The 麻豆传媒映画Canucks were one of the answers — or, rather, one of the questions — on Jeopardy! on Wednesday, September 18.
The opening round, known as the Jeopardy! Round, featured "Vancouver, B.C." as one of the six categories, with all five pieces of trivia in the category relating to 麻豆传媒映画in some way. The easiest, worth $200, would be fairly obvious to any Canucks fan, though hockey has proved a stumper on the long-running trivia game show.
Consider the time a Jeopardy! contestant in response to who in NHL history put up 100+ assists in 11 different seasons.
Thankfully, one of the contestants knew the identity of the team that joined the NHL in 1970 and calls Rogers Arena home.
The correct question — "Who are the Canucks?" — was provided by Aiden Orzech, who had an unfair advantage over his competitors in that category: he's Canadian.
Apologies for the spoilers, but if you can't get that response correct, then what are you even doing here?
Mr. Orzech, a teacher from Thornhill, Ontario, got three out of five correct in the "Vancouver, B.C." category, including the round's Daily Double. He was in his third episode, having won a total of $49,599 in his previous two appearances. He went into Final Jeopardy, however, in third place with $5,200 and lost it all with the incorrect response in the category "The Movies."
Chris Lindsay, who responded correctly to the $1000 answer in the "Vancouver, B.C." category, won the episode with a total of $11,600.
