Colin Jost to Host Pop Culture Jeopardy!

Prime Video and Sony Pictures Television have tapped Colin Jost (Saturday Night Live) to host Pop Culture Jeopardy!, the first Jeopardy! series created exclusively for a major streaming service.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! is a brand-new twist on the classic quiz show’s answer-and-question format that combines the academic rigor of Jeopardy! with the unpredictability of pop culture. Emmy Award winner Michael Davies (Who Wants to Be a Millionaire) serves as executive producer.

Pop Culture Jeopardy! is produced by Sony Pictures Television for Prime Video.

“What is: I’m excited,” said Jost.

“Colin’s sharp wit and intelligence epitomize Pop Culture Jeopardy!,” said Suzanne Prete, president of game shows for Sony Pictures Television. “He’s smart and quick, like our contestants, and we know he’ll be able to keep up with them while making this new series his own. We could not be happier that he is joining us for this new journey.”

“We’re thrilled to welcome the multi-talented Colin Jost as the host of Pop Culture Jeopardy!,” said Lauren Anderson, head of brand and content innovation for Amazon MGM Studios. “Colin’s wry affability and pop culture fluency make him uniquely qualified as the perfect host for this new iteration of the beloved franchise.”
