"Jeopardy!" has been an iconic part of television in America almost since its inception in 1964 when it premiered on NBC as a daytime show. Filmed at a studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City, and hosted by Art Fleming, the show aired until early 1975, followed by a nightly syndicated version, and a short revival called "The All-New Jeopardy!" It wasn't until the fall of 1984 that the game show as we know it premiered with new host Alex Trebek and filmed in a new location – California.
What was once a popular daytime show also moved to a primetime slot upon its return, where it has remained ever since. Just like many programs, "Jeopardy!" has had highs and lows, but it was an incredible high in 2019, when as a result of James Holzhauer's streak of 32 consecutive wins, "Jeopardy!" hit a ratings record. An average of more than 13.2 million households tuned in every day the week of April 29, the highest number of viewers in 14 years.
"Jeopardy!" and a few other programs have come to dominate American television screen time over the years. Many people enjoy answering trivia questions on topics from geography to science and part of the fun is playing along at home and testing your knowledge. (If you prefer testing your knowledge of sports, a great place to start is by reviewing the USA Mens National Basketball team and see which players have never played for Team USA.)
24/7 Tempo went through J! Archives, a site created by fans of the show that lists clues going back to the beginning of the show, and selected 50 questions where the answer is one of the 50 states. Take this pop quiz to test your knowledge of U.S. states with these real Jeopardy! questions and answers. We included some that may stump even former champions.
