Primetime TV Review: Pop Culture Jeopardy!
TV Review!
“Pop Culture Jeopardy!” Review by Eva 12/15/2024
I was really looking forward to the premiere of this spinoff of Jeopardy! because it is all about pop culture and I enjoy pop culture. I think I know a few things about it. I thought to myself I could be pretty good at this version of Jeopardy!. I found out I am good at it but I also learned things I didn’t know which makes a game show fun to watch.
The show is played tournament style with teams of three people at each podium instead of one person at each podium like in regular Jeopardy! The host of the show is Colin Jost from Saturday Night Live Weekend Update. Jost does a good job as host. The team that wins the tournament wins $300,000.
I liked the game and I think it will be a hit for Amazon Prime, it even has a new type of clue called the triple play which means you have to answer with three questions.
I really don’t like the three person teams because it distracts me too much from the game.
New episodes are posted on Wednesday.
I give this show 5 out of 5 stars because it is fun to watch.
