When Devin Rossiter was a kid, he had a favorite game. He would drag his parents to the end of their driveway in Staten Island. “And I would force them to be contestants,” he says, and reel off their formal introductions—a homemaker from Staaaaten Island, New York!—as he played host.

Rossiter, now an academic coach in Bakersfield, California, was always a game show aficionado—but one show loomed larger than all the rest. “Jeopardy! was always that pillar,” he says.

There is indeed something else going on this Tuesday. In Bakersfield, Jeopardy! airs on the local CBS affiliate each night at 7:00—which is, incidentally, the precise time polls close in Iowa, Montana, Nevada, and Utah. In 2016, it was the 7:00 p.m. Pacific hour that saw the first major battleground states, Ohio and Florida, called for Donald Trump; this year, with a presidential race that is possibly even more contentious, the evening is unlikely to see much quiet on the news front as results trickle in.
