A new entry is joining the Jeopardy! quiz-show extended universe: Jeopardy! YouTube Edition will premiere March 31 on the streaming service \u2014 the \u201cfirst step\u201d of a larger expansion of the show\u2019s channel on the platform, Jeopardy!\u2019s producers announced today. Host Ken Jennings will anchor the new format in the same way he does Jeopardy!, but the YouTube version of the game will hand the buzzers to three digital creators \u2014 Mon\u00e9t X Change (of RuPaul\u2019s and Traitors fame<\/a>), Rebecca Black (of \u201cFriday\u201d ubiquity<\/a>), and Brennan Lee Mulligan (you know him<\/a>) \u2014 each playing for their charity of choice.<\/p>\n If that all sounds like Celebrity Jeopardy! for the extremely online, well, it is. The idea is to capture Gen-Z and digital eyeballs with YouTube-native creators while retaining the core gameplay that Jeopardy!\u2019s been built on since 1964. \u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to build on that legacy while connecting with new audiences in a way that feels fresh, interactive, and native to the platform,\u201d says Suzanne Prete, Sony Pictures Television\u2019s president of game-show programming. In addition to casting creators as the contestants, the new version of the show promises to include interactive elements and \u201cdigital-first clues\u201d featuring even more YouTube creators.<\/p>\n In recent years and especially since the passing of beloved longtime host Alex Trebek, Jeopardy!\u2019s whole thing has been expansion: Showrunner Michael Davies told Vulture in 2023 that his philosophy is to manage Jeopardy! \u201cas a sport.\u201d<\/a> It\u2019s the de facto professional league of quizzing, and that means putting on as many tournaments and cross-pollinations as are practicable, whether that\u2019s this YouTube edition of the game, the newish Colin Jost\u2013hosted Pop Culture Jeopardy! (which premiered on Prime Video but is shifting to Netflix for its second season), or the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament. (Who doesn\u2019t love the way Jennings stresses that hard T when he says, \u201cThe JIT!\u201d) So far, the idea hasn\u2019t worn thin, but \u2014 then again \u2014 nothing strikes more fear into the hearts of TV executives than the kids who grew up on YouTube, so we wish them luck.<\/p>\n Sign up for the Vulture Daily<\/p>\n An entertainment newsletter for the pop-culture obsessed.<\/p>\n Vox Media, LLC Terms and Privacy Notice<\/p>\n
