Revision as of 13:16, 11 March 2021

Jeopardy! is an American game show that is frequently compared to quizbowl due to a passing similarity in question content and a similar buzzer-based format ("Quiz bowl is like Jeopardy! with teams"). However, it does not have pyramidal questions and in fact players can only answer at the end of a question, and must give their answer in the form of a question ("What is quiz bowl?").

Many quiz bowlers have participated in Jeopardy! to varying degrees of success. The higher concentration of academic content than the average game show makes it one of the better game shows for people with quiz bowl knowledge, and a large number of past champions have been affiliated with quiz bowl; the most notable of which have been Ken Jennings, Matt Jackson, and David Madden.

For more information about the game, please view its Wikipedia page.
