Jeopardy! <\/em>may have been born on over-the-air television, but it\u2019s determined not to live and die there.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The trivia game show\u2019s first iteration premiered on NBC daytime television more than 60 years ago in 1964. Its modern syndicated version launched in 1984, and 41 seasons later, it\u2019s still going strong, garnering 7.5 million viewers for its latest season premiere<\/a> and maintaining its title as the most-watched syndicated series on TV.<\/p>\n Though Jeopardy!<\/em> made it through the cultural transition to streaming largely unscathed, its producers are still finding ways to innovate its format and bring the show to new platforms. That includes the newly announced Jeopardy! YouTube Edition<\/em>, which will feature YouTube personalities playing for charity.<\/p>\n The new show will premiere on Tuesday, March 31, at 9 p.m. ET, with a livestream on the Jeopardy! <\/em>YouTube channel<\/a>, hosted by Ken Jennings.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n What makes the YouTube Edition<\/em> different from regular Jeopardy!<\/em>? It will still use Jeopardy!<\/em>\u2019s signature answer-with-a-question format, but with trivia categories inspired by YouTube, including viral trends and the platform\u2019s history. YouTube influencers and talent will also appear on the show to provide custom video clues.<\/p>\n \u201cFrom Sabrina Carpenter\u2019s greatest hits to DIY homebuilding, there is so much to learn on YouTube, but who has learned the most?\u201d Jennings teased in a promo for the series<\/a>. He also introduced the three \u201cinternet icons\u201d competing in the premiere episode.<\/p>\n There\u2019s Brennan Lee Mulligan, the host of tabletop gaming series Dimension 20<\/em><\/a>, which has 1.11 million YouTube subscribers; drag queen Mon\u00e9t X Change, a star of reality TV shows including RuPaul\u2019s Drag Race<\/em> and The Traitors<\/em> and a YouTube creator with 180,000 subscribers<\/a>; and pop singer Rebecca Black, whose much-memed music video for 2011\u2019s \u201cFriday\u201d<\/a> boasts 179 million views on the platform. Each contestant will compete to win money for a charity of their choice, with Mon\u00e9t playing for GLAAD, the LGBTQ+ media advocacy organization, and both Mulligan and Black playing for the Trevor Project, the suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ+\u00a0youth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
