Jeopardy! On VH1

As the popularity of Jeopardy! grew, a variety of spinoffs were added to channel lineups. For example, Rock & Roll Jeopardy! premiered on VH1 in 1998. It had the same answers-as-questions format, but with a laid back music theme. Jeff Probst was named as the host.

“It’s kind of an unfair thing, but I basically got to watch what [Trebek] has been doing for 15 years and just copied him,” Probst explained to The LA Times. “There are a lot of little tricks that someone can steal.” The show ran for four seasons and 100 episodes. When it was canceled, Probst went on to host Survivor, so it didn’t go too badly for him.
