ABC to air Jeopardy GOAT tournament
Loogaroo:
That's my thinking too. Ideally you wait a year or so, but I don't think they really have that luxury with Trebek at this point.

My guess is that like the World Series (or other best-of-7 playoff series), the episodes will be scheduled "if needed."
I'll bet these tapings will be closed and the audience will be by invite only, similar to the All-Star Tourney.

I also took it as Alex’s farewell tour, esp. given his recent interview regarding his health.

I think the combination of the network primetime slot, Alex's health, and James winning the ToC last week was too much to resist for them doing it now...
And I wonder how far along they're in the regular season tapings? If Alex does have to leave in the middle of the season, do they have enough of a buffer to announce a replacement (I suspect they've had some unofficial talks with people) and get them up to speed with everything?
PYLdude:
Check out James' Twitter. That's all I'm gonna say.
