‘Jeopardy!’ host Ken Jennings explains how show works for ‘red states, blue states’: ‘Bizarrely universal’

"Jeopardy!" host Ken Jennings praised the game show's "bizarrely universal" appeal in a new interview, saying it's a "half-hour every day where facts do matter."

He continued, "America still agrees that there's, like, a half-hour every day where facts do matter, and we are allowed to adjudicate things as right or wrong actually based on science and history. And I do think that's an important bulwark."

Jennings reflected on his long-standing interest in game shows, which began as a Mormon kid growing up in Korea.
