Pop Culture Jeopardy!, a new spinoff of the OG quiz show, Jeopardy! streamed its first episode on December 4, 2024, on Prime Video. Though most of the format of the game remains the same, unlike Jeopardy!, the spin-off will feature three teams of three people coming together to take home the big win. Also, Colin Jost will be hosting the first season.
The contestants will go through three rounds, like the usual: Jeopardy, Double Jeopardy, and Final Jeopardy. This new format will focus on entertainment and social media as a category.
Clues will revolve around pop culture, music, movies, TV shows, social media platforms, broadway productions, and more. The show is set to expand the audience of the franchise. With this spin-off, the producers expect to tap into the younger audience.
On the first-ever episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy!, three teams (Pop Queens, Oops! We Guessed It Again, and Queen City Kidz) got on stage to show off their trendy knowledge.
