I know most people grew up on Disney, but I am a Nickelodeon girl. So, I thought the category From Disney to A-list on Celebrity Pop Jeopardy would be hard for me. But it wasn’t because I knew all but one of those answers due to the stars becoming A-list names. How well did you do?
I have been covering entertainment news and gossip for a really long time, so you would think I would remember which celebrities used to date, like Lenny Kravitz and Nicole Kidman. And you would be wrong.
How do I know this? Because Colin Jost asked the contestants on Pop Culture Jeopardy that very question. While they got all five clues correctly, I did not.
How did you do? And which celebrities do you remember dating that no one else does? I’ll start. Did you know that Jennifer Aniston and Charlie Schlatter dated when they played brother and sister on Ferris Bueller?
Jeopardy thought that the contestant would sink their teeth into the category The Cinematic Vampire, with Nosferatu’s Nicholas Hoult and Lily-Rose Depp asking the questions. However, they sucked, and not in a good way.
In their defense, that category was hard, and not in a good way.
It is almost that time of year when we get to find out which celebrities we are smarter than on Celebrity Jeopardy. Well, most of them, at least.
And it would be nice to know who is competing on the game show this season. Right? Entertainment Weekly revealed that they are: Ana Navarro (The View), Rachel Brosnahan (The Marvelous Ms. Maisel), Neil deGrasse Tyson, Blake Anderson (Workaholics), Corbin Bleu (High School Musical), Yvette Nicole Brown (Community), D’Arcy Carden (The Good Place), Margaret Cho (Fire Island), Seth Green (Robot Chicken), Max Greenfield (New Girl), Sean Gunn (Gilmore Girls), Camilla Luddington (Grey’s Anatomy), Natalie Morales (Dead to Me), Melissa Peterman (Happy’s Place), Roy Wood Jr. (The Daily Show), Brian Jordan Alvarez (English Teacher), W. Kamau Bell (United Shades of America), Sherry Cola (Joy Ride), Chris Distefano (Benders), Omar J. Dorsey (Queen Sugar), Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm), Fortune Feimster (The Mindy Project), David Friedberg (All-In), Mina Kimes (ESPN’s Around The Horn), Phoebe Robinson (Everything’s Trash), Robin Thede (A Black Lady Sketch Show), Jackie Tohn (Nobody Wants This).
Who are you rooting for? I want my JHS alum, Neil deGrasse Tyson, to win. This way, I can say my JHS has a Dancing with the Stars champ and host, and a Celebrity Jeopardy champ because we can dance and we’s smart! Well, they can say that, and I can say I went to school with them. And this is all about me.
Celebrity Jeopardy with host Ken Jennings will return to ABC on January 9th.
I always joke that if I ever got on Jeopardy, I would get the worst score ever.
However, this Final Jeopardy clue gives me hope that I could get at least one question correctly.
What was this hard clue that all the contestants missed? It was, “A prop central to the title character on this ’60s sitcom began as a special edition whiskey decanter?”
What is it? One contestant didn’t guess, and the other two thought it was Dick Van Dyke.
How did none of them know that it was I Dream of Jeannie? It was so easy! Especially since the show has been airing nonstop since most of us were born.
