Melvins Jeopardy clue
« on: February 06, 2009, 01:17:01 PM »
Anybody watch Jeopardy last night? There was a category about how bands formed, I don't remember what the actual title was. Anyway, one of the clues was (this is not the exact wording, but close) "Kirst Noveselic was introduced to Kurt Cobain by Buzz Osbourne of the Melvins and they went on to form this band" which the answer was of course Nirvana, and the guy got it right. One guy cleaned up most, if not all of that category. I just thought it was cool to see a Melvins reference on Jeopardy, I watch it when The Simpsons go to commercials. It totally shocked me, I just kind of sat there with my jaw open, my girlfriend just looked at me and laughed.

just to hear alex trebek utter the name "buzz osborne" in his condensending tone would have been worth my time.

they were a Jeopardy question back in the 90s too. They actually played a sample and Bill Maher beeped in and said "Who Cares?"

Was it a new Jeopardy, or that same old re-run?

Pretty sure it was a new episode. They've been playing new ones all week. I just saw that category and switched back to The Simpsons, I figured it wasn't going to get any better than that.  :lol:

"It Came From Seattle" for $400 (Audio Daily Double)

"The Melvins, heard here, were an early band in this rock genre that swept America in 1992:"

"(Bill: [no response] That song sucks, that's for sure!)
[audience breaks into laughter]
(Alex: I'm sure the Melvins will appreciate your comments, & we have less than a minute to go!)"

He lost $1,700, rightfully so.

oooo no.  I'm sorry cara. the correct answer is "what is grunge?".    remember, the answer must be in the form of a question.
