He knew at the taping when the show would air, and he also knew that he signed a contract with Jeopardy saying that he couldn't be on any other game shows for six months after the airing of his Jeopardy appearance.
Just a question to clarify: He is not allowed to appear on another show six months after the
airing of the Jeopardy! episode? (I realize the quoted section above answers my question, but if the quoted section is inaccurate, I want to make sure the correct info is being used).
If this is the case, then it seems that there would not be an eligibility issue since he appeared on SM before the airing of his Jeopardy! episode. If a contestant is not allowed to appear on a show six months after
auditioning or
taping for J!, then there is a problem. [/quote]
You guys are searching for loopholes that I promise you the Sony lawyers have closed.
I agree not to appear on any other game show until six (6) months after the initial broadcast of my appearance on the program. I have not taped an appearance on any other television game show which has been (or may be) aired within one year of my appearance on this program.I believe most of you know by now why I happen to have that quote in my possession.
You sign that agreement the morning you tape. From that point on, no more game shows for a while. It's that simple.
Tony Kim violated the agreement that he signed. He had his reasons, and we don't necessarily know what they are. He may have even gotten clearance from Sony, we don't even know that for sure. But please stop inventing goofy excuses and justifications as if you're better at this than the Sony lawyers. Because you're really, really not.
