There is perhaps no game show more famous in the US than Jeopardy! Running for over 40 years as of this year, the series has seen countless memorable contestants, moments, and even the odd controversy. However, despite consisting of over 9,000 episodes, the series still brings some together in confusion on occasion thanks to a pivotal question. If Jeopardy! contestants need to know one rule and one rule only, it is to phrase the answer as a question. That simple premise has been the backbone of the game show for decades, although, occasionally, it can throw fuel onto a slow-burning fire. If the answer to a question were to already be phrased as a question – for example, “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?” – does the answering contestant need to still include a question-based prefix, i.e. “What is Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”
