Can You Answer These 9 Louisiana ‘Questions’ Asked on Jeopardy!

(KMDL-FM) The TV game show Jeopardy! would be a great candidate for the definition of iconic. It's been around since I was a kid, and just for the record, that's a long time. When I first started watching Jeopardy! It was a part of the morning TV game shows that were quite common in the network television line-ups of the 70s.

Back then, the host of Jeopardy! was a guy named Art Fleming. We didn't get to know Alex Trebek until a few years later, when he starred as host of the TV game show High Rollers. Of course, Trebek went on to reach his own "iconic" level of notoriety as host of Jeopardy!

How Do You Play Jeopardy!?

What has always separated Jeopardy!, yes, the exclamation point is part of the show's name, is this. Instead of the host asking a question, the host reveals an answer. The contestants must come up with the correct question.

It seems simple to do, but more than a few times, a contestant's response was negated because they didn't phrase their response in the form of a question.

To me, that is even more frustrating than those jackwagons who bid "a dollar" or "a dollar more" than the highest bid on The Price is Right. I know those bids are well within the rules of the game, but for some reason, they don't sit well with me. Would I do it? Hell yeah, if it meant a chance to spend the wheel. I wouldn't be proud of myself, but I would still do it.
