MOVIE TITLE

Jodie realizes the puzzles are getting DUMB AND DUMBER.

Tonight's celebrities are:
Nia Vardalos is known as the woman from My Big Fat Greek Wedding. She's written a book about adoption, Instant Mom, and although she did other plays, that's really the one that she's embraced. She's playing for Hope 4 Kids, a charity that takes care of children that are legally emancipated.
Jodie Sweetin is best known for Full House, and all its associated shows. She hosts the podcast "Never Thought I'd Say This", which talks about parenting. She also wrote a film, "Will You Be My Quarantine?" She's playing for Girls Inc., which empowers all girls to be strong, smart, and bold.
John Michael Higgins is everywhere, especially America Says, where he's honestly one of the most solid game shows hosts of the past decade. He's also the principal in the reboot of Saved by the Bell, as a self-described "dunk tank clown". He's playing for Actors Equity Foundation, an organization that helps ensure financial support for theaters and thespians. He started as a stage actor, and this year really hurt actors.

Nia probably doesn't need to go AUDITIONING FOR AMERICAN IDOL, but of course, that comes back for Season 5 on ABC next year.

That's really cute. Jodie realizes that it's time for the sequel, DUMB AND DUMBER TO.

Pat talks about how Jodie really loves to play the Wheel of Fortune slots. Michael talks about America Says, and how Pat was a great inspiration, and Nia's status as a middle child (but as a Canadian, not really competitive).

Nice to have a new episode tonight after a few weeks off, it's felt like it's been a long time since the last one.

WTF ABC for going to commercial after Jodie picked up the MDW in the second game and then came back just after she hit bankrupt.

The first bonus puzzle was very tough without additional letters, I thought of POISON but I was trying to think of an animal rather than IVY. Having the Is up might've done it. The second one was solvable, Jodie just couldn't come up with that second word.

I was a little disappointed Jodie didn't say "How rude!" and there was no mention of Vanna's Full House cameo.

This was an interesting return from a multi-weeklong hiatus.

Aside from the contestants’ banter with each other and Pat, some highlights were Nia’s upset in the first game and her big first round in the second game (which made me nervous). Michael’s last spin in the first game was painful to watch, but Jodie did a great job catching up and winning the second game.

I solved the all three main rounds in the first game with just the first letter and no-lettered R3 in the second game. I also nailed both BRs with the winners’ picks. In both cases, the hot vowel would’ve done it (or even Jodie’s affinity for W in the second BR).

First rating: 6
Second rating: 7

Luckily, my station (KABC) avoided that mishap.

This is why we watch. Not only for the gut punch, but the random acts of insanity that make you cheer for total strangers, the brothers doing "YMCA," or the wife jumping into her husbands arms which led to the greatest ad lib between Pat & Vanna, etc, etc, etc).

There's a reason this show has been on so long.

I'll never quit watching. Hopefully, you won't either.

Also, GETTING CANCELED was a pretty funny puzzle to see considering who the EP was (and supposed to be Jeopardy host) at the time this was recorded.
