The page announced the thrilling update along with a smiling snap of former Saturday Night Live writer Colin Jost, revealing that the start date will be on December 4 and will be available for streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
Pop Culture Jeopardy takes on a similar format to the OG show, but instead focuses on entertainment knowledge. The trivia topics featured on the new series will include movies, television shows, music, Broadway plays, books, social media, sports, fashion, Comic-Con, and more. But instead of contestants facing off individually, the show will be broken up into teams of three as they all compete in a tournament-style format for the grand cash prize.
