We all know the melody to the Jeopardy Think Music. Now we can learn the lyrics that Sting wrote for the song.
Tonight the game show is going to debut his take on the catchy tune that gets stuck in your head. The lyrics are, “Of all the things in my CV, everything in life from A to Z, but how I wish my ma could see, here I am on Jeopardy!”
Are you singing along with him, or are you like can we have another star do it?
Ryan Gosling has been in so many identifiable films that Jeopardy gave him his own category. Press play, answer the answers and then tell me how you did.
When it comes to me, I bombed. I kept guessing, “what is, Lars and the Real Girl?” Sadly, it wasn’t on the board. I guess I will have to go back to The Notebook and try again.
Back in November, we sadly lost Alex Trebek to cancer. Even though he is no longer with us, the game show must go on. Therefore, Jeopardy is using guest hosts like Ken Jennings. He was the first one to get the job. Now, we know who will be the next after Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Whitaker, and Mayim Bialik. Those lucky four are Dr. Mehmet Oz, Anderson Cooper, Savannah Guthrie, and Dr. Sanjay Gupta.
There is an added benefit for them doing the show. The winnings of each episode they host will be matched and given to a charity of the celebrity’s choice.
This an interesting group of hosts, but I am still petitioning for Neil deGrasse Tyson to be a fill-in. He is knowledgeable, likable, and a cool nerd. He’d be perfect for the job! Another fun guest host would be Wolf Blitzer. He was so awful when he played the game; I’d love to see him fail as a host too.
Since, as Queen says, the show must go on, it did with guest hosts. This week Ken Jennings is hosting the show. In the coming weeks, Katie Couric, Aaron Rodgers, Bill Whitaker, and Mayim Bialik will be asking the answers.
That is an interesting group of celebrities to take over the hosting duties. Then again, I won’t be happy until they ask Neil deGrasse Tyson to do it. He would be the perfect replacement for the job.
On November 8th, Alex Trebek lost his battle with pancreatic cancer. On January 8th, two months after his passing, his final episode of Jeopardy will air.
He taped those episodes back in October, and no one knew they would be his final ones. I think that is how he would have wanted it.
Having said that, the game show promises they will be special. These episodes were originally going to air Christmas week, but they decided to hold them until the new year because of preemptions. Because of the original plan, Monday’s episode will feature a powerful message from Trebek about the season of giving.
Then on Friday, his final episode, Jeopardy will pay tribute to him and his 36+ years hosting the game show that made him one the most loved people in North America.
Get the tissues ready because we are going to need them.
