Yesterday, Jeopardy did a Wheel of Fortune and asked the contestants to combine two TV titles that end and start with the same word. It would be something like Charlie Sheen could write jingles for Ray Romano’s party store. The answer would be Two and a Half Men of a Certain Age.
See, isn’t that fun? Press play, and see if you can get all of the television overlaps!
Yesterday on Jeopardy, Ken Jennings asked Kate Kostelnik, Brian Dixon, and TJ Fisher a simple question for Final Jeopardy. And they all got it wrong.
What was it? The category was “TV 2025” and the question was, “The star of this new streaming drama said, ‘Nobody could gain a pound, lose a pound…we had to look exactly the same for 7 months.'”
Now, if they asked who said that, that would have been harder. However, it was so easy the way that it was written that even I guessed it correctly.
Still don’t know what the answer is? This episode was probably taped before the Emmys. So would it have helped had they said, “…this multi-Emmy-winning new streaming drama…”
Then you would know the answer is, “The Pitt.” It was well known that the series takes place during one emergency room shift. Therefore, that is why everyone had to look the same throughout the 15 episodes. Even though they treated patients really quickly. The timeline didn’t work. I mean, how are they going to handle a mass shooting with all of those patients in just 3 hours? They are not. But what do I know? I am just a viewer.
A few weeks ago, Stephon Vann came up with a group dance for the Law & Order theme song. Now, he is back with a new instrumental theme song, and this time he and a friend are busting a groove to the Jeopardy melody.
Who knew you could make that tune so hip? But he did! And I can’t wait to see which show opener he does next. What do you think he should tackle?
I don’t know about you, but it seems like James Gunn is everywhere promoting Superman, which comes out on the 11th. Now, we can add another place to that list, Jeopardy.
The director and co-CEO of DC Universe told the three contestants five facts about the comics and their movies. How did they do? You can say they were on the gunn, James Gunn!
I also learned something from him. Am I the only one who didn’t know that DC stood for Detective Comics? Please don’t tell my dad (who was in one of Gunn’s early Troma movies) that I didn’t know. He would be very disappointed in me.
Believe it or not, I majored in advertising in college. You don’t. Don’t worry, neither did my teachers.
Since I majored in advertising, I love commercials. I am that one person who doesn’t mind watching them on television.
Therefore, when I saw that Jeopardy had a category about Memorable Commercials, I knew I was going to get all the answers correct, and I did.
How did you do?
Too bad they didn’t ask, “In 1999, everyone was using this word catchphrase from Budweiser commercials.” Why? Just so we could hear a contestant say, “What is, Whatsuppppp?”
