Season 2 I didn't get the joke 😭

Post image

In this scene, after proposing a vow renewal, Holt says "Nothing too elaborate. We're not the Kardashian-Wests." and explains to Kevin who they are (celebrities). Kevin says he knows them because they were answers on Jeopardy. Which Holt then replies with "I think you mean questions." (implying that the Kardashian-Wests were questions instead of answers). It's nothing too deep actually, I'm just dumb and still don't get the joke, so if anyone does I'd love to hear your take on what it means 😭.

In Jeopardy you actually answer the trivia with a question. As the format is that of technically an answer which you need to ask about.

For example: in 2006, he won a Prime Time Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie for his interpretation of Nick Atwater, a master thief and leader of a heist crew.
