AOD Celebrity Jeopardy!
This is AOD Celebrity Jeopardy!
This is AOD Celebrity Jeopardy! Our Guests of Honor are testing their knowledge skills to win money for their favorite charities.
We have questions on Sports Teams and Historical Events and Video Games. But how do they handle categories like "Words that Sound Dirty, but Aren't"? Can they answer on "Things You Shouldn't Put In Your Mouth"? Do they know anything at all about "Games That End With 'eet Fighter'"? Come down and find out!
All of our guests take home something, but the better they do, the more money they win! The winning Guest of Honor takes home $500 for their favorite charity, as well as the accolades of an entire audience. Be sure to root your favorite Guest for the $500 top prize!
