The Marvelous Mrs. Maiselconcluded its five-season run not with a bang but stifled laughter.
(Of course Susie would reincarnate herself as a skunk.)
Ive been aMaiselfan since the beginning, he says.
To just randomly show up in the finale was pretty surreal but fun.
Who would believe it if you had told me that when I was a kid?
Maiselcouldve made the effort to film a fictionalJeopardy!game for the finale if so inclined.
Theyve done a good job with that throughout the season with the flashes forward and back.
Theres always been some nice historical detail in there.
So maybe its a budget thing, too.
What wasJeopardy!conveying about Midge and Susies relationship that wouldnt be possible with another game show?
And, in turn, what does it convey aboutJeopardy!
?Well, its a universal thing.
I saw it as partially an homage to them.
Thats just something I thought of.
What memories do you associate with theUltimate Tournament of Championscompared to the others youve competed in?
Youbeat Ken Jenningsand took home $2 million.That game you saw was the semifinals, if Im remembering correctly.
I didnt have to feel like I stole the $2 million.
I definitely felt like I earned it.
The ladies debated how good of a look your goatee was.
How did you feel about that?Thats my only complaint about this whole experience.
Midge had to point out the goatee, although ultimately its my fault.
Susie says the goatee looks better with hair.
I think Im probably onboard with her there, although I guess I can be excused for 2005.
Its not my favorite,looking back, but what are you going to do?
When did you evolve out of the goatee?It wasnt much long after that.
I want to say 2008.
I went to the full stubble.
I looked up the data from this game, and you buzzed in and got two clues wrong.
We must end this chat with a redemption round.Okay.
I cant imagine that I got many more wrong in real life.
Now I have another beef withMrs.
Maiselother than the goatee: They show me getting stuff wrong.
They started the postal service in Europe in the Middle Ages.
I want to say Luxembourg.
You said Monaco, but its Germany.There you go.
I was unaware of the prince statuses still in Germany, but that makes sense.
There werent any in 1940, so were going back to 1936.
The question is whether the Winter or Summer Olympics were first.
You said London, but its Berlin.I didnt have that luxury on the Daily Double.
