What is a gameshow that will feature a trio of men from Guelph and Waterloo?

The answer: Pop Culture Jeopardy.

George Hutchinson, Eric Sipkens, and Tom Minard make up “The Bullpen,” a team competing in an episode of the latest twist on Jeopardy next week.

The American gameshow is hosted by popular comedian Colin Jost, known for his role as the Weekend Update anchor on Saturday Night Live.

“We did deep dives into the bowels of TikTok, George was memorizing lists of Tony and Oscar award winners, I was watching the first episodes of a bunch of different recent TV shows that had won Emmys and what-not to get a sense of them,” said Minard about the training regiment the team underwent to prepare for the show.

The three have already travelled to Culver City, Calif. to film the show, which will air the knockout round episode on Amazon Prime on Wednesday.
