Is... he... doing well?

No one is doing particularly well. They're all under $1000 at the first commercial break.

He was third before Final Jeopardy, but ended up second. He lost by $3. He seemed very upset. Lol. I don’t find that humorous, but the fact that he didn’t even turn to the winner next to him and congratulate her as the other guy did. I’m a pretty competitive guy myself. My mom said when I was a kid, I’d quit playing a board game if I saw I was going to lose. I hope I’m a better loser now (I’ve had a lot of practice). Lol

Oops. Sorry. Maybe it played earlier here in Oklahoma. I changed above to include Spoiler alert.

I had no idea who he was (I do now). I’m not familiar with him and wasn’t really listening at beginning when they introduced themselves or when Alex chats with them after commercial break. What did he say about himself?

Okay, he really did seem mad.  I think he'll be okay.

He was introduced as a "writer".

Maybe he just needed someone to tell him, “Today will be a good day.”

Tag, according to his interview with Julie James on Sirius Broadway, he's writing a musical adaptation of The Giver at the moment.

He certainly didn't seem to be a very good sport. Sad.

Preferably his brother Ben. He also said he was famous "for having a sandwich named after [him] at a food truck at his alma mater, UPenn". Maybe he's not allowed to specify his time in "Wicked"?

^Maybe he just doesn't want to associate himself with his family's successes, and create his own.

But he totally came off as a douchebag the whole show.

I had no idea he was Ben Platt's brother but at the end I said to my Mom "What a sore loser he is!!!", as we watched him angrily not shake anyones hand and just look down at the floor.

I mean sure not shaking people’s hands is ****ty but like it’s not a huge deal? For all intents and purposes people I know who’ve met him say he’s a really sweet guy, everyone has their off moments and days tho.

True. Unfortunately, his bad day was televised for posterity.

I'm not sure how long ago this was taped, but what I saw was a guy who recently lost his brother.

I don’t understand. Have he and Ben had a falling out? Or is there another brother I’m not aware of?

I think you're thinking of Jonah HILL.

Dottie- the Platts did not lose a brother- are you thinking of Beanie Feldstein losing her brother?

[smidge]

Posted: 2/26/18 at 11:27pm

Dottie’s confusion is understandable. Jonah Platt and Ben Platt are siblings. Ben’s best friend is Beanie, sister of Jonah Hill . Beanie and Jonah Hill’s brother, Jordan, passed in December.
