Live from Prime Video it’s “Pop Culture Jeopardy!”

“Saturday Night Live” star Colin Jost moves from behind the “Weekend Update” desk to behind the “Jeopardy!” host podium for “Pop Culture Jeopardy!,” a streaming spinoff of the venerable game show that’s coming to Prime Video next month.

The streaming service released a trailer for the series on Wednesday, which features the Emmy winner yukking it up with contestants as they compete in categories like “Famous Because the Internet” while trying to win $300,000 — and bragging rights that their pop cultural expertise is so strong that they won “Jeopardy!”

The trailer reveals that players will be competing in teams of three, with every member dressed identically, which gives it a “Family Feud” flavor “Jeopardy!” never would have had in the Alex Trebek era. (The flagship nightly program is hosted by Ken Jennings.)

“Pop Culture Jeopardy!” is produced by Sony Pictures Television for Prime Video.

Anyone compiling evidence that our TV programming has taken a turn for the dystopic doesn’t have to look particularly hard to find it. In 2018, truTV aired a game show, Paid Off With Michael Torpey, on which the prize wasn’t cash but the value of the winning contestant’s outstanding student loans. Netflix’s Squid Game — a searing drama about people so desperate about their personal debt that risking their lives for a cash jackpot seems like a good idea — begat a Netflix reality competition exactly like the scripted show, minus the part where contestants die for real. By the time Edgar Wright’s remake of The Running Man comes out, the idea of a TV audience slavering for players to be violently killed might not be so outlandish.

This week, Prime Video will launch a new unscripted show hosted by Jb Smoove. Though it’s presented as a showcase for small business owners,...
