Yahoo Lifestyle Ken Jennings Reveals His Dream 'Celebrity Jeopardy!' Competitor
Ken Jennings may not be in control of which stars compete on Celebrity Jeopardy! — but he sure has ideas on who he thinks would make a great contestant!
We're a few weeks into a new installment of the hit quiz show series, and folks can't stop talking about how good the season 3 stars are in participating in a show to win a $1 million charity prize. Well, the Jeopardy! host went on Good Morning America on January 21 to promote the new installment, and the hosts decided they'd try something a little different with him for his interview.
Ken naturally got roped into playing a version of the quiz show on the air, and co-host Robin Roberts asked Ken a clue involving which famous face he'd love to see partake on Celebrity Jeopardy!. When the answer involved the comedian who famously wrote and starred in the hit movie Mean Girls, Ken revealed that former Saturday Night Live star Tina Fey was his dream Celebrity Jeopardy! guest.
"Who is Tina Fey," he surprised the hosts in a clip posted on YouTube. "I would love to book Tina Fey on Celebrity Jeopardy!. She seems quick — maybe it's just because celebrities with glasses always seem very smart to me."
Now, Tina is definitely someone we can see trying to take on the Jeopardy! challenge! Given how she has been involved in movies and shows that defined pop culture in the early 2000's (which also includes creating and starring in the hit sitcom 30 Rock), it makes a lot of sense. And while we haven't seen her as a contestant, fans may not remember that Tina actually was featured on Jeopardy! in a unique way.
According to Tina's IMDB page, the star's credits reveal she was the voice of a clue during Jeopardy!'s 35th season in 2019. Additionally, she herself was an answer, as her memoir Bossypants was also featured as a clue on the show that same season.
Tina, if you're paying attention — you may want to go talk to Ken right now about making this happen for next season!
