So from March 28-30, JEOPARDY! is letting fans try out for the show by taking an online test. PAH!

At last, something to do with a game show that’s actually accessible!

Granted, if selected based on your test score, you still have to go in for an audition and screen test. I know I’ve heard of other deafies trying and being blocked from even a chance to get on these game shows, even, specifically, JEOPARDY!.

But duuude! I want some of that money. I’d much rather be told I can’t be on the show because my life story anecdotes are too boring or because the camera doesn’t love me than just because they can’t figure out what to do with me because I’m deaf.

I’m gonna see if I can take the test. But I’m not very optimistic.

Funnily enough, the FAQs page on the online test has this on it:

“JEOPARDY! is proud of its long-standing reputation of openness to applicants with disabilities.”

Stupidness for $200, please, Alex.
