Celebrity Jeopardy!

Nothing turns me off more than having a special Jeopardy where it's just celebrities jerking each other off answering questions about other celebrities.

So many categories are about which actor did this, starred in this show, or also does this. It's like the more these guys know each other the better they will do on the show.

The questions are also rather simple. I will say no more than 15% of the questions are actually stumpers. I don't feel engaged at all with the celebrities when I keep answering a long with them when most of the questions are basic knowledge or hard not to know clues.

Lastly, did they run out of celebrities because so many of these "celebrities" just have 1 Netflix show that no one has heard of them or the show. When I said the celebrities jerk each other off, they did this constantly with the after break interviews always asking about what tv show/movie they are working on now and who they get to work with. Really? Just one time talk about them outside of Hollywood. Nope, they won't do it.

Only reason I give it 2 stars because there were a few select individuals who do seem out of their league compared to their opposition.

With Jeopardy nearly finishing its 41st season, I'm gonna talk about the celebrity version of America's Favorite and Long-Running Quiz Show.

Before it became a regular primetime series, it would be an occasional special week-long event of the regular rotation of regular Jeopardy!, which started in 1992 until they were discontinued in 2015.

In 2022, 2 years after the late Alex Trebek passed away from cancer, ABC decided to cash into Jeopardy again after their short-lived Super Jeopardy tournament in the summer of 1990, bringing back Celebrity Jeopardy, but as a tournament event. Mayim Bialik, who was alternating with Ken Jennings as the host of regular Jeopardy, was the host for the 1st season before ultimately getting let go due to her connection with the writers and actors strikes, leading Jennings to replace Bialik starting with the 2nd season.

So if you like questions and answers and celebrities, then enjoy Celebrity Jeopardy!.

"Celebrity Jeopardy!" remains a reliably entertaining format. There's a certain thrill in watching contestants tackle trivia, and the show's structure mirrors the classic 'Jeopardy!' experience we all know and love. It's comfort television, really. The charitable aspect adds a nice touch, too. However, I've noticed a shift in the 2025 season that's left me a little puzzled, and frankly, the title 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' seems to be a bit of a misnomer this year. While I have the utmost respect for every contestant, it feels like the 'celebrity' quotient has dipped significantly. Where we used to see A-list actors, prominent athletes, and well-known figures, this season seems to feature a lot of... well, less recognizable individuals. It's not a matter of talent or intelligence; it's simply that the show's 'star power' feels diminished. It's a strange contrast. We're still getting the 'Jeopardy!' experience, but the buzz that comes with seeing big names compete is noticeably absent. I wonder if it's a matter of scheduling conflicts, budget constraints, or a deliberate shift in focus. Whatever the reason, it does take away from the overall excitement. To be clear, I'm not trying to be disrespectful to anyone who has appeared on the show. Everyone who appears on the show is a celebrity to someone, and they all are donating to good causes. It is just that the marketing of the show, and the expectations that have been set, are not being met. The title of the show itself, 'Celebrity Jeopardy!,' implies a level of recognizable stardom that simply isn't consistently present this season. Ultimately, 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' is still a fun watch, but I hope future seasons can recapture some of that old Hollywood magic, and perhaps reconsider the title if the current trend continues.

Jeopardy is my version of doing crossword puzzles to sharpen my mind. This celebrity version is totally mindless. The questions are absolutely juvenile. I can easily answer almost every clue. It is as if it was designed for a twelve year old. It is such a dumbed down version of the real show. And, the so called celebs spend so much time trying to be cute and entertaining it is just annoying. These celebs are little known and are auditioning for affection and attention at the expense of the show. It is really sad to see people so desperate for attention.

I think it is a disgrace that Jeopardy approved this show. I know it can be better in time.

Some contestants were a little to much, and yes at times they could be childish, but I think the show is fun for thise who want it. Some people think jeopardy is just for super smart people, so its nice that they have celebs on. I think it should be renewed, but maybe moved to an earlier time slot. I do believe they coild find a different shoe to put on in prime time, or maybe move it to a Monday. I still think kts a great program, with a decent host, and okay contestants. So I look forward to seeing the show back this fall.

I don't know what else to put here, because theres a minimum character limit. So I'm just using this fill the space.
