The role of a host for the JEOPARDY! Bar League is critical in bringing this exciting event to life. Hosts serve as the face of the event each night, commanding the room and engaging with participants to ensure an enjoyable and competitive experience. If you have experience acting, teaching, guiding tours, or any form of live performance, you'll find that your skills align perfectly with the host's responsibilities. Hosting requires more than just enthusiasm; it demands a good command of technology, as the game is run through a web-based app that hosts must be proficient in using. In addition to running the event smoothly, hosts will complete training—both online and/or in-person—to master the use of the hosting tools and basic audiovisual setups. The position requires availability primarily on Tuesday and/or Wednesday evenings, with hosts expected to arrive by 6:30 p.m. The role includes both regular weekly hosting opportunities and substitute hosting positions, which may lead to more frequent gigs as new venues join. Importantly, candidates must be at least 21 years old, own a working laptop (tablets and iPads are not compatible), and plan to remain in their area for at least one year, ensuring reliability and consistency for the venues and participants. As a host, you will not only entertain and educate but get paid to learn new facts and create a fun, memorable night for trivia lovers. Benefits include flexible scheduling, referral bonuses, sick pay based on events worked, and the chance to engage in an intellectually stimulating and entertaining job.
