As yet another loser who's auditioned more than once for "Jeopardy," (and w/ real questions, not the softball shit they feed celebs) we can tell you that the buzzer is complicated. As can others.
If you do make it on, remember that it’s all about the buzzer. You cannot buzz in to answer a question until they manually flip on a set of lights that you can’t see in the TV broadcast. Essentially, 40-50% of the questions are known to everyone on the stage, and it’s just a matter of who buzzes in first. Practice with a ball-point pen.That's what the casting people tell you, to sit at home & practice w/ a ball-point. (While watching "Jeopardy," ninny.) The buzzer isn't available until Alex Trebek has started the last syllable of the "answer;" click accordingly.
We aren't excusing Wolf Blitzer, Soledad O'Brien, or anyone else. And note that it was funnyman Andy Richter (Our favorite part? At 5 mins., 10 secs.)who took away the big bucks, as did Michael McKean, another funnyman favorite of this web log.

Why do you even turn that Television Tube Thing on?
In my experience, it only leads to crying.

As we type we're watching Moonday Evening Football, which you may not currently be enjoying, even if if hasn't reduced you to tears yet.
Radio's worse & music is irritating about 50% of our time.
But mostly because when shit explodes, we want to see it first!!
