“Jeopardy! is a weirdly unifying thing,” host Ken Jennings previously told Rolling Stone. “Young people, old people, red states, blue states — it’s an institution that has this universal acceptance. Whatever the forces of anti-science and fake news and whatever are, they seem to have some carve-out for Jeopardy!“
