  • Jeopardy! is a half hour television quiz show on Earth. The show has a unique answer-and-question format in which contestants are presented with clues in the form of answers, and must phrase their responses in question form. The show contains three rounds including "Double Jeopardy" and "Final Jeopardy". According to Lt. Colonel John Sheppard, Double Jeopardy is twice as dangerous. Lt. Colonel Cameron Mitchell called a problem "today's daily double". (SG1: "Arthur's Mantle") Dr. Rodney McKay is known to occasionally watch the show. (SGA: "The Long Goodbye")
  • Jeopardy! is a really boring, informative, hard television show that features people losing money by incorrectly asking questions about the answers they get. The answers are really, really hard and are almost impossible. The show is hosted by George W. Bush and has killed over 457,605 people from them being bored to death.
  • Jeopardy! contestants compete for fame, fortune, and internationally-recognized nerd status at the clutches of their emcee master, Alex Trebek. Trebek is a Canadian who emigrated to the USA, and he never lets the audience or contestants forget it. His acerbic wit and condescension are the hallmarks of the show. Up until about ten years ago, so was Trebek's mustache. However, now as always, the point of the show is to provide as many correct questions as possible and be the highest earner of three contestants by the end of the 1/2 hour run of the show.
  • Jeopardy! is a quiz show seen in the episode "Miracle on Evergreen Terrace". Marge appeared as a contestant on it to earn money. It is hosted by Alex Trebek. Jeopardy! is based on a real game show of the same name.
  • An American game show that originally began in 1964. Created by Merv Griffin, the only gimmic it had going for it was the dyslexic, almost retarded, substitution of answer for question and vice-versa. Jeopardy's questions are way too facty, which makes the show boring to real Americans (and dangerous too). A truthier version of the show would make The Baby Jesus happier. A Mormon nerd was the all-time champion having won more than any of the other loser contestants. The show hopes to receive The Colbert Bump without proper authorization. He is most famous for riding Stephen Colbert's coattails.

  • The show has a decades-long broadcast history in the United States since its creation by Merv Griffin in 1964. It first ran in the daytime on NBC from March 30, 1964 until January 3, 1975; concurrently ran in a weekly syndicated version from September 9, 1974 to September 5, 1975; and later ran in a revival from October 2, 1978 to March 2, 1979. All of these versions were hosted by Art Fleming. Its current incarnation is the Alex Trebek-hosted syndicated version, which has aired continuously since September 10, 1984, and has been adapted internationally. In "Brian: Portrait of a Dog", Peter Griffin was a contestant on the show, and buzzed in with an answer of "What is diarrhea?". When Peter and Chris pass a collection of television monitors in "If I'm Dyin', I'm Lyin'", Jeopardy! is airing on ABC. In "I Take Thee Quagmire", Mayor Adam West had been a contestant on the show, answering a question in the Space category Kebert Xela, which sent Trebek to the fifth dimension. This idea is a parody of the imp-like villain Mister Mxyzptlk from DC Comics' Superman, who is also returned to the Fifth Dimension by saying his name backwards. A year after this episode aired, a real-life Jeopardy! contestant actually did put down "Kebert Xela" as an answer in Final Jeopardy!, having gone into the round with just $1, losing by a wide margin.[1] Lois notes that Peter tends to say the wrong things at times in "Livin' on a Prayer". In a cutaway gag, Peter is shown getting the answer wrong on Jeopardy and cursing. Peter and the guys watch a special edition of "Jeopardy!: The Best of Contestant Banter" at The Drunken Clam in "Turban Cowboy".

The series theme song has entered the pop culture lexicon, and the show itself has been parodied on shows ranging from The Simpsons, to Saturday Night Live (whose oft-recurring parody of its celebrity tournaments included three Muppet references), and has even been an important element of an episode's storyline, with characters appearing on or auditioning for the show on shows such as The Golden Girls, The Nanny and Cheers.

Current unmustachioed Canadian host, Alex Trebek (real name Giorgi Suka-Alex Trebek), has held the American job of host since 1984 when, as producer of the syndicated show, he hired himself as host. He is most famous for riding Stephen Colbert's coattails. What an asshole. And his real name is gay, too. This article is a stub. You can get a Tip of the Hat* from Stephen by adding only truthiness to it.*Tip of the Hat not guaranteed.
