Celebrity Jeopardy players announced...

[weaklink75]

It's not a complete list, because I counted only 22 people, but it's the majority of them.... They didn't announce the matchups either, so let the speculation/dream matchup wish lists begin....

Jane Kaczmarek... that'll be interesting.

What? No Sean Connery?

Oh boy, Rachael Ray is on there too...Can hardly contain my excitement.

Now this is a celebrity line-up.  Not quite the A-list names that Jeopardy was getting the first time around, but lots of interesting folk, including many personal favorites of mine (Schafer, Waterston, Short, Harris, Neuwirth) that I can't wait to see do this.

No idea about the pairings, but they theoretically could have a Savant-Denton-Fischer Desperate Housewives game.

Is it a good thing or a bad thing that I recognize about six names on the list?
Who the hell are:

Doug Savant, Christopher Meloni, Drew Lachey, Carson Kressley, Neil Patrick Harris, Jane Kaczmarek, Joely Fischer, Dana Delany, Mario Cantone, Steve Schirripa, Bebe Neuwirth, Sam Waterston

Are these some figures from the past, or current pop culture members that I am oblivious to?

[tpirfan28]

I'll start.

Steve Schirripa (IIRC) is a comedian-type.

Bebe Neuwirth was Frasier Crane's ex-wife on "Frasier" and wife on "Cheers"...Lilith.

Don't know about the rest.

Wait...you don't recognize Neil Patrick Harris, a.k.a. "Doogie Howser"? He's now on "How I Met Your Mother".

-Savant-I think Melrose Place
-Meloni-Law and Order?
-Lachey-Nick's brother from 98 degrees, won "Dancing with the Stars" last year
-Kressley-Queer Eye
-Kaczmarek-Malcolm's mom from Malcolm in the Middle
-Fischer-on that new sitcom w/Brad Garrett
-Cantone-very flamboyant friend on Sex and the City, also seen in "Ask a Gay Guy" on Chappelle's Show, did some Donnymid eps.
-Waterston-Law and Order, Family Guy

Might know 'em if you see 'em. Nice list of folks though.

Ah yes, as always, if Mark doesn't know who they are, they must not be noteworthy.

Just stop. You've gone from irritating to boring.

I am truly amazed, but here goes...

Doug Savant - Tom Scavo, Desperate Housewives, ABC; Matt Fielding, Melrose Place, Fox

Christopher Meloni - Det. Elliot Stabler, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, NBC

Drew Lachey - singer, 98 Degrees; co-champion, Dancing with the Stars, ABC

Carson Kressley - one of the experts (fashion?), Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, Bravo

Neil Patrick Harris - Barney Stinson, How I Met Your Mother, CBS; Doogie Howser, M.D., ABC

Jane Kaczmarek - Lois, Malcolm in the Middle, Fox

Joely Fischer - Nina Fletcher, Desperate Housewives, ABC; Joy Stamm, 'Til Death, Fox

Dana Delany - Ellie Cain, Kidnapped, NBC; Nurse Colleen McMurphy, China Beach, ABC

Mario Cantone - Anthony Marantino, Sex and the City, HBO

Steve Schirripa - Bobby Bacala, The Sopranos, HBO

Bebe Neuwirth - ADA Tracey Kibre, Law & Order: Trial by Jury, NBC; Dr. Lilith Sternin, Frasier and Cheers, both NBC

Sam Waterston - EADA Jack McCoy, Law & Order, NBC

The last two surprise me most -- Waterston's been on that show for 12 years and been covered all over the media for it, and not knowing someone from both Cheers and Frasier... well, I guess they're too obscure for most. ;-)

(Disclaimer: I used IMDB.com to look up some character names.  The only one for whom I had to look up the show name as well was Mario Cantone -- I knew I'd seen him recently but drew a blank on where.)

Where the hell did I say they weren't noteworthy?  I simply stated that I didn't recognize them...as someone who doesn't watch much television or attend many movies, I really don't have any reason to know who they are.

Apparently, that makes my query invalid, in your eyes.

You're drawing a zilch at Dana Delany, Bebe Neuwrith and Sam Waterston?  Man, you missed the '80s and the '90s on top of last week.

Where did Mark, in that sentence, say they weren't noteworthy? He just said he was not familiar with them.

Would you stop attacking Mark every time he says something? Are you obsessed with driving him away from this board?

If you want people to believe you were asking an honest question instead of being snarky (especially considering your track record for being snarky), then you might do well not to start your next inquiry with "Who the hell are..."

If I'm attracting Mark, then I'm REALLY worried, because he'd be shopping on quite the wrong floor, I assure you.

If I'm obsessed with anything, it's on calling out bullsh*t when I see it.

Watterson and Philbin have done Celebrity Jeopardy before...

I have a feeling they might do a Desperate Housewives matchup (Doug Savant, James Denton, and Joely Fisher have had multiple-episode roles on that show)

I'd love to see Rachael Ray and Regis Philbin in the same matchup....Ray will drive poor Regis nuts...
