“Jeopardy!” host Ken Jennings is celebrating the long-running game show’s broad appeal with audiences.
In a new interview with “CBS Sunday Morning,” Jennings said, “The great and the odd thing about ‘Jeopardy!’ is, it’s kind of universally popular. Old people like ‘Jeopardy!,’ young people like ‘Jeopardy!,’ red states, blue states. It’s bizarrely universal.”
He continued, “America still agrees that there’s, like, a half-hour every day where facts do matter, and we are allowed to adjudicate things as right or wrong actually based on science and history. And I do think that’s an important bulwark.”
Jennings reflected on his long-standing interest in game shows, which began as a Mormon kid growing up in Korea.
