitting there thinking that Disney is going to leave you cold and alone without any new content.

I mean, not alone, because you could spend literal years watching all of the amazing offerings on Disney+. But you know what I mean.

You’ll be happy to hear, then, that they have more than a few movies slated for 2020 – and here they are, all lined up in a row.

23. Underwater (1/20)

Y’all have fun with this creepy underwater thriller that’s being compared to The Abyss, because I don’t do drowning.

22. The Call of the Wild (2/21)

The adaptation of Jack London’s classic adventure tale stars Harrison Ford.

21. Onward (3/6)

A pair of magical brothers bring back their dad for 24 hours…or at least, they try to.

20. Mulan (3/27)

Disney’s next animated-turned-live-action fav is Mulan, and idk, the trailers look pretty good?

19. The New Mutants (4/3)

Bring on the X-Men and a new team of teen mutants – in a horror film this time!

18. Antlers (4/17)

Keri Russell plays an Oregon teacher who learns one of her students has a disturbing secret – this one looks truly creepy…

17. Black Widow (5/1)

Scarlett Johansson and the Black Widow are finally getting their own film, and I, for, one, hope they don’t screw it up.

16. The Personal History of David Copperfield (5/8)

Dev Patel, Hugh Laurie, and Tilda Swinton star in this adaptation of a classic Dickens novel.

15. The Women in the Window (5/15)

This riff on the classic Hitchcock film Rear Window stars Amy Adams, Gary Oldman, and Julianne Moore.

14. Artemis Foul (5/29)

The screen adaptation of the hit kids’ book series by Eoin Colfer is bound to bring in major $$ – especially with an all star cast that includes Judi Dench, Josh Gad, and Ferdia Shaw.

13. Soul (6/19)

Pixar is back to break your heart with the story of what happens after you die.

Yep.

12. Free Guy (7/3)

This stars Ryan Reynolds, so you’re going to go and see it no matter what it’s about.

11. Jungle Cruise (7/24)

Inspired by a Disney Parks attraction, they’re sure hoping it does as well as Pirates of the Caribbean.

10. The Empty Man (8/7)

This supernatural horror movie is based on a noir-style graphic novel.

9. The One and Only Ivan (8/14)

Katherine Applegate wrote the award-winning children’s book (based on a true story) about a friendship between an elephant and a gorilla.

8. The King’s Man (9/18)

This comedic thriller is sure to be a winner.

7. Death on the Nile (10/9)

Agatha Christie never gets old, and this sequel to Murder on the Orient Express also stars Gal Gadot and Armie Hammer.

6. Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (10/23)

This musical about a teen taking the spotlight as a drag queen is based on a British-American drama.

5. Eternals (11/6)

This is a new entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and Disney is betting you’re going to love this cast of characters who are members of a superhuman race that guide humanity through its trials.

4. Deepwater (11/13)

Personally, I think it’s been too long since we’ve had a thriller from Ben Affleck, no?

3. Raya and the Last Dragon (11/25)

This fantasy about a young warrior’s hunt for the last dragon on the planet with be an animated feature.

2.West Side Story (12/18)

Steven Spielberg is taking the helm of a musical for the first time, and with this classic story to work with, I’m sure Disney is gonna have a hit.

1. The Last Duel (12/25)

This period piece set in France stars Matt Damon, Adam Driver, and Ben Affleck, and it’s directed by Ridley Scott. Those are 4 big ways to put asses in the seats.

 

Okay, so I’m super excited now!

Which are you looking forward to the most?
