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!.

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.

This sister show to "Jeopardy!" is a pale imitation, but it can be entertaining if you happen to like a particular celebrity contestant.
But the answers are easier than in regular "Jeopardy!". In fact, they are easier than the college and teen versions of the show.
The primary drawback is that the celebrity contestants, feeling self-conscious about their relative lack of knowledge, feel compelled to chat incessantly or make jokes throughout the game.
There is one thing I enjoy about this version: there is a Triple Jeopardy round with even higher valued squares, including more Daily Double squares.

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.

I watch every episode of Jeopardy. I love that show! This celebrity version is not that show. This celebrity version is an insult to Jeopardy fans everywhere. The regular Jeopardy has 61 questions over a1/2 hour. The celeb version has 3 rounds with a total of 91 questions over 1 hour. The questions are dumbed down, even in the third round. In the second episode the celebs made stupid comments between every question/answer. They were attempting to be funny. They were not. This show has no respect for the game. Mayim acts like she is hosting a party game in her living room. Of the first 6 celebs, only two could compete on the celebrity episodes that were hosted by Alex Trebek. This trash would not be on television if Alex were still with us. No season 2.
