Emma Stone Dreams of Going on Jeopardy: “I Apply Every June”

Emma Stone Dreams of Going on Jeopardy: "I Apply Every June"

Emma Stone has revealed her real dream, and it has nothing to do with winning another Oscar. Instead, the actor wants to be a contestant on the “real” version of Jeopardy!

During her appearance on the latest episode of the Variety Awards Circuit podcast, Stone called Jeopardy! her “favorite show” and shot down the idea of appearing in the recently introduced celebrity tournament.

“That’s my dream. I apply every June,” Stone said. “I don’t want to go on Celebrity Jeopardy! I really want to earn my stripes. I would like to go on real Jeopardy!, but you have to take the test and you can only take it once a year with your email address.”

She continued, “So every June I take the quiz and they don’t tell you how you did. They just say, ‘We’ll let you know in the next nine to 12 months if you got on the show,’ and guess what, I haven’t gotten on the show. But I watch it every single night and I mark down how many answers I get right. I swear, I could go on Jeopardy!

Listen to the full podcast episode below. The Jeopardy! discussion begins around the 45-minute mark.

After winning the Best Actress Oscar for La La Land in 2017, Stone is expected to be nominated for another this year, thanks to her stunning performance in Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things. The role recently earned her a Golden Globe for Best Actress.
