No, my friend's name is not Sean Connery.

How can I watch the episode of the game show Jeopardy! that aired tonight, June 5? I just learned a high school friend of mine was on the show, and I missed seeing it when it aired. I'm hoping there's a way to do it online, but I haven't found it yet.

Every day's final jeopardy is here. At least you can see your friend win or lose it all.

ochenk, that's a great find. I see the Final Jeopardy for tonight's show hasn't been posted yet, so I'll have to check there tomorrow.

Also, it's not quite the same as watching, but you'll be able to see all the questions and answers (answers and questions?) when the show goes up on J! Archive.

I should have it on my DVR. I could burn it on to DVD and send it to you if you'd like.

Darn. I just checked my DVR. It has Tuesday's and Wednesday's episodes but not tonight's. Sorry I can't help (and can't delete my earlier message).

I had something similar happen a couple of years ago. My boyfriend's band was mentioned in a Jeopardy clue, and I wanted to get a copy for him. I ended up going to a Jeopardy message board (I thought it was affiliated with the J-Archive, but I can't find it). Someone there had DVRed the show and offered to burn and send me a copy (and wouldn't take any$ which I offered).

My TiVo recorded it. I'll transfer it to my computer ... from there I should be able to convert it to a file you can use. MeMail me if you want it.

p.s. I can make an MPEG-4 or H.264, or convert it for an iPod, PSP, Nokia N80, or Palm Treo 650.

Thanks to all who offered suggestions, and especially to Koko (and Mr. Koko) who pitched in to help me watch my old friend... lose. Still, totally worth it.
