Perhaps they're moving it back in order to allow for an extra week of first-runs into June? It is certainly interesting indeed...
I wonder if Jeopardy is going to be starting later as well?

It's possible too their Facebook got it wrong, I wouldn't exactly call that an official press release.

Here's my rundown:
1. Jim started out great, particularly for a dubbed-in announcer, and got better when he started announcing from the studio. He really puts in a lot of enthusiasm in, and plays off Pat well. He was a pleasant surprise, as I didn't realize until his first episode that he was even in the running. No complaints whatsoever with him.
2. John started out reasonably well but he seemed to tone down a little too much on his second week. I liked his ad-lib of "Vanna not included" when she read most of the prize copy and he did only the price. As many Sony shows as he's done, I'm surprised they didn't default to him, or at least let him fill in sooner.
3. I thought Joe was Daniel Rosen levels of un-enthusiasm on his first four episodes, but he got much better on the other six. His voice is rather nonconventional for an announcer so it took some time to get used to.
4. Rich was a radical departure from the screechy bellowing on TPIR and actually rather pleasant sounding for once. However, he still had the annoying habit of drawing out words (Vanna Whiiiiiiyyyyyyte), and often seemed as if he were trying way too hard to restrain his enthusiasm.
5. It seemed as if they didn't want Lora there. I don't think she and Pat ever played off each other, and Vanna did a lot of her work for her (Mystery and Jackpot plugs, SPIN ID, Wheel Deals) — Lora did only the intro and prize copy.
