Andy’s Pregame Thoughts:
Pop Culture Jeopardy! continues today with a matchup between 2-time champion One Baddie After Another and challengers Trivial Resolutions and No Meesestakes—yes, named after Jack Weller’s viral incorrect response from the 2022 Second Chance competition—and Trivial Resolutions.
It would be nice for the show to post official standings at some spot on the Internet; that way, it would be easier for fans to track who would be in line to participate in the final week of the season.

When he received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2002, Muhammad Ali specifically requested that his star be mounted on a wall instead of being placed on a sidewalk, out of respect for his faith. The heavyweight boxing legend felt that people walking on the name Muhammad would be extremely disrespectful, saying “I bear the name of our beloved prophet Mohammad, and it is impossible that I allow people to trample over his name”; the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce agreed, and Ali’s star is located on a wall at 6801 Hollywood Blvd.
