Amazon Prime has been quite busy with game shows lately. First it was the U.S. take on "The 1% Club" followed by Travis Kelce helming a "5th Grader" reboot. Now this ...

Based on the description, this sounds like Michael Davies's "World Series of Pop Culture" with a "Jeopardy" bow on top. No word on host, actual format or premiere.


We also have "Wish List Games" coming to Prime as well ...

https://deadline.com/2024/05/amazon-unscripted-series-orders-1235914915/

Hosted by Nick Cannon with the assistance of "influencer" Lele Pons (as I'm old, I don't know who that is. I'm pretty sure this person is not one of Cannon's 75 or so kids), this show has contestants competing to win everything on their Amazon Wish List, up to $25,000. And the show is 30 minutes in length, per Deadline.

The show will launch in more than 240 countries and territories. It’s a new twist on the classic gameshow and will focus on categories from alternative rock to The Avengers, from Broadway to MMA and Gen Z to Zendaya.
Welp. There goes my chances. :P

/Still plan to try out

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

My reactive thought was a three-round game with each round dedicated to either music, movies, or TV and played by one member of each team.

Anyone having trouble logging in? It says my email/password are invalid, it won't let me log in using Facebook, and I have yet to receive a reset password email. Wonder if the site isn't as ready as they thought?

I experienced the same things. I made a new account and  that seemed to work.

Damn...now the site is down altogether. I guess they didn't expect as much of a response. I'll try again later tonight.

It might not actually be ready for applications yet. Seems like it might be some sort of testing site. It came up high in a Google search for Pop Culture Jeopardy though.

Applications for Pop Culture Jeopardy appear to be officially open now:

https://www.jeopardy.com/be-on-j/pop-culture

I would totally apply for this if it were individual contestants, but I could never find two other people who would want to be on a team with me.

When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

So I take it Mayim is more or less out in the Jeopardy! Cinematic Universe? I figured she was a natural fit, being both a sitcom star and former host who they were keeping on the back burner for future projects.

She never got any better.

She was decent....for one of the fill-in non-game-show-host hosts. I think the expectation was that, tag-teaming with Ken, they would both improve. Ken did, by leaps and bounds. She...didn't.

Her refusal to cross a picket line that, while wearing that particular hat, she was fine to cross, just gave them the excuse they needed to let her go.

OCA now lists tape dates for Pop Culture Jeopardy. They'll begin taping on August 17 (one week from when I am typing this), and will tape the entire season over ten taping days from August 17-29.

https://on-camera-audiences.com/shows/Pop_Culture_Jeopardy

It should be noted that while the dates are listed, tickets don't actually seem to be available yet.

Good luck to them?

I would imagine with Colin head-writin' on SNL, his availablity is somewhat limited....

I don't think it's been said what the format or episode order was. Not that I think this is the format, but you could do an 81-team single-knockout tournament in 40 matches, which would easily fit in that range.
