Good morning, everyone. Toby, I am hyped. The biggest competition of the year kicks off tonight, Jeopardy Masters. The game show is bringing back its top-ranked players to compete in a tournament for a $500,000 prize. Everything about this is going to be supersized. Nine hour-long episodes consisting of two games each with the hardest questions, well, answers, you could think of.

Jeopardy has done a great job of turning its all-star contestants into household names.

80.236 - 98.285 Neal Freiman

We're also at the point in our lives, Neil, where we are seated for Jeopardy at 7 p.m., so this is appointment viewing for our crew here at MBD. But also, Neil, I am talking to a bit of a Jeopardy legend here. You were on the show many moons ago. Tell MBD listeners about that lore.

98.525 - 120.195 Toby Howell

I don't know about legend, but yeah, in 2001, when I was 10 years old, I was on Kids Jeopardy, got to meet Alex Trebek. I said my favorite class in school was recess. which it still is. The cool kid. The cool kid. And we had a little buzzer trouble in Single Jeopardy, but we turned it around. I'm not going to tell anybody how it turned out. You'll just have to watch.

120.495 - 129.178 Toby Howell

It's deep in the throes of YouTube, but it was a great time. I just really want to go back. So if there are any Jeopardy producers listening, get me on that show. I can get revenge.
