Colin Jost Hosts Pop Culture Jeopardy! Premiere

Colin Jost debuted as the host of 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' on Amazon Prime Video, with the first three episodes released on December 4, 2024, and new episodes streaming weekly. The show features a tournament-style format where 81 teams compete on pop culture topics for a chance to win $300,000. Jost's hosting style has drawn comparisons to Ken Jennings, with fans appreciating his casual, comedic tone, although he admits to being nervous about stepping into the iconic role. In interviews, Jost dismissed rumors of a feud with Jennings and shared that he has been preparing for the role through experiences on 'Saturday Night Live'. While he claims he is not a trivia expert, he noted that the contestants faced challenging questions, with many applying to be on the show. As part of the new programming block 'Winning Wednesdays,' 'Pop Culture Jeopardy!' aims to blend academic rigor with entertainment.
