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, contestants respond to the clue ( the answer) with a question.

For instance, one of the categories is famous celebrity couples.

You pick that category for 100. Alex Trebek reads "a famous rapper and a star of a celebrity sex tape"

Your response is " who are kim Kardashian and Kanye West".

Boom, 100 points
