We know that Les Nessman worked at WKRP, Homer Simpson works at The Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, and that George Jefferson owned Jefferson Cleaners. But do you know who worked at the Sunshine Cab Company?
That is what Jeopardy wanted to see if the contestants knew with the TV Comedies by Workplace category.
Can you do better than they did? I did! But I am a TV junkie, so categories like this make me Jeopardy Smart!
Mayim Bialik woke up excited to go to the Daytime Emmys because she was nominated for being a host of Jeopardy, but she got some bad news before she hit the red carpet.
“As the holiday break begins in Hollywood, I have some Jeopardy! news,” she wrote. “Sony has informed me that I will no longer be hosting the syndicated version of Jeopardy! I am incredibly honored to have been nominated for a primetime Emmy for hosting this year and I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to have been a part of the Jeopardy! family.
“For all of you who have supported me through this incredible journey and to the fans, contestants, writers, staff and crew of America’s Favorite Quiz Show, thank you.”
The actress opted not to work on the game show while both strikes were going on, even though she was cleared to do so after the WGA strike ended.
Now that the strikes are over, she was ready to go back to work. But I think people realized that Ken Jennings is a much better host and so much more likable than she is.
Seriously, does Jeopardy need two hosts? I don’t think so, and it appears neither did Sony.
Don’t worry about Bialik. She will be fine. She gets Big Bang Theory residual money.
UPDATE: Jeopardy responded to Bialik’s firing. To see what the game show said, then click here!
Celebrities love Taylor Swift. However, Celebrity Jeopardy found the three who don’t know her or her music.
You would think the category Also A Taylor Swift Song would be easy for Kyra Sedgwick, Mo Rocca, and Amanda Seales, but it turns out it was impossible for Mrs. Kevin Bacon.
She is going to have to hide her head in shame. Especially since she lives in New York and didn’t know the last question.
Seriously, this is the saddest thing I have ever seen on Jeopardy. I mean, they aren’t even Nursery School Jeopardy Smart after this category.
Yesterday, on Celebrity Jeopardy, they had a category that was called Roget’s Butt. What was it about? It was dedicated to synonyms for the word butt!
That’s right. Macaulay Culkin, Rachel Dratch, and Becky Lynch had to think of other words for butt that sound like other things from the clues that were given to them. And yes, one of them was ass.
Luckily for Lynch, she didn’t make an ass of herself with that answer. Unlike the first 60 clues, which she didn’t get or guess any of them correctly. Making her the first player to go 60 clues before getting any correct. Yikes!
My friend and I always joke that we are not Jeopardy Smart. She says she is Celebrity Jeopardy Smart, and I tell her I am Preschool Jeopardy Smart!
Anyways, there was a question of regular Jeopardy that made me feel like I was mensa. That is because, for the $800 answer for ’90s Music, the game showed a photo of a singer as Ken Jennings read, “This Country superstar’s Friends in Low Places was named CMA Single of the Year in 1991?” And would you believe none of them knew who Garth Brooks was?
How? I wasn’t even into Country music back then, and I knew who he was. I am flabbergasted that they didn’t know such a simple answer.
Oh, and Garth, don’t feel too bad about them not knowing who you are. Brandon thought that Sheryl Crow was Shania Twain.
