You can only take the test once a year with your email address, but I was never taken. I absolutely watch every evening and note down my correct answers. I swear I can take part in it Jeopardy! »
A statement that has since reached the ears of sports presenter Ken Jennings.
When she wants!

With the original recipe. And it’s a tough game. We will welcome them without hesitation,” underlined the host.
For those who don’t know the principle of Jeopardy!, in the show, briefly adapted in France from 1989 to 1992 with Philippe Rizzoli as presenter, candidates must not find the answers to the questions, but the opposite: they must, thanks to the clues, find the corresponding question. Three candidates compete in three rounds with the aim of winning a sum of money, which the winner can play during the next round.
For the record, Ken Jennings, who has presented the program since 2021, is the biggest winner in the history of the game with 74 wins in the classic format and $2.5 million in winnings!
