Welcome to Andy’s Weekly Thoughts for Saturday, December 9. Normally I break up my editorial into thoughts on several smaller topics, but this week, I wish to focus my editorial on just a singular issue plaguing the Jeopardy community.
On this week’s Inside Jeopardy, Nick Cascone said in his interview that “I just think I’m on a quixotic quest for civility”, saying:
I think online people forget that there are actual human beings behind the keyboards and, and that are involved in this stuff. And so, I mean, I understand that people have preferences and, you know, if they’re tired of the tournament and they want to see new players and that, I totally get that, but when you come on and just kind of blindly just criticize, I hate this, this is dumb, I don’t want to see this anymore. There are people who are making these decisions, and there are people who are involved in making these shows, and the shows are excellent television, you know, and so I tried to just gently remind people that, you know, human beings are involved in this. And you’re entitled to your opinion, but look, this sounds like somebody from the 19thcentury, you know, but when you express an opinion, it might be nice to consider that people have feelings and are trying to do the best job that they can. And they’re working with a strike situation, which means that new questions aren’t able to be produced. And so I’m not trying to guilt anybody, I just think I’m on a quixotic quest for civility in the online space.
And with regard to this, I have to say: Nick Cascone, you are one hundred percent right in your assessment.

It has become abundantly clear to me over the past week that the extent to which r/Jeopardy chooses to criticize the last three months’ worth of games is overly excessive, and it’s a systemic subreddit culture issue emanating from the top leaders of the subreddit.
The subreddit leadership, chiefly moderators “jaysjep2” and “ReganLynch,” have taken great pride in constantly criticizing the show over the past three months, going as far as to point at phantom statistics like unpublished “ratings,” claiming “a mass viewer exodus.” In fact, it got so bad that ReganLynch went as far as to ask me, “Are you on staff yet as the show’s PR flack or just volunteering?”, when I deigned to object to the criticisms, which I would say is the single most offensive claim to journalistic credibility that has ever been made of me.
Since those comments were made of me, I elected to peruse other places where the show is discussed extensively—mainly the comments on Facebook posts made by the show (which, for better or worse, is likely where the show’s target audience is most likely to congregate). And while there is a small subset of commenters on Facebook commenting negatively about the length of Champions Wildcard, one thing that stood out to me is that over the course of a week, more people appear to be complaining about the “adult content” and “Nigerian prince” scams in the Facebook comments than they are about the length of Champions Wildcard. Moreover, if there is a mass viewer exodus, I am absolutely not seeing that in the traffic statistics of this website, as I am receiving a normal amount of website traffic for this time of year here at The Jeopardy! Fan. My conclusion here is that the overall fan anger towards these changes is not nearly as pronounced as Reddit thinks it is.
In order to redesign our merchandise area to serve you better in 2026, all merchandise sales have been temporarily taken offline. Look for a return in late 2026! All previous orders will still be supported.
I would like to remind everyone: Just because a piece of media has changed in a way you personally don’t like doesn’t mean that piece of media is ruined. While you are allowed to have your opinion, change is inevitable, and as I have mentioned in the past in this column, I believe that the show is undergoing a necessary evolution in order to remain relevant in the changing entertainment landscape of the 2020s, and that these current changes are necessary in order to ensure that Jeopardy as a brand itself still is able to exist into the 2030s and 2040s.
Would a change at the top of r/Jeopardy provide the necessary community culture shift? I’m not sure—I fear that the subreddit might be too far gone to save at this point. Do I think Reddit—and those who quote Reddit daily to fill their clickbait quota—need to be taken less seriously as a whole? Without a doubt.
