Dear Gossips,    

Totally serious and admittedly shameless request: I need your help. There’s a job I want. This is not a joke. 

 

It was announced this week at the Amazon upfront that Sony Pictures Television is launching… 

Pop Culture Jeopardy!

“I’ll take Beyoncé for 1000 please, Lainey” are the words I want to hear you say to me. SAY THEM TO ME! 

The Jeopardy! Universe is expanding, the new show will stream exclusively on Prime Video, and it’s going to be a team game. Teams of three will compete against each other in the form of a question for pop culture bragging rights. Registration is now open and the way it works is that you register a team but each member of the team has to do the online test individually and they take the combined score of all three; if it’s high enough, the entire team advances. 

 

I have a team, and of course I’d love to compete with the team. But I would rather have the job, lol. I can host this show! As I have said many times over the years here at LaineyGossip, being a game show host is my professional dream, and my profession has been, over the last two decades, a pop culture critic. This is my dream job! So if you know anyone at Amazon or Sony, tell them about my desperado ass!

 

But if I can’t be the host please let me be part of the research and production team because … I worry. I worry about the integrity of these answers. I worry about people whose gossip foundation comes from In Touch Weekly and TikTok. Pop Culture Jeopardy! will need proper pop culture fact checkers. That can be me! But only if I’m not the host. 

I’m in my PICK ME era now. 

PICK ME, Pop Culture Jeopardy! PICK MEEEEEEEE. 

Yours in gossip, 

Lainey
