In a delightful appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Oscar-nominated actress Emma Stone found herself in awe as the host surprised her with a Jeopardy! styled quiz during a candid conversation on Monday.
Reacting with humor, Stone remarked, “Oh, boy. Now you’re going to understand why I haven’t gotten on the show.”
To test Emma’s readiness for the game show, Stephen Colbert kicked off with the first question: “Emma Stone, welcome to Jeopardy! First question, Stephen Colbert is such a fan of this author’s work, he aired his concerns with Peter Jackson about the Elves of Mirkwood.”
The 35-year-old star impressively responded, “Who is the author of Lord of the Rings… Tolkien. Who is Tolkien?”
Moving on to the second question, Stone faced a challenge: “It was rumored that the crime rate dropped dramatically during their February 9, 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show.”
Unfazed, she confidently answered, “Who are The Beatles?” showcasing her quick and accurate Jeopardy! skills.
In an earlier revelation, Stone disclosed her annual ritual of applying to be on the game show, expressing her avid interest in participating. During a recent appearance on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, she shared, “I watch it every single night, and I mark down how many answers I get right.”
“I swear, I could go on Jeopardy!” she declared with confidence, hinting at her readiness to take on the challenge.
As Emma Stone continues to charm audiences both on and off the screen, her recent foray into the Jeopardy! world adds a delightful touch to her multifaceted talents and showcases a hidden skill that fans might not have expected from the acclaimed actress.
