Gary’s Q&A

Listener question & Gary’s response · Transcript passage

Chloe Boyer asks Have you tried out for jeopardy? If not, would you consider it? Big fan. Waiting for my top fan badge!

To be completely honest, I have never seriously considered it, and I have no real desire to do it.

I’m also not sure I’d be very good because there would be some questions with some popular culture references, such as Niki Minaj or Taylor Swift, and I wouldn’t know what they were talking about.I know that Niki Minaj or Taylor Swift are real people who are famous, but I don’t know anything about them beyond their existence. I know they are singers, and I probably have heard some of their songs by osmosis, but I couldn’t identify them.

I also am not a regular Jeopardy watcher. I am familiar with the show, but I can’t remember the last time I saw it. This is primarily because I don’t watch traditional TV. Everything I watch is either on disc or streaming.
