The popular game show features 81 teams from Canada and the United States competing in a tournament-style format.
The Bullpen is a Guelph-based team featured on the first season of Pop Culture Jeopardy!.
The game is an iteration of the popular game show and is currently streaming on Amazon Prime.
Team member Tom Minard, who studied at the University of Guelph, said he forced himself to brush up on his knowledge of pop culture.
“We all did plenty of studying in advance. We had specific assigned areas that we were all relatively weak in that each one of us were deemed the new expert in and had to study up and learn all sorts of new stuff,” Minard said.
Minard lived in Guelph, Ont., up until 2023 and has since relocated to Waterloo. Fellow team members Eric Sipkens and George Hutchinson both reside in the Royal City.
The popular game show features 81 teams from Canada and the United States competing in a tournament-style format. Minard said they are three individual teams on stage as opposed to three individual players. Comedian Colin Jost is the host of the show, as well.
Sipkens and Minard both said they had a positive experience competing on stage in California.
Although it was a really fun experience for Sipkens, he said it had its challenges.
