Emma Stone said that she wants to be on Jeopardy (the mothership, not the celebrity one), and she applies every year to be on the show. However, they never call her.

Yesterday, when Ken Jennings was on Good Morning America, he had a message for this year’s Oscar nominee.

“I understand you are a fan of the show. I understand, like me, you try our for Jeopardy regularly,” the host said. “I just want to encourage you. I want you to keep studying. I want you to be the one who breaks my record on Jeopardy, 75 straight games. Good luck!”

Could you imagine if that happened? They would break the television.

Emma Stone is a celebrity, but that doesn’t mean she wants to be on Celebrity Jeopardy.

She told Variety that she wants to be on OG Jeopardy. “I apply every June,” the actress said. “I don’t want to go on ‘Celebrity Jeopardy.’ I want to earn my stripes. You can only take the test once a year with your email address, and I’ve never gotten on the show. I watch it every single night and I mark down how many answers I get right. I swear, I could go on ‘Jeopardy.’”

Maybe it is because I hated The Curse so much. But she needs to get over herself. Smarter actors have done Celebrity Jeopardy, and it was good enough for them.

Pop culture is always hit or miss on Jeopardy. But when it comes to ’80s musicians, the contestants aced that category. So are you Jeopardy Smart when it comes to ’80s No. 1 Hitmakers?

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.
