tv game shows - jeopardy holds auditions in florida

An estimated 2,000 people turned out in Hallandale Beach, Fla., to audition for the syndicated TV game show "Jeopardy!"

Hope turned to disappointment for many of those who came to Saturday's tryouts after series employees started conducting written trivia examinations, The Miami Herald reported.

JoAnn Hill, a 65-year-old woman who had hoped to get on the show, said passing the initial tests was too much for her.

"It was extremely hard,'' Hill told the Herald. "When you turn your test in, they tell you if you passed or flunked. I flunked.''

Those who managed to pass were invited back for another round of tests, to see if they have what it takes to compete on the show.
