Most celebrities love hearing that they are a clue on Jeopardy, but not Devan Chandler Long. And he has a good reason.
Ken Jennings asked the contestants, “Devan Chandler Long tried out for the Carolina Panthers but ended up dying to be a Viking playing Thorfinn on the CBS sitcom.” The answer is Ghosts.
When Long found out about it, he had a message for the game show: “Hey Jopardy, Just want to say thank you for reminding me and the world that I failed at becoming a football player. That means a lot. I got to get some therapy now.”
Of course, the oldest ghost on Ghosts was joking. He is thankful for being included.
And I am thankful that Ghosts is back with all new episodes on Thursday at 8:30p.
Devan, Football’s loss is our gain. And don’t forget, The Rock also failed at becoming a football player, and look at him now.
Colin Jost got a new job. He will be hosting the Jeopardy spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy on Prime Video.
Mr. Scarlett Johansson said, “What is: I’m excited.”
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.
I have a feeling that between this news and him working as an Olympics correspondent for NBC, his days at Saturday Night Live are numbered. I wouldn’t even be surprised if he didn’t return this season. Although, he might stay for one last season so he could say he spent 20 years working on the sketch comedy show.
Movie studios sometimes use Jeopardy to promote their movies. On Friday, the game show had a category called Emotions, and Tony Hale, who stars as Fear in Inside Out 2, pretaped the clues for it because the film is about the emotions that live inside of us.
Therefore, that promotion with Disney and Pixar is as intelligent as the contestants on Jeopardy!
Inside Out 2 is out now, and I am going to see it on Wednesday with my teenage nieces. Let the fun times begin after the trailer!
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.

“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.
