“Let me put it this way—we would have passed up a wonderful opportunity to extend that rivalry had we missed the chance,” said Friedman, who declined further comment on the topic.

During the actual taping of the show, the show announcer asked Yale students to stop applauding whenever Schrum answered a question correctly.

There were some glitches in filming the show.

Some were caused by boisterous Yale students, others by unexpected responses to questions.

The show judges were thrown into 15 minutes of turmoil as Schrum identified the equation “y=4x+7” as a first order equation. The given answer was “linear,” and the show stopped for 15 minutes while the home base of Jeopardy in California was called to verify the answer. Judges ultimately concluded that a first order equation was indeed a linear one.

Naam was penalized for incorrectly answering that internet lingo “BBS” stood for “be back soon” when the Jeopardy answer was “bulletin board system.” She was later awarded the points back when judges verified that “be back soon” was indeed a valid interpretation.

In between such glitches in the filming, announcer Alex Trebek fielded questions from the audience.

Trebek narrated several memorable moments in his 20 seasons with Jeopardy—ranging from a contestant’s on-air marriage proposal to a student’s collapse following a self-imposed liquid diet intended to improve their on-camera appearance.
