Celebrity Pop Culture made its debut on Prime Video, but they passed on a second season. So Netflix came in and saved the Jeopardy spinoff that is hosted by Saturday Night Live’s Colin Jost.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the exciting and ever-changing world of pop culture. Contestants compete on teams to test their knowledge on a variety of categories as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
Today, the streamer announced the premiere date for the 20-episode second season. That date is May 11th, and a new episode will drop every weekday until June 5th.
Conan O’Brien has made it! Not because he is hosting the Oscars for a second time on Sunday. He made it because he read a category about them on Jeopardy yesterday.
For the $200 clue of the category Oscar Night with Conan O’Brien, he asked the contestants, “Bob Hope hosted the ceremony an amazing 19 times. Coming in second with nine shows between 1990 and 2012 is this man [there is a photo of Billy Crystal on the screen], who I hereby challenge to a host song-and-dance off. I’m going to tune you up and take you down man.”
So, I hereby ask you, who do you think would win the host song-and-dance off? Even at 77, Crystal would wipe the floor with the 6’4″ redheaded host. However, if they added Jimmy Kimmel to the mix, they would both destroy him!
The final season of Outlander begins on Starz tonight, so the actors have been promoting the show all over the place.
Yesterday, Sam Heughan popped up on Jeopardy to read the category, “The 18th Century World with Jamie Fraser.” Basically, the game show asked the contestants factual-accuracy questions from the show to see how well they know the 1700s.
Jeopardy shared a clip of Ryan Gosling playing Final Jeopardy. So, is the actor a future champion on the game show? What is, NO! It was just a promo for his upcoming movie Project Hail Mary, which comes out on March 20th.
What made this clip so special is that he called out his one true love, Eva Mendes, in the answer he wrote down. Barbie’s Ken never really acknowledges his relationship, so by doing it so subtly was just so sweet. She is a very lucky woman. But we already knew that.
Gosling is not perfect (I am shocked as you are), and Jeopardy shared a blooper from this appearance. To see it, then click here!
Scrubs is back on ABC tonight. But yesterday, Zach Braff was on Jeopardy, reading the category Fake Doctors, Real Actors.
While he did a great job, the clues were disappointing. They were easy, but missed a lot of great TV doctors. And yes, Grey’s Anatomy was represented because that seems to be the only medical show out there.
Seriously, why didn’t they have this question: “This actor starred in a sitcom and drama with the same title, ER.”
