Pop Culture Jeopardy

Colin Jost, best known as the co-anchor of Weekend Update on Saturday Night Live, has been announced as the host of the upcoming spinoff Pop Culture Jeopardy! for Amazon Prime Video. The show, which will begin production in August, will feature teams of three contestants competing in a tournament-style format on a wide range of pop culture topics, marking the first Jeopardy! series created exclusively for a streaming service. Jost expressed his excitement for the role, while Amazon and Sony Pictures Television executives praised his wit and pop culture knowledge as ideal for the new series. The announcement has sparked mixed reactions from fans, some of whom expressed disappointment over the choice of host. While a premiere date has not been set, the show is expected to debut in early fall 2024. This spinoff follows a trend of Jeopardy! offshoots and is produced by Michael Davies, the franchise's current executive producer.
