Rich Baker was on Jeopardy! last night

Off topic, but am I the only that gets confused between Keith Baker and Rich Baker?

I don't get the two confused. I attribute it to having played Eberron with Keith Baker at Origins one year....

How hard is it to get on Jeopardy?

When I tried out, the audition process was pretty grueling. We assembled at the Belo building, about 40 of us. They gave us a piece of paper numbered 1-50 and a pencil. They cycled "$1,000" questions (at the time, this was the highest) across a screen and you had 5-10 seconds with each question, which included reading time and writing down your answer. You had to get 35/50 to move to the next round.

The next round was a mock show, where you played an actual game of Jeopardy, so they could weed out people who were too nervous to do well in the real thing. I'm not sure how they selected out of that pool, as I only got 32/50 in the first trial.
