Celebrity Jeopardy! is a spinoff that features celebrities competing in the classic quiz show to win money for their favorite charities. It started out as a series of special weeks on the regular show, and later it was spoofed in a series of Saturday Night Live (SNL) shorts; now the show is its own primetime series.
Gameplay[]
Unlike last season's tournament, this was the same tournament but the difference here is Ken Jennings is the host of this tournament and was referred to as "Here is your host" by Johnny Gilbert.
Starting with this season, the rim around the category screen turns white when a clue is selected and a 3-way split-screen of the celebs is used following the first clue of the round or break.
Money Amounts[]
Rounds | Amounts | Total |
---|---|---|
Jeopardy! | $100-$500 | $9,000 |
Double Jeopardy! | $200-$1,000 | $18,000 |
Triple Jeopardy! | $300-$1,500 | $27,000 |
NOTE: The celebrities' charities, don't actually get the money scored in each match. For as with all tournaments, the scores are kept in points (dollar signs are kept for aesthetic purposes). So, as you look at the summary below, ignore the dollar signs and pretend that they are really point values.
Tournament Structure[]
The Tournament Structure is basically the same as the one in Super Jeopardy!, Ultimate Tournament of Champions, Jeopardy! National College Championship, Second Chance Tournament and S39~ Tournament of Champions: No wild cards, it's "win or go home".
A series of nine quarterfinal games is played. The winner of each game will advance to the semifinals where the three winners from those games will compete in the final for $1,000,000 to their favorite charity.
