The backlot area called Colonial Street was used to shoot Rock Hudson movies, “Leave It To Beaver” & from 2004 to 2012, this hourlong show
(correct response beneath the contestants)
Today’s Jeopardy! contestants:
Sparkle Stop Motion , Linnie, Dan, and Brittany
The Legg Ladies , Elile, Julie, and Maddie
Beauty and the Beasts , Brendan, Gabielle, and Chris
Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Week 2’s final episode of Pop Culture Jeopardy! features Beauty and the Beasts, The Legg Ladies, and Sparkle Stop Motion. One of the things that I’ve really enjoyed about these episodes so far is how amused Colin Jost is by all of the “team origin” stories, and I hope that continues throughout the knockout round.
Because I wondered myself, it does appear as though the Triple Play and Daily Double can appear in the same category—this happened in Episode 2.

Colonial Street served as the fictional Wisteria Lane from the Desperate Housewives series. It became well-known enough that they needed to do a makeover of the area so that it could be used for other productions without evoking Desperate Housewives.

Game Recap & Tonight’s Game Stats:
Looking to find out who won Jeopardy! today? Here’s the Wednesday, December 11, 2024 Jeopardy! by the numbers, along with a recap:
Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: A Very Special Guest Star; Mysteries & Whodunits; Madonnarama; They Turned Up At Comic-Con; Advice, FWIW; Call The Exterminator!)
Sparkle Stop Motion and Beauty and the Beasts had the best start, with Sparkle Stop Motion leading with 3,800 at the interviews. Beauty and the Beasts had 3,600 and The Legg Ladies 0.
Statistics at the first break (15 clues):
Sparkle Stop Motion 8 correct 0 incorrect
Beauty and the Beasts 5 correct 0 incorrect
The Legg Ladies 2 correct 1 incorrect
Today’s interviews:
Sparkle Stop Motion met at a horror convention.
The Legg Ladies are from Skaneateles, New York.
Beauty and the Beasts met while Brendan was filming a TikTok dance; Colin isn’t sure if this is a meet-cute, a meet-creepy, or a meet-sad.
While on 0, the Legg Ladies attempted to “make it a True Daily Double”; they eventually changed their bet to 1,000 (because 0 isn’t a legal wager). They, however, became the first team to sweep a Triple Play later in the round, but still sat third after 30 clues.
Statistics after the Jeopardy round:
Sparkle Stop Motion 15 correct 0 incorrect
Beauty and the Beasts 9 correct 1 incorrect
The Legg Ladies 7 correct 2 incorrect
Scores after the Jeopardy! Round:
Sparkle Stop Motion 7,600
Beauty and the Beasts 6,000
The Legg Ladies 2,600
Double Jeopardy! Round:
(Categories: Latin Class; It’s All Business; Camp Classics; So Current It Hasn’t Happened Yet; Pop Potent Potables; Welcome To Jeopardy!)
The Legg Ladies got to both Daily Doubles, making conservative bets—probably for the best, because they got the second one incorrect. By the time the end of the round shook down, Beauty and the Beasts and Sparkle Stop Motion were tied for the lead going into Final.
Statistics after Double Jeopardy:
Beauty and the Beasts 16 correct 3 incorrect
Sparkle Stop Motion 22 correct 2 incorrect
The Legg Ladies 14 correct 4 incorrect
Scores going into Final:
Beauty and the Beasts 10,800
Sparkle Stop Motion 10,800
The Legg Ladies 7,600
Beauty and the Beasts were the only team correct in Final; they advance to the quarterfinals!
Tonight’s results:
The Legg Ladies 7,600 – 3,203 = 4,397 (What is The Sopranos?)
Sparkle Stop Motion 10,800 – 10,800 = 0 (What is Gilmore Girls?)
Beauty and the Beasts 10,800 + 5,000 = 15,800 (What is Desperate Housewives) (Quarter-Finalist)
