“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.”

She asks two staff members why the packaging resembles the Israeli flag and one responds that the wrapping is not new while another says it has been introduced recently. 

The woman says: “This is the colour of their [Israel] flag […] This is a big company, it should not be changing the wrapping […] I’m just really upset that I got my order and I got this flag.”
