Many viewers across the internet have expressed their distaste for Craig’s behavior.
One person complained on Reddit, “I’ve watched Jeopardy for decades and don’t recall seeing such rudeness.” Another added, “The clapping at the end was unnecessary.”
Someone jumped to Craig’s defense and wrote, “Heaven forbid a contestant have enough situational awareness to understand the importance of that clue and celebrate a little when he beat out two tough competitors to it.”
Another fan responded in disagreement, “Sorry, we’ve seen this happen in dozens, if not hundreds of similar situations, and I can’t think of anyone ever reacting like that. It’s just poor sportsmanship.”

The Writers Guild of America has withdrawn its state court suit against Wme, CAA, UTA and ICM Partners alleging packaging fees are illegal and re-filed suit in federal court.
The WGA also responded to antitrust claims brought against the guild by the three agencies. Those agency suits alleged that the WGA abused its power in April by telling members to fire their agents if those agents had not signed the new Code of Conduct.
“Over the years the major agencies have repeatedly broken federal antitrust law by conspiring to fix the price of packaging fees,” said WGA West president David A. Goodman. “Their current campaign to preserve the packaging fee model by strong-arming smaller agencies also violates the law. We are simply asking the court to stop these agencies from illegally enriching themselves at the expense of writers.”

The teaser Trailer for ‘Rapid Eye Movement‘ has been released, and it sure is a doozie. The plot of the movie centers around a man who attempts to break the 11-day world record for staying awake in the heart of Times Square. The film began shooting in New York all the way back in November of 2015, and the first teaser trailer is finally here. The film feels very reminiscent of films like ‘Buried‘ and ‘Phone Booth‘, seemingly taking place in one singular location. The film was shot almost exclusively in Times Square, and the filmmakers were given unprecedented access to the famous landmark. They were even allowed to construct a custom-built sound booth for shooting of the film.
‘Rapid Eye Movement‘ was directed by Francois Arnaud, and the movie was produced by Tentmaker Pictures and We Are Films through Fredrick Weiss, Peter Bishai, Gary Khon and Aaron Craig. The film stars Arnaud,...
