‘Love this shot!’
A behind-the-scenes photo of the ‘Jeopardy!’ producers went viral during the Masters tournament. The rare photo shows producers Sarah Whitcomb Foss and Michael Davies appearing alongside co-head writer Billy Wisse and other leads as they sat in front of the studio audience. While Michael seemed to be talking on a white phone, Sarah had her headphones on. The gameshow logo appeared in the background. It is rare to see producers of the show at the judges' table, fans have gone wild in the comment section. A Reddit user wrote, “Love this shot!! I screamed when it popped up during the commercial break - I always get excited to see a good judges table/audience shot!”, while another added, “I love that they have dictionaries right in front of them”. One more fan commented being curious about how things work, “You know, I really want a deep dive behind the scenes. How does scorekeeping system work? How often are there technical glitches? Why do they keep the contestant score reminder thingy off camera so contestants look away?” Another added, “They'd often show Alex glancing in that direction when there was some doubt about a ruling. If the current hosts do that, they don't show it”, and one more user wrote reflecting on their opinion, “They're there in case a contestant gives a response that isn't what was necessarily expected or written down but could potentially be considered correct. You'll see their influence sometimes if the host pauses a moment before stating a response is correct. They're probably waiting for an indication from the judges. Also, anytime they've come back and made a correction to scores because someone was incorrectly ruled incorrect, that's because of these guys reviewing.”
‘Jeopardy!’ hosting schedule
'Jeopardy! Masters' was hosted exclusively by Ken Jennings, who is now taking a break until the 2023 Tournament of Champions, which begins in September. In the meantime, co-host Mayim Bialik is working on the regular season and will host through the summer.
