Jeopardy was created by Merv Griffin back in 1964, and Alex Trebek (not to mention his on-again-off-again mustache) has been the host of the popular syndicated show since 1984. The show is infamous for being a source of brain-teasing historical tid-bit investigation, literary and pop culture radar detection, and a great gauge on contestants' awareness of current events.
Most recently, the show has been hosting its teen tournament, and tonight's question categories included one solely dedicated to "Twilight the novel."
The category was picked off first from the round with five consecutively correct answers by the show's contestants.
The questions and answers (not that Twilight fans would need them) were as follows:
- For $200 - Q: "While Bella finds the smell of this nauseating, to the vampires it's intoxicating." A: "What is blood?"
- For $400 - Q: "From Jacob Black, Bella learns that according to legend, the Quileute Indians are descended from these animals." A: "What are wolves?"
- For $600 - Q: "By researching the rainiest places in the U.S., Stephenie Meyer came up with this tiny town to set her story." A: "What is Forks, Washington?"
- For $800 - Q: "Edward, at least his name, was partially inspired by this author's Jane Eyre." A: "Who is Charlotte Bronte?"
- For $1,000 - Q: "Driving home with Edward one day, Bella is surprised to hear him listening to this piece of music by Debussy." A: "What is 'Claire de Lune'?"
Below is a video snippet of the showing!
Pretty cool, eh? It's not the first time Twilight has made its mark on this wonderful and historic quiz show. This summer, Twilight was the answer to a question about Taylor Lautner.
An entire category, though? Pretty cool, eh?
