Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of movies that have foods in the title? I didn’t either until Jeopardy had a category called, I’ve Got The Movie Title Munchies.
It has clues like, “Kathy Bates starred in this movie that is named after a Southern appetizer.” The answer would be, “What is Fried Green Tomatoes?”
Personally, I think that they taste better than film. Although I loved that after she hit the car of the brats who took her parking space, she told them, “I’m older and I have more insurance.”
But that was not the point of the post. The post is more about how hungry I am after watching all those contestants guess those answers!
If you watch Jeopardy, then you know that Ken Jennings has a lot of ties. What is, how many? According to Steven Zimbleman, Jeopardy’s head costumer, the host has…198!
How close did you get when you tried to count them? I got to 22 because I am a girl!
Seriously, I think he needs at least two more to even things out!
On Seinfeld, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer were a team seen as one. But they were also their own individuals with their own voices.
I bet if someone said to you, “If I said a line from the sitcom, I bet you could tell me who said it?” You would probably would accept the challenge.
That is what Celebrity Jeopardy asked Roy Wood Jr., Natalie Morales, and Robin Thede to do. How did they do? They got them all correct. Because you don’t have to have seen every episode to hear Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards’ voices as Ken Jennings read the clues.
Jeopardy is a game show, and NYPD Blue is a detective show. And the former wanted to see how well the contestants knew the latter with the category of TV Sleuthing.
It would be a question like, “Who played the bald headed detective who sucked on lollipops?” The answer is, “Who is the sexy Telly Savalas?”
While that answer might be hard for some people, the contestants and I had no problem getting all of the questions correct. How did you do?
Jeopardy had a category dedicated to the Disney Princesses. However, it was not about the pretty woman looking for their Prince Charming. Instead, it was about the evil people in their lives.
It was not just about the villains. It was about what they said. It would be like, “The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird, weird. So we didn’t do that this time.” The answer would be, “Who is Rachel Zegler?”
Just joking. It would be like, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall – who is the fairest one of all?” The answer, as we all know, is the Evil Queen.
I didn’t realize until this category that we remember more what the villains say than what the Princesses and their Prince Charmings say in their films. So that makes me wonder, are they true the stars? I know, as an adult, I always root for the bad guys because I see myself in them.
