Ken Jennings wrote a guest column for the New York Times (a couple actually) where he reflects on how, in a time when even basic facts are hotly contested, Jeopardy! stands out as a rare space where truth still holds. Much of that credit belongs to the writers who carefully craft questions rooted in shared, verifiable knowledge.
I love the writing on Jeopardy! and often think it would be the best job in the world. Thank you, writers, for the great work that teaches us, feeds our curiosity, amuses us, and makes the show the best thing on TV. Congratulations on your well-deserved award!
There are many folks who are not Christian and don’t know any answers to the common “Bible" category. That disadvantages those contestants. I understand that it is seen by several as literature so please add those questions to those categories and not a whole category of its own. You are incredibly wonderful writers and I love all of the questions. I just cringe when I see that.
True, but a myth is folklore or stories that are told in certain regions. Some people regard it as a ‘religion’ as you state as do Norse Pagans but most don’t. A category of myths of any sort is not very common on Jeopardy but the ‘Bible’ is. This is not supposed to be a religious show and myths are not a religion though some play into those uncommon beliefs.

There are even fewer folks who worship Greek gods, yet Greek mythology categories play just fine.

Do you ever get clues (questions) from the general public?
Do you have a category of unusual landmarks across America? Like Paul Bunyon and Babe the Blue Ox in Portland, OR?

I just heard an answer recently about the 10,000 lakes in Minnesota being formed by his bovine companion. Who is Paul Bunyon!
