I usually don't watch Jeopardy because I'm at work, but I was able to watch today as I was off. There were two Broadway-related questions (or should I say "answers?"): One about TKTS and the final question which asked the contestants to name the three winners of the Tony for best musical that had just four letters in the show's name. Anyone want to guess? I will immediately admit that I guessed wrong.

Cats was one of them. Two more.

Opps, I was wrong and you didn't catch it! I should have said:

What is Cats? Remember your answer has to be in the form of question for Jeopardy, Chris!



I'm trying to think of the other two.

Yes! So we have
What is Cats?
What is Nine?
And what is ______?
Hint: It's not Mame, which was one of my guesses.

Rent would be the 3rd.

Yes, "What are Cats, Rent, and Nine" was the correct question. None of the contestants got it right.

I knew the answers the whole time but I didn't want to seem like a smartie.

I remember on a Celebrity Jeopardy a while back (yes, the actual Celebrity Jeopardy, not the SNL version) there being a category where they displayed Playbills without the names of shows on them and the conceit was to guess the show from the logo. Coincidentally, Rosie was on that night. I believe she got all except Equus.

I watched that last night also. I am a regular watcher and am surprised at how many broadway related questions there are.

Another show that has a lot of Broadway questions is "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire". I was freaking when the lady missed the question about what was the name of female lead in POTO.
