The Evolution of Jeopardy! 

GQ looks at how the changes in the game show reflects our nation’s shifting intelligence and how it serves as a real-time comparison for our changing culture. 

Double Jeopardy! (Then)

“In 1991, the areas of knowledge contestants were expected to be prepared for were straightforward, classic, and broad.”

• “Medieval Times” 
• “Technology” 
• “World Travel” 
• “Secretaries of Defense” 
• “Horses”  
• “Authors’ Dedications”

Double Jeopardy! (Now)

“The 2011 edition offers two fairly specific kinds of knowledge (book-to-movie adaptations and the aforementioned “Chairs”), wordplay, and two jokes, one with a Jewish pedigree.”

• “Born and Died” 
• “Writers on Film” 
• “Like Some Coffee?”
• “Chairs” 
• “My Son, The Doctor”  
• “Get ‘Set’”
