Award-winning actress Emma Stone recently revealed a longstanding dream during an episode of Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast – the desire to become a contestant on the iconic quiz show Jeopardy!.
In the podcast, Stone, 35, disclosed her annual ritual of applying to be a contestant on the show, emphasizing her preference to earn her spot rather than participating in Celebrity Jeopardy!. She humorously explained, “I don’t want to go on Celebrity Jeopardy! I want to earn my stripes.”
Stone expressed her commitment to preparing for the show, admitting to taking the online test every June and diligently tracking her correct answers. Despite her successful acting career, Stone expressed her eagerness to succeed in a different realm – the renowned quiz show.
The accomplished actress, who recently secured two awards at the 2024 Golden Globes, including Best Film Actress in a Comedy or Musical for her role in “Poor Things,” shared a lighthearted perspective on her awards’ journey back to her home in New York. She amusingly imagined them on an airplane, “Shaking. Scared. Unaware of where they are. All alone. Confused. But I hope they’re all right.”
While Stone continues to captivate audiences with her acting prowess, her unfulfilled dream of becoming a Jeopardy! contestant adds an unexpected and charming dimension to her multifaceted aspirations.
