The answer is … “This long-running syndicated TV game show will be launching a new spinoff, exclusively on YouTube.” The question? What is Jeopardy!?

The YouTube Edition of the legendary game show premieres today on the streaming service. It’s the “first step” of a larger expansion of the show’s channel on the platform, Jeopardy!’s producers told Variety. Host Ken Jennings will anchor the new format in the same way he does Jeopardy!, but the YouTube version of the game will hand the buzzers to three digital creators — Monét X Change (of RuPaul’s and Traitors fame), Rebecca Black (of “Friday” ubiquity), and Brennan Lee Mulligan (you know him)—each playing for their charity of choice.

What’s that? You say it sounds like Celebrity Jeopardy! for the extremely online, well, you’re basically right. The idea is to capture Gen-Z and digital eyeballs with YouTube-native creators while retaining the core gameplay that Jeopardy!’s been built on since 1964. The game will kick off featuring categories that span 20 years of YouTube history—from viral trends to custom video clues featuring notable YouTube talent.

In recent years and especially since the passing of beloved longtime host Alex Trebek, Jeopardy!’s whole thing has been expansion: Showrunner Michael Davies told Vulture in 2023 that his philosophy is to manage Jeopardy! “as a sport.” It’s the de facto professional league of quizzing, and that means putting on as many tournaments and cross-pollinations as are practicable, whether that’s this YouTube edition of the game, the newish Colin Jost–hosted Pop Culture Jeopardy! (which premiered on Prime Video but is shifting to Netflix for its second season), or the Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament. They point out that so far, the idea hasn’t worn thin, but, then again, “nothing strikes more fear into the hearts of TV executives than the kids who grew up on YouTube, so we wish them luck.”

President Trump continues suggesting a deal to end the Iran war could come soon, but also warned on Monday that the U.S. would obliterate Iran's energy plants and oil wells if Tehran does not open the Strait ​of Hormuz, after Tehran described U.S. peace proposals as “unrealistic” and fired waves of missiles at Israel.

The U.S. now has hundreds of special operations forces in the Middle East as Trump is threatening to “take the oil in Iran,” with ground forces possibly being used to seize vital Iranian infrastructure. Iran has warned that it is waiting for the arrival of U.S. forces, “to set them on fire and punish their regional partners forever.” More than 3,000 people have been killed across the region in the conflict as the war enters its fifth week.

Global oil prices continued their recent climb and the S&P 500 closed lower Monday. Oil was around $115 a barrel, up nearly 60% from the start of the war and the highest since the conflict started. Rising oil prices are one of the more immediate consequences of the war. Average U.S. gasoline prices hit $3.99 a gallon Monday, according to AAA, the highest since the summer of 2022. Patrick De Haan, chief analyst at Gas Buddy, projected Monday afternoon they would rise to $4 within 24 hours as the average price of gasoline in Florida surged to $4.29.

It was never really a cheap experience, but attending a concert is getting even more expensive now that more and more musical artists are choosing to perform residencies in one place for extended periods rather than touring a string of different cities across the country.

When Harry Styles announced a 30-show residency at New York City’s Madison Square Garden beginning this August, more than 11 million people signed up for tickets. Of course, to attend, fans will have to fly to New York and stay in hotels, etc. It makes for a memorable trip, but it costs a lot. And the news comes after Bad Bunny, Spotify’s Top Global Artist in 2025, played 31 shows in San Juan, Puerto Rico, last summer. Similarly, Adele, The Backstreet Boys, and No Doubt are all doing the Vegas residency thing.

Experts say residencies help artists “mentally, physically and financially”. Not having to break down sets and move them from city to city. But that cost is now being transferred to the customer. And many are being priced out. Global ticket prices for live music have nearly tripled over the past three decades. The average cost of a concert in 1996 was around $25 (not adjusted for inflation), according to a Pollstar analysis. In 2024, the average price was around $135. And even that seems downright affordable now, right?
