Yesterday was the semi-finals of Celebrity Jeopardy, and the Final Jeopardy answer was really hard. So hard it stumped all of the contestants.
Ken Jennings asked the contestants, “According to the BBC, this 1953 event ‘did more than any other to make television a mainstream media.'”
I had no clue. Neither did Katie Nolan, Dulé Hill, and Steven Weber. However, the latter two gave their best guesses.
Well, maybe not the best guesses, but the funniest ones. The Psych star wrote down, “What I don’t know,” and the Wings star guessed, “What is the end.”
Both actors waged it all, bringing their winnings to a big fat zero. Would Nolan move on to the finals with her wrong answer? Yes, because even though she is not witty like her co-contestants, she was wise not to bet it all.
Sadly, she moves on, and the other two go home with $50,000 for their charities. It bums me they are done because I would have liked to see what more they could have done.
