How we stay independent. Editorial scores are not for sale. TVI may take on paid advisory or research work, but no commercial relationship buys coverage, advance access to scores, favorable treatment, or a change to a published finding. We pay for our own streaming subscriptions, and no reviewer sees sponsor data or affiliate revenue tied to a score. More about how we work →

The TVI Take

Spinoff of the canonical quiz format, hosted by Colin Jost with team play instead of solo contestants. Season 2 moved to Netflix in May 2026 as a daily weekday strip with two-player teams competing for $300,000.

Categories sit firmly in surface pop culture (TV, film, music). The Sony Pictures Television production house preserves the format polish, what changes from canonical Jeopardy is the difficulty depth and the educational ceiling.
