And now it looks like his studio is too, with viewers going wild over its modern new look.

In an Instagram reveal yesterday, the show’s account wrote: “It’s a date #PopCultureJeopardy! premieres December 4 and streams Wednesdays on @PrimeVideo. @AmazonMGMStudios #Jeopardy!”

But all its followers could talk about was how Ken’s version needs a revamp.

One commented: “Seeing this kinda makes me think it’s time to update the regular set.”

Another replied: “At some point hopefully the regular show does.”

Someone else put: “The set looks AMAZING! I wish Alex was here to see this new set,” referring to the late host, Alex Trebek.

However, a fourth was unable to agree, writing: “Looks just as gloomy as the current set.”

Pop Culture Jeopardy! was announced in May.

The spinoff of the beloved game show will feature three teams of three.

Instead of airing on ABC like the other versions of the game, Pop Culture Jeopardy! will be the first to air on Amazon’s streaming service.

Contestants will answer questions about pop culture subjects like music, movies, sports, TV, and more.

Colin was named as the host on July 31.

“What is: I’m excited,” he said in a statement.

Jeopardy! Universe

Jeopardy! first aired in 1964 until 1975. Then the nighttime version began in 1974. Since then, many spinoffs of the game show have emerged. Here they all are:

Jeopardy! – (syndicated) 1974 to present, weekdays on ABC at 7 pm ET.

Tournament of Champions – 1984 to present, features the top champions who have appeared on the show since the last tournament.

Second Chance Tournament – 2022 to present features hand-selected non-winners from the season prior, where the prize is entry into Champions Wildcard.

Champions Wildcard – 2023 to present, features all one, two and three-day champions from the season prior worth entry into the Tournament of Champions.

Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament (syndication) – 2023 to present, features past greats invited by producers to vie for a slot in Masters.

Jeopardy! Masters (primetime) – 2023 to present, features the six highest-ranked Jeopardy! champions competing against each other.

Celebrity Jeopardy! (primetime) – 1992 to present, has celebrities compete against each other to raise money for charity.

Pop Culture Jeopardy (streaming) – 2024 to present, will feature teams of three tasked with pop culture trivia on Amazon Prime, hosted by Colin Jost, airdate TBD

Jeopardy! has done away with specialized tournaments like its College Tournaments, Kids Week, and Professor’s Tournament to gear towards a more sports-like model, with Masters being the top of the Jeopardy pyramid.

Other versions of Jeopardy! have fizzled out throughout the years as well, like Sports Jeopardy!.

TOE-NO

Aside from SNL, Colin also hosted the surfing portion of the Olympics.

He shared an injury that he received while there on Instagram.

“You know it’s going great when you’ve been to the Olympic medical tent more than any of the athletes,” Colin captioned his post.

In the photo, three of Colin’s toes were bandaged up.

He also had a cut on his fourth toe, which wasn’t covered.

Colin reportedly came toe-to-toe with a reef at the Tahiti Olympics location.
