Yesterday, on Saturday Night Live’s 50th during Black Jeopardy, none of the contestants had ever heard of the variety show.
While that was SNL, would the contestants on Jeopardy do a better job answering the clues to questions about the comedy show? They did! However, there was one question that they all got wrong, and I think White Doug would’ve gotten correct!
Now that SNL is 50! Jeopardy could’ve had a whole board dedicated to the series. Lord knows, there are enough factoids for 30 clues. For example, This current SNL player hosts Pop Culture Celebrity.
Celebrity Jeopardy is easier than Jeopardy and Pop Culture Jeopardy. However, it was not easy enough for Susie Essman, Blake Anderson, and Robin Thede on yesterday’s episode.
I mean, it was obvious because the Workaholics star ended the first two rounds with just $500. But that is not why I am saying that the show was too difficult for them.
The Final Jeopardy movie category was 1980s Movie Themes, and the clue was, “This Song was inspired by an ad in the film itself, which sounded like TV commercials for pest control services.”
Simple right? Not one of the “celebrities” got it, or even tried to come up with a movie it could have been a theme for. Too bad this game show is Who Wants to Be a Millionaire because then Jimmy Kimmel could have asked them, “Who ya gonna call,” and then maybe, at least one of them would have known the answer.
Now, I have to say something nice about Anderson. At least he was smart enough to only wager $2. Granted, at $500, that is not that big of a deal.
I love it when Jeopardy comes up with categories that are so out there that they are awesome.
Case in point, on Pop Culture Jeopardy, they asked the contestants to answer clues about A Dark View of the Film.
What is the category about? It would be like, “This young girl is showing early signs of schizophrenia because the voices in her head are telling her what to do.” The answer would be Inside/Out.
That is the lame one I came up with. However, the writers did a better job than I did. And Colin Jost had so much fun reading the answers.
How sick are the contestants? They got all of the questions correct! How did you do?
Pop Culture Jeopardy had an interesting category on the show last week. Colin Jost wanted to see how well the contestants knew these five people who were “Unalived on Film.”
When I saw the category title, I thought it was going to be about Zombies. If it was, then I would’ve been the brains in the bunch, and the Walking Dead would have a lot to eat. But, alas, it was not. Instead, it was about people who were killed in movies. And because of that, the Zombies walked on by me because there were no brains for them to munch on.
I thought that this version of the game show was going to be easy, but it is not. That is so not fair.
Colin Jost comes off as a nice guy from Staten Island, but he showed signs of being a true New Yorker during yesterday’s Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live.
Last week on Wheel of Fortune, a contestant accidentally knocked Ryan Seacrest during a winning hug.
Well, Jost, who hosts his own game show, Pop Culture Jeopardy, had a message for anyone who plans to do that to him. Don’t you dare do that to him because he has a gun behind his podium. So if you win, celebrate with the two people you are playing with, not Mr. Scarlett Johansson.
