In the last 25 years, Disney musicals have gone from the big screen to the Great White Way. In honor of the milestone, Jeopardy gave the Broadway productions their own category. How well did you do when you put their service to the test? If you don’t get all five, then you can no longer be my guest.
I don’t know about you, but I sometimes confuse Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez since they were like the same person for so long. Turns out I am not the only one because Lindsey on Jeopardy did the same thing and it cost her $200.
I don’t know why but that wrong answer gave me so much joy.
Yesterday on Jeopardy, Dhruv Gaur did not know the answer to the Final Jeopardy question. Therefore, he wrote a sweet message to the host that reads, “What is we ❤️ you, Alex!” When Alex Trebek read that, you can hear him get chocked up by the very touching (and accurate) sentiment.
While Gaur did not win the game, he did win all of our hearts! He truly is a nice guy because he tweeted this after the show aired, “I’m just very grateful I got the opportunity to say what I know everyone was thinking. Sending all the love.” So are we!
Back in March, Alex Trebek revealed that he is battling Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. Most of the time when it is diagnosed, the patient finds out in the final stage of the disease. That means that their 5-year survival rate is “in the single digits.”
The Jeopardy host wishes he knew earlier that the symptoms he was experiencing were signs he had this cancer. That is why he is teaming up with World Pancreatic Cancer Coalition to let people know that the persistent stomach pain, mid back pain, sudden weight loss, new-onset diabetes and yellowing of skin and eyes are all “common symptoms” of this cancer.
Hopefully, by spreading the word, this cancer will stop spreading to stage 4 before the person knows they have it. He is saving lives by getting this important message out there and hopefully one of them is his own.
Jeopardy got hip the other night when they wanted to see if they could remember what songs hit #1 in the ’90s. While it is a nice trip down memory lane, it is also sad. That is because three of the singers are no longer with us. I guess we cannot all chase waterfalls forever.
How well did you do with the category? Are you sixpence none the richer?
