My friend and I have a joke about how Jeopardy smart we are. She says she is Celebrity Jeopardy smart, and I tell her I am Elementary School Jeopardy smart. However, those fifth graders are smarter than me. So I could be wrong.
Anyways, in a few months, we can say we are Pop Culture Jeopardy smart. That is because Prime Video is launching a Jeopardy that is all about Pop Culture.
Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s “answer-and-question” format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the excitement and unpredictability of pop culture. Contestants, playing in teams of three, will need to be experts in categories from Alternative Rock to The Avengers; Broadway to MMA; Gen Z to Zendaya as they compete in a tournament-style event for the grand prize and ultimate bragging rights.
“We couldn’t be more thrilled to collaborate with our partners at Amazon to make Prime Video the home for our new Jeopardy! spinoff series,” said Suzanne Prete, President, Game Shows, Sony Pictures Television. “With Michael Davies at the helm, Pop Culture Jeopardy! is going to be a nail biter for game show enthusiasts who can expect to see teams competing at the highest level of Jeopardy! combined with a fresh twist of pop culture Olympics for the mind…it’s going to be a must-watch for long-time viewers and new fans alike.”
What is, I will be watching!
Another thing I will be watching on Prime Video is The Boys, season 5. That is right, the Superhero series was picked up for another season before this one starts streaming on June 13th.
That is not all. Elle Woods is back with a Legally Blonde prequel series.
Elle follows Elle Woods in high school as we learn about the life experiences that shaped her into the iconic young woman we came to know and love in the first Legally Blonde film.
“I truly couldn’t be more excited about this series! Fans will get to know how Elle Woods navigated her world as a teenager with her distinct personality and ingenuity, in ways that only our beloved Elle could do. What could be better than that?! I’m extremely grateful to the incredible teams at Prime Video and Hello Sunshine – along with our amazing writer Laura Kittrell – for making this dream of mine come true. Legally Blonde is back!,” said Reese Witherspoon.
Finally, Prime Video announced which celebrities are competing on Are You Smarter Than Celebrity? Travis Kelce will be finding out if the contestants are smarter than comedians Nikki Glaser, Natasha Leggero, Nicole Byer, and Ron Funches; Thursday Night Football analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick; former NFL wide receiver Chad Ochocinco; Real Housewife of Beverly Hills’ Garcelle Beauvais; Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent; podcaster Sophia Stallone; and actress and producer Lilly Singh.
ABC sent all of their unscripted series to Hollywood, and seven of them made it to the 2024-2035 season.
The lucky seven are American Idol (season 8 on ABC and 23rd overall), The Bachelor (season 29), and Celebrity Jeopardy! (season 3), Celebrity Wheel of Fortune (season 5), Dancing with the Stars (season 33), Shark Tank (season 16), and What Would You Do? (season 17).
ABC is going to be busy this summer looking for a replacement for Katy Perry, who is leaving American Idol at the end of this season. The network also needs to start looking at who can fill Mark Cuban’s wallet because the mogul announced that next season will be his last on Shark Tank.
Jeopardy wanted to see if the contestants knew who are the 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time, according to Vibe and Billboard. And they knew all five of them.
Shit, even I got that whole category correct! But I am a girl from The Bronx, the birthplace of Rap. However, none of the Rappers that were answers were born there.
Were you the shiznit in this category too?
Oh, and I am so happy that Ken Jennings didn’t Rao any of the questions. Need I say why?
