I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.
At a very basic level, I think television exists for game shows, and I think it always will.
I've always liked game shows - the competitive aspect and the character-driven personalities you see.
It's bad enough that I'm an actress that wants to be recognized as an actress. Instead, I am known for doing game shows.
Many people have the idea that game shows are easy to come up with. And nothing could be further from the truth.
I'm not big on game shows.
You can't do anything else once you do game shows. You have no career.
For me, personally, I really get a kick out of game shows. I like the play-along factor.
After all, game shows are not like working in a coal mine.
Half the shows on Comedy Central are just multi-cam blue sets, and they kind of look like game shows from the '90s. It's like, 'Why do such a bland corporate aesthetic when the sky's the limit with what you can do?'
