Pure speculation here, but could it be Alex's swan song?
I'm actually going to put it on my calendar.#teamJames
I’m more excited for this than I should be. lol
Woohoo! #TeamJames
I'm with you on TeamJames! If anyone watched the special on Alex Trebek and Jeopardy last week, he said when he is ready to retire, he will just tell the producers to leave him 30 seconds of airtime at the end of a show. That he would say a few words and that would be it. I don't think he will do it during the GOAT shows though!
I was curious about where it is aired in different areas, and found out some facts. In 7 of the top 10 largest markets, it is aired on ABC. (This comes from Matt Carberry and was published in Aug or Sept of 2019.)
ABC 52 stations (24.8%) has 41.6% of the viewers
NBC 70 stations (33.3%) has 24.7%
CBS 71 stations (33.8%) has 22.4%
FOX 12 stations (5.7%) has 6.1%
IND stations make up 3 (1.4%) and have 5%
