What is Jeopardy! UK

What is Jeopardy! UK
When Jeopardy! crossed the Atlantic with Stephen Fry as host, JP and Van were ready with a podcast that offered live watchalong commentary for each episode of the UK version. The format is casual and charming -- two genuine quiz show enthusiasts reacting to the British adaptation in real time, comparing it to the American original, and analyzing how contestants handle the different prize structures and production choices. They also created a recurring trivia segment called "Quivia!?" and produced homemade jingles that give the show a handmade, community-radio quality. Across 21 episodes, they covered the entire run of Jeopardy! UK, including bonus episodes where Van went solo and one notable interview with Michael, the show's longest-running and highest-earning champion. Episodes average about 20 to 26 minutes, keeping things tight. The Jeopardy! UK series concluded in January 2024, and the podcast followed suit with final content in March 2024. For American Jeopardy! fans curious about how the format translates to a different country and culture -- and what Stephen Fry brings as host versus the classic Trebek style -- this is a fun, compact listen. It also serves as a document of a short-lived international experiment that many U.S. fans might not even know existed.
