that he draws in viewers, thus making the sponsors happy. As long as they pay the freight, the show with James might just go on ad infinitum, till the veiwers have had enough...I think James figured that out, too.

BTW, long, long ago I was on Jeopardy back when Art Fleming was host and I was living in NY, where the show originated from intially. I didn't make it past the first show but it was fun (even tho a bit nerve wracking for me since I was due to nurse my 8 mo. old daughter and I thought I might not make it back in time...there's an interesting story right there!).
