Pop Culture Jeopardy!

Oh, come on, it's just a light fluffy show and I love it. I'll watch it sometimes when I eat lunch or whatever, it's got a nice even upbeat pace without being too over the top.

Hosting this thing is not easy, and I think Colin Jost is doing a fantastic job.

Is it perfect - no, but what is perfect? For me it's the perfect thing when I just need to turn my brain off for 15 minutes from the badness and madness that is happening around me. And I don't underestimate the value of that.

It takes an episode or two for them to really hit their stride, and it also took me an episode or two to get used to it. But once I was, I fell in love.

The second quarterfinal show was so amazing that I was buzzing afterwards.

I really hope they keep making these - I think it could become as popular for streaming as regular Jeopardy. My friends are obsessed with it and we tell everyone we can to watch it. I think if they keep making episodes, it will find its audience.

Check it out if you just want some marshmallow in your life.

Having the dynamic of three teams with three players each means you can have more human to human interactions in the show. Colin's little jokes, and everyone taking it in good fun, really makes it such a positive space. Polycules, couples and friends, even returning Jeopardy contestants, it's just fun. With everything going on in the world, having this fun escape is just that: Fun. I've gone full games only knowing four answers but the way it all goes down is just so entertaining that I don't care.

Also. Legitimately. There have been some ridiculous comebacks. One's you can't help but cheer for while going, "Oh noooo! What!!? What?!" Just good. Wonderful content.

As I've now read some of the negative reviews, allow me to add some extra bits: Pop Culture is a vast category. Pop Culture trivia games at bars regularly have teams, this is just an extension of that niche. It does not but mean there aren't still people who know plenty of historical facts. Further still, if one thinks Colin is 'over-the-top', then I'd like to suggest watching game shows from either Japan or Mexico to receive better context for what 'over-the-top' actually entails.

Please get a different host if you make more episodes of Pop Culture Jeopardy! This guy Colin Jost thinks he's funny but he definitely is not. Patton Oswalt, Felicia Day, Chris Hardwick or Wil Wheaton would be a huge improvement if one of them were the host.

In general, I like the format of three teams of three players. I was intrigued by the triple play clue and like to see more of them per game. It's fun hearing the story behind each team's name and how they know each other. I would love to see a celebrity version of this show either with their relatives or former co-stars.

I probably would have given this show 8 stars if it had a better host.

Let's see.....Where to begin.

1) The host is LAME, he has the charisma of a comatose patient.

2) The team format is stupid, feels like the show can't decide if it wants to be Jeopardy or Family Feud. And just like Family Feud, most of the contestants are unlikeable. So it's difficult to root for anyone.

3) Most of the trivia (and the overall feel of the show) is catered to a Gen Z audience. I could easily see this version of Jeopardy being added to the already horrendous programming on MTV or E!

To put it simply. After suffering through five episodes, I had enough. As a big fan of trivia, I'd rather play Trivial Pursuit by myself, than sit through another episode of this drek.

Put that in your Daily Double.

I don't know what these other reviews are on but they don't like having fun! I think this show is full of charisma and actually one of the most entertaining shows I've seen in a long time.

Colin Jost is the best host and one of the main reasons I love this show. It's so much more fun than any regular Jeopardy out there and the team aspect is entertaining and unique every episode. If you want to answer the smartest jeopardy questions then maybe this won't be your favorite show, but I love pop culture and feel like I can relate to this show the most! The humor is a little dry and always funny, so give it a try. Or just watch the normal jeopardy and keep the negativity to yourself.
