On Seinfeld, Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer were a team seen as one. But they were also their own individuals with their own voices.
I bet if someone said to you, “If I said a line from the sitcom, I bet you could tell me who said it?” You would probably would accept the challenge.
That is what Celebrity Jeopardy asked Roy Wood Jr., Natalie Morales, and Robin Thede to do. How did they do? They got them all correct. Because you don’t have to have seen every episode to hear Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Michael Richards’ voices as Ken Jennings read the clues.
Jeopardy is a game show, and NYPD Blue is a detective show. And the former wanted to see how well the contestants knew the latter with the category of TV Sleuthing.
It would be a question like, “Who played the bald headed detective who sucked on lollipops?” The answer is, “Who is the sexy Telly Savalas?”
While that answer might be hard for some people, the contestants and I had no problem getting all of the questions correct. How did you do?
Jeopardy had a category dedicated to the Disney Princesses. However, it was not about the pretty woman looking for their Prince Charming. Instead, it was about the evil people in their lives.
It was not just about the villains. It was about what they said. It would be like, “The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There’s a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird, weird. So we didn’t do that this time.” The answer would be, “Who is Rachel Zegler?”
Just joking. It would be like, “Mirror, mirror, on the wall – who is the fairest one of all?” The answer, as we all know, is the Evil Queen.
I didn’t realize until this category that we remember more what the villains say than what the Princesses and their Prince Charmings say in their films. So that makes me wonder, are they true the stars? I know, as an adult, I always root for the bad guys because I see myself in them.
Jeopardy got catty the other night because they had a category called Star Wars.
I thought it was going to be about the movies, but I was wrong. It was about movie/TV stars who don’t get along. So it would be like, “These two actresses from Snow White not only hated each other on the set.” The answer would be, “What is Gal Gadot and Rachel Zegler?”
I can’t believe that Jeopardy went there. But they did. And I hope they do it again.
Pop Culture Jeopardy decided to have some fun with scary films by doing a category all about Horror Made Wholesome.
It would be like, “A man loves his mother so much that he keeps her around so that they can always be together until his death they do part.”
It was a lot of fun to see how they made some of the most famous Horror movies seem like something you want to take your kid to. But then again, my dad took me to see those types of films when I was a kid. So my kids would get the real description.
Oh, and Colin Jost and I were able to figure out a clue because we both took Latin.
