'''Jeopardy!''' is an American game show somewhat similar to [[quizbowl]] in that questions are asked and answers are given (although the show claims to be [[Weiner's Laws|cute]] by reversing this).
+
'''''Jeopardy!''''' is an American game show that is frequently compared to [[quizbowl]] due to a passing similarity in question content and a similar [[buzzer]]-based format ("Quiz bowl is like Jeopardy! with teams"). However, it does not have [[pyramidal]] questions and in fact players can only answer at the end of a question (this rule was introduced in season 2 of the current show; in former editions and in the first Alex Trebek season, interruption was allowed). The format is additionally well-known for employing the [[Weiner's laws|cute]] rule that players must give their answer in the form of a question ("What is quiz bowl?").
 +
 
 +
Many quiz bowlers have participated in Jeopardy! to varying degrees of success. The higher concentration of academic content than the average game show makes it one of the better game shows for people with quiz bowl knowledge, and a large number of past champions have been affiliated with quiz bowl; the most notable of these include [[Ken Jennings]], [[Matt Jackson]], [[David Madden]], and [[Larissa Kelly]].

Jeopardy! is an American game show that is frequently compared to quizbowl due to a passing similarity in question content and a similar buzzer-based format ("Quiz bowl is like Jeopardy! with teams"). However, it does not have pyramidal questions and in fact players can only answer at the end of a question (this rule was introduced in season 2 of the current show; in former editions and in the first Alex Trebek season, interruption was allowed). The format is additionally well-known for employing the cute rule that players must give their answer in the form of a question ("What is quiz bowl?").

Many quiz bowlers have participated in Jeopardy! to varying degrees of success. The higher concentration of academic content than the average game show makes it one of the better game shows for people with quiz bowl knowledge, and a large number of past champions have been affiliated with quiz bowl; the most notable of these include Ken Jennings, Matt Jackson, David Madden, and Larissa Kelly.

For more information about the game, please view its Wikipedia page.
