Matt O., have you been holding out on us?

 Trebek would have a new person aside from Cliff Clavin to be frightened of.

If I did the math right, doing BOTH will win you....



$54.66

[zachhoran]

WHat about replying with "What is Starcade?" and a pic of Pac-Man? Or what about the ultimate Trebek pisser-offer "What is CatalEna Island? and a pic of a Pitfall elevator"

I think the administrators of the Malcolm Jackpot Endowment Fund would be prepared to break the bank (qv) for any truly outstanding act of sufficiently high-profile excessively obscure game show fandom that represented extreme folly, but that we will recognise any deserving candidates naturally without need for precise definition of the victory condition.

Really, the only way that the jackpot is at all realistically likely to be paid is if the day's correct question is "Who is Malcolm X?" and there's time to doodle a big-nosed blob underneath.

And remember, the Malcolm Jackpot goes up $0.01 every day it isn't won, so that means it's currently standing at

$298,315,476.57!!!

 Fine, as long as you're covering the rest. I'm only down for $2.68 of that.

Well, Malcolm will pay half . . .

(GOD, that was a ridiculously easy bonus round.)

 I'm holding out for a Final Jeopardy! about "Malcolm in the Middle."

Because then you can just write "What is" and then draw Malcolm in the middle of the blank area.  Doing something like that might also result in a "Classic Concentration" mention, although I guess that's no big deal.

[TLEberle]

That would make a better "Catch Phrase" than Concentration rebus, but Alex never did host "Catch Phrase."

I'll cover $3.14 of the Malcolm pot.

A few years ago, a friend of my mother went on the show, and during the interview portion asked "By the way, whatever happened to Ruta Lee?"  Absolute silence from the audience, and Alex was a bit unnerved by it, so the bar has been set for geekiness displayed on air, albeit very low.

[quote name=\'JRaygor\' date=\'Mar 9 2004, 12:54 AM\']Okay perhaps the "Many Moon Come Moonshine" Jackpot was in bad taste. But, I propose a M'ama Non M'ama Jackpot:

If you draw a Daisy on your monitor during Final J! and Alex has to explain it, you'll win a jackpot which I'm starting at...

$1.98[/quote]

"Then both players would win both showcases... The show would declare bankruptcy and they'd all go their separate ways."

And remember, the Malcolm Jackpot goes up $0.01 every day it isn't won, so that means it's currently standing at $298,315,476.57!!!

Only if the jackpot was established several million years ago

I can't draw. If by some miracle I were to appear on Jeopardy!, but then don't know the final question, in the interest of increasing the possibility he'd actually recognize the thing (and at the risk of forfeiting the jackpot" I'll just write "What is the Malcolm Rule?" and be done with it.
