Celebrity Jeopardy!
This week, Celebrity Jeopardy! is on television. It's my favorite game show, but I hardly get a chance to watch it anymore. I try to make time for the tournaments, especially the Tournament of Champions and the College Tournament.
There is something oddly fascinating about seeing just how intelligent and smooth these highly-polished personalities are in a different environment. Who's smart and who just thinks they are? Who's been simply getting by on good writing and good looks?
Some of the celebrities who impressed me in the past include Jerry Orbach (Law & Order), Jodie Foster (Panic Room) and Andy Richter (Andy Richter Controls the Universe). This year's standout star may be Ashton Kutcher from That '70s Show, you never know.
Last night, Paige Davis (Trading Spaces), Hal Sparks (Queer as Folk) and Julie Bowen (Ed) competed. Sparks and Bowen did very well. Davis became increasingly quiet and dejected as the game progressed. She wasn't as quick with the buzzer as the other two. Sparks, who seemed to gloat after every correct answer, eventually won. His victory earned his charity, Doctors Without Borders, $50,000.

Ah! Thanks for reminding me! I almost forgot that it was on this week. One of these days, I'm going on Jeopardy! Just to see if I can hack it.
i wish we had it here! used to watch it religiously when it was shown :)
To be on Jeopardy! would be fun, but I would probably owe money by the end of the game. :P
