Yesterday, I listened to the August 1 episode of the Inside Jeopardy Podcast. Executive Producer Michael Davies and Producer Sarah Foss discussed some news about the show. They mentioned the possibility of a tournament featuring only librarians. My Twitter post about this generated more likes and retweets than any of my 9000+ Tweets.
In the past librarians have done very well on Jeopardy. Rhone Talsma defeated 40-time champ Amy Schneider, but that was his only victory. James Holzhauer's stunning 32-game winning streak in 2019 was ended by Emma Boettcher, a librarian from the University of Chicago.
Hopefully, there will be a tournament featuring only librarians. Presently, it is only being discussed by executives at the show. They seem to be willing to be innovative with the long-time popular quiz show.
