Title: Megatokyo Jeopardy
Post by: otakuya on February 20, 2006, 09:48:13 PM
Dominic Nguyen, better known as Shirt Guy Dom from Megatokyo and attends many Bay Area anime cons, will be appearing on Jeopardy! this Tuesday night (2/21). Just putting this out there.

OMG, go Dom! XD  What time and station does Jeopardy air on?  I don't usually do this "TV" thing.

Wow. I heard about this a couple months back. So he's finally going for it, huh?

Apparently, he said the taping was last December. They're just showing it now.

For the Bay Area ppl here: 7pm on channel 7 (on all cable boxes and antenna TVs)


Jeopardy makes you feel smart sometimes....

Because Dom is Dom. What else can one say about the real life stick man?

Dom didn't win! ; ;  At least he barely got second. XD;  He was also, by far, the most animated contestant.

HAHAHA!!! Those stupid judges....

I couldn't stop laughing while watching Dom. Everyone was just standing there, staring, waiting. Dom was dropping his head on the podium when he screwed up, and looking happy when he got something right.

A little sad he didn't have the SGD drawn into his name. But they probably didn't give him a trackball to work with.

I missed it. (Blame Taiko no Tatsujin.)

I should comb the Megatokyo Forums over the following week to see if anyone digitized it.

Watched it.

Man, Dom was on a roll for a while.

And as for SGD, well, he did have a smily in his name XD;;;

And yeah, he was the most animated. The rest were pretty boring.

It's just too bad that his critical mistakes cost him a lot >.<

My friend, who was watching it with me was like "Yeah, yeah! Cheer on the asian guy!"

For those who missed it, here's the video in four parts, as linked at the Megatokyo Forums. (http://rapidshare.de/files/13988621/DomOnJeopardy_2-21-06.zip.html)

BTW, "There's a sucker born every minute" sounds *so* Dommish.

Downloading now. This should brighten this boring day of mine. Installing shelf liners is sooo fun! I wonder if he glomped Alex Trebec off stage hehe.

I can't let the fact go that Dom ended up wtih 100 dollars at the end. I find it hilarious. Tis a shame though especially since he had such a beautiful start. Wish he knew more about his French Sauces, but then again, who the hell knows their French sauce?

Did Dom ever reveal the conversation they were having with Alex at the end of the show?  Darn theme music always getting in the way. (https://forums.fanime.com/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg395.imageshack.us%2Fimg395%2F250%2Ftear1cc.gif&hash=23f48a8ebfd689582107c9c5b2476d2dd36a2682)
