...trivia marathon. He hits trivia night in a Boston bar and kibitzes at a college quiz-bowl championship. He exhumes such trivia titans of yesteryear as John Timbs, the author of the 1856 best seller Things Not Generally Known, and Ruth Horowitz, the rebus-solving legend who dominated 20 straight episodes of Concentration in 1966. And of course Jennings gives us all the nerd-on-nerd action from his Jeopardy! stint, which he graciously chalks up to luck and good buzzer technique...

The boys from “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” would be proud. Disappointingly, the course will no longer be offered. The department itself is undergoing numerous changes, both in the courses it offers and its leadership. Having taken a year-long absence, Bradley Epps will formally take over as Head of the Department for the next...
