I just wanted to share that on Jeopardy this evening, the first board tonight was a Prince-themed board! The names of the categories were My Name Is Prince, 1999, Little Red Corvette, Sign O' The Times, "U" Got the Look, and Batdance. There were also several questions about the man himself, including the religion to which he converted and the name of his home/compound.

Jeopardy tweeted about the Prince theme here:

Made me smile, too.

Aw, that's cool. So sorry I missed that. Sometimes I watch with my Dad and I could have impressed him by sweeping that board haha.

So annoyed...we get pre-empted on Friday nights due to stupid football talk shows. I hope it's broadcast tomorrow night.

Omg thanks for sharing! I'm on the west coast! I can record it when I get home

Why did I think the post was entitled "Prince-themed Monopoly board?"

If anyone can find the episode online, please let me know. Missed it, and would love to see it. Thanks in advance.

None of the contestants knew the name of Prince's studio.

OMG! I've been studying for that Jeopardy board all my life. I'd have cleaned up!

It was a bit misleading though - the questions INSIDE weren't to do with Prince - except for the My Name is Prince one. However it is EXTREMELY awesome that Jeopardy did that...and that they didn't once say specifically that it was in tribute. Like they in zero ways made a big deal out of it, or even referenced Prince's passing...they didn't NEED to, and thus didn't, and I liked that.

Have watched Jeopardy for decades. They do that a lot with titles and then usually one cat has the actual person, place or thing answers. Made me smile soo so much last night. All the questions were pretty easy. Someone on the "clue crew" must be a fam.

I know. Seriously, Paisley Park has been all over the news for the past 5 months.

Same here--I remember watching Jeopardy with my Gramma, who's been gone for decades. That was our show. God, I'm getting old. There must be a Prince fan on the crew of Jeopardy for real.
