What is... Pop Culture Jeopardy!?

Are you a pop culture fiend who’s ever watched Jeopardy! and thought, “Hmm… I bet I could do that, but I don’t know enough about old coins or rock formations or what former presidents ate for breakfast”? Now might be your time to shine.

Prime Video announced a new twist on the classic game show today (via Variety): Pop Culture Jeopardy!, which is exactly what it sounds like. Contestants who may not know George Washington’s birthday or Andrew Jackson’s star sign, but definitely know Kerry Washington’s and Janet Jackson’s will compete in teams of three for the grand prize. Sounds like it might be time to dig into the archives of your favorite pop culture site and beef up a bit. (Wink wink!)

The question-and-answer format of the game will remain the same as primary Jeopardy!, which means the show will have to hire more of the writers they tried to move on without during the recent WGA strike. Luckily, those scribes will be able to put any TV and movie trivia they gleaned from talking to new friends on the picket line to good use here.

No host has been announced for the spinoff yet, but OG Jeopardy! EP Michael Davies is on board to produce. This also marks a major milestone in the Jeopardy! universe—Pop Culture Jeopardy! will be the first spinoff of the game created specifically for a major streaming service. Other past off-shoots include VH1's Rock & Roll Jeopardy!, Crackle’s Sports Jeopardy!, Jep! (a children’s version that ran from 1998 to 2000), Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time, Jeopardy! National College Championship, Celebrity Jeopardy!, and Jeopardy! Masters.

That is, of course, not to mention the main daytime version of Jeopardy!, which began in 1964, The syndicated version that we know and love premiered 20 years later in 1984. That’s still going strong, with former player Ken Jennings as the host. His former partner, Mayim Bialik, stepped away from the show last December.
