Jeopardy UK! (With A Bit of Fry)

[thechase]

ITV is in the early stages of developing a rebooted version of classic gameshow Jeopardy, TV Zone understands.



Following speculative reports on website Bothers Bar, TV Zone has verified that ITV are in the early stages of developing a rebooted version of classic gameshow Jeopardy!. ITV stress nothing is confirmed and a pilot has not yet been recorded



It's thought ITV are lining up Good Morning Britain presenter Richard Madeley to host the series, which is set to air as part of ITV's daytime schedule.


Based on the American quiz of the same name, Jeopardy's format can be described as backwards, with contestants having to provide the question to an answer. Three contestants competed in each episode.

Jeopardy began on Channel 4 in 1983 and aired two series until 1984, hosted by Dereky Hobson. It was then revived by ITV in 1990 with host Chris Donat and later Steven Jones. Sky the revived it again in 1995 for a series hosted by Paul Ross.

The title of this thread cuts very, very deep.

[The Ichi]

Richard Madeley has replaced Piers Morgan on GMB and has somehow managed to be more annoying than him. That's not someone who should host anything.

[DiBiase is Good]

If it was hosted by the original “Richard, not Judy” I’d watch it.

could they not find someone better to present it?

Madeley just isnt a good fit for quiz shows

I’d rather Danny Dyer host, he’s doing a great job on The Wall.

No, I didn’t think I’d say that either.

If only we could do the same thing with Judge Judy here in America.

Judge Judy would be a better UK Jeopardy host than Richard Madeley.

I dunno, you know those late night advert shows selling crap I think he'd be a good fit for that

Unfitting game show hosts is pretty much a UK trope these days.

At least they're not using Bradley Walsh for the 4989888th time

[government mule]

If Alan Partridge was not a fictional character, he would be Richard Madeley

[SmashTV]

Judy’s probably glad to get rid of him for a few hours.

Reports from The Sun have revealed that ITV have decided against a full series. A source told the publication: "Richard had high hopes that would have a huge hit with Jeopardy! and it could have really capped his 45-year career...

"But the pilot just didn't work for some reason. Of course, not every format in the US can work for UK audiences, but ITV wasn't prepared to take the risk."

I mean, they probably saw his last few months on Good Morning Britain and thought “Nah, we good”.

[Jonathan Michaels]

Should have gotten David Mitchell
