In the past, the game showJeopardy!has featured some questions about video games, includinga question aboutThe Last of Usand an entire category about classic video games. While contestants have succeeded in answering some video game-related questions in the past, the most recent incident whereJeopardy!featured a video games category saw most of the contestants completely stumped.
It was no accident that the contestants left the video games category for last, as none of them really seemed to know much about the gaming industry at all. Questions (technically “answers” inJeopardy!-speak) included references toDisney Infinity,The Elder Scrolls,Destiny 2,Joust, and evenFortniteand the battle royale genre in general. The only question that theJeopardy!contestants answered correctly was aboutDisney Infinity, and that could be attributed to the references to Disney and Pixar films.
It’s clear that none of theseJeopardy!contestants have really played many video games in their lives, or at least are not very knowledgeable about even mainstream titles. While the video games category may not have been good for the contestants on the show, gamers may at least get some laughs from the clip.
Check out someJeopardy!contestants completely fail at answering video game questions:
Jeopardy!itself seems to have rather enjoyed this moment, with Alex Trebek clearly amused by the contestants' inability to answer any of the questions. TheJeopardy!Twitter account also reached out to Epic Games, suggesting that it adds an Alex Trebek skin toFortnitethat would be called “Handsome Host.”
While it seems unlikely, it’s not completely impossible forFortniteto add an Alex Trebek skin to the game. In the past, Epic has incorporated numerous real world people and dances to the character customization options inFortnite. Epic has also included some fictional characters,like John Wick, for instance.
Whether or not Epic adds an Alex Trebek skin toFortniteremains to be seen, but in the meantime,Fortnitefans have plenty of new skins to unlock as part of the game’s recently added Season 6.
