Although the James Wood thread was (properly I think) moved to the poli board, some of the info in there about his SAT scores and IQ got me thinking.

What actors or entertainment celebrities do you think would do the best on Jeopardy?

Other than Woods the one that comes to mind without resorting to Google might be Kris Kristofferson. For some reason it kind of seems like Nick Cage might have a lot of trivia floating around in his head. But I could be way off on that one.

four?

Jeopardy only has three contestants... unless you are also looking for someone to replace Alex Trebeck, in which case obviously Will Ferrell.

Good point. I went brain dead there for a second. I'll edit. But yeah, nominations for the part of Trebek are acceptable.

Didn't Portman go to Harvard?

graduating #high school with a 4.0 GPA, attending Harvard where she received a Bachelor?s Degree in psychology and being fluent in Hebrew, French and Japanese. Phew

Emma Watson to Brown?

I imagine the Stone/Parker are pretty smart in real life too.

I saw a celebrity version of The Chase not too long ago. Dean Cain was on there and did pretty well, but some dude named Seamus Dever (apparently one of the stars of Castle) kicked some serious arse.

The third dude sucked.

I feel like James Spader is probably really smart IRL.

Sean Connery: I've got to ask you about the Penis Mightier.

Alex Trebek: What? No. No, no, that is The Pen is Mightier.

Sean Connery: Gussy it up however you want, Trebek. What matters is does it work? Will it really mighty my penis, man?

Alex Trebek: It's not a product, Mr. Connery.

Sean Connery: Because I've ordered devices like that before - wasted a pretty penny, I don't mind telling you. And if The Penis Mightier works, I'll order a dozen.

Alex Trebek: It's not a Penis Mightier, Mr. Connery. There's no such thing!

Nicholas Cage: Wait, wait, wait.. are you selling Penis Mightiers?

Alex Trebek: No! No, I'm not.

Sean Connery: Well, you're sitting on a gold mine, Trebek!
