However, based on recent tea making the rounds, a celebrity snuck onto the regular version of the game, shocking fans in the process. So, who was it, and what do we know about this situation?
Jeopardy! Keeps Things Fresh With Different Game Modes
When it comes to a game like Jeopardy!, which has been on the air for decades, most viewers take an “if it isn’t broken, don’t fix it” approach to their favorite game show. It’s a formula that has worked for a very long time, and most people see no need to tinker with something that is already a proven winner.
Even so, Jeopardy! does switch things up with different game modes. In addition to the regular game that viewers know and love, there is also the celebrity edition of the game. On top of that, the latest entry into the expanding franchise is the pop culture edition, which focuses a lot more on entertainment and pop culture categories. Either way, there is a lot to keep viewers engaged.

Celebrity Sneaks Into Regular Game Show Lineup
Jeopardy! enthusiasts often look ahead at the upcoming contestant lineup to see who will be featured on the show. One thing that has always kept people interested in watching the game is, you never know who has the potential to become the next champion and put together an impressive winning streak. So, this is just one aspect that keeps people watching.
However, based on who was recently cast to appear on the show, it turns out, a celebrity was added to the regular game show lineup and not the celebrity edition of the game. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that Guy Branum was included in the contestant lineup recently.
If the name Guy Branum sounds familiar, it’s because he is a famous actor, writer, and comedian. The casual game show viewer may not recognize him. However, a lot of people did, with many wondering how he managed to get on the regular version of Jeopardy! and not the celebrity edition of the game.
