he looks like hes in pain.
It’s hard knowing so much
its also pretty painful to know jeopardy is literally childhood trivia at this point.
It's rigged. They're desperate for ratings so they hired a Van Doren to create some buzz.
But it’s the only show in town
ignorance is bliss. Knowledge is misery
Just a reminder that the IRS will take roughly half his winnings and THEN he'll have to pay tax on the remainder....
that's not how it works. you pay tax on the lump sum you deposit
For me I prefer Trebek in classic concentration
>if only you knew how bad things really are
Could Ken beat this guy?
He's a machine. Absolute mad lad.
How the fuck do you even prepare for Jeopardy? You like need to have at least some knowledge on everything conceivable.
Is there a limit on how often he can return? Or could he theoretically win a billion?
>that's not how it works. you pay tax on the lump sum you deposit
No, the gross winnings are taxed separately (at a bit under 50%) and the remainder is taxed as income.
Jeapordy is shit. The participants all know the answers most of the time, so it's literally a glorified reaction time contest. They should increase the difficulty of the questions by a large amount.
how much Adderall and nootropics is this man on?
Increase the difficulty but make it more academic
Fuck off with that sports, TV show, and pop culture shit
What a Chad
Why is America so greedy? In Germany any winnings (lottery, quiz shows, etc) are income tax free for a year which leaves enough time to invest everything.
>Jeapordy is shit.
Nonsense, Jeopardy is the only not shit game show on tv.
>The participants all know the answers most of the time, so it's literally a glorified reaction time contest.
True, I could kick all kinda ass on Jeopardy if I wasn't subject to the time limit.
no, but this guy could
james is a pro gambler, so he has a bunch of spare time where he reads kids books to learn trivia
no, there's a tournament every year of the last years most succesful contestants
one guy who won 5 times a few months ago said he hopes james keeps winning until that tournament so he doesn't have to compete against him
Wrong. Pop culture, music and sports questions is needed so older autists don't sweep everyone. Quiz is about broad knowledge.
Canada apparently doesn't place any additional taxes on gambling winnings, simply counting it as income.
>applying logic to anything American
oh you
The only non shit game show is pointless. You actually get rewarded for knowing more than the other contestants
>Why is America so greedy?
if it was easy to get fuck you money, the economy would collapse.
>if it was easy to get fuck you money, the economy would collapse.
Nonsense, there is no justifiable reason for the IRS to take half the winnings right off the top, as most of that money will be pissed away by the government on stupid shit and it would serve the community FAR better for the winner to put that money back into the economy by buying a new house, new car, etc. all of which provides jobs and income for others, who then put their money back into the community.
Why doesn't Germany pay its fair share of NATO?
a community that owes more to a new millionaire is a community that isn't dependent upon the government and our corporate masters.
> Jeopardy
> Desperate for ratings
I just love when there is a Canada topic and none of the contestants know shit about it. Alex gets so snippy with them
They are still paying off WW1 and 2 reparations
>game shows should be tax exempt
That autism smile
Untrue.
Bump
Trebek has terminal cancer and everybody knows. Their ratings have probably never been higher
Is this guy going to make history and overtake Rutter and Jennings' totals?
I believe he's number 2 already
Doesn’t Germany have higher income tax rates? I’d rather have lower income tax rates and tax gambling winnings at a higher rate if I had to choose between the two.
Taxes are a literal crime
