In the game show “Jeopardy!,” contestants have to answer in the form of a question. So I think the judges should always accept, “Who wants to know??” #jeopardy #jeopardymasters

In a rare show of bipartisan unity, Rep. Panetta (D-CA, @JimmyPanetta ) and Rep. Moore (R-UT, @RepBlakeMoore ) agreed that "that guy looked taller on that game show." #Jeopardy #jeopardymasters #BipartisanTalks

I took a picture of the guy who played Doctor Zhivago, but not the guy who wrote “La Mer.” That’s right: I shot the Sharif, but I did not shoot the Debussy.

One of the best things about being on the show “Jeopardy!” is it teaches you how to spell the word “jeopardy,” which is useful if you want to look up the show “Jeopardy!” #JeopardyMasters #Jeopardy

If you're in the J! Tournament of Champions, they send you some sweet swag, like a blanket, a hat, a pint glass, socks, and pictures of your favorite TV/movie star. I picked that guy from "Only Murders in the Building." I love that guy! #JeopardyToC #Jeopardy @SteveMartinToGo

Here's me with "Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings. (My collar looked totally normal until one minute before this picture was taken, and I blame Ken.) The Jeopardy! ToC starts October 31: my episode, featuring the smart and funny @jessmstephens and @zjanewkirk , drops on November 7th.

What a fun time on Jeopardy! with @jessmstephens and @zjanewkirk ! Somehow I got in sync with the buzzer, but even so, Zach was one clue away. I may have distracted Jessica with some seriously legit dance moves, but she definitely proved she belonged in the ToC. #JeopardyToC

@James_Holzhauer @YElindah I’m standing up, cheering @James_Holzhauer ’s gracious comment, partly because I cant sit down after that rear-end whupping he gave me. Hopefully, I will have recovered in time for to benefit @project150lv ! #Jeopardy #Jeopardymasters

@KenJennings @OneEclecticMom @buzztronics @AndyRichter I believe those were the three youngest competitors in the ToC! No, wait. That can't be right.

@AlexPalombo @KenJennings I have one of those 3D headsets that let you play virtual reality games, including golf. And I tore something in my hip playing cartoon golf in my living room.
