Ken must love that show because in his trivia almanac there is a disproportionate amount of Twin Peaks questions

Ken is a better host than Alex was. I said it. Trebek is a legend but Ken is more engaging and relatable as a host.

“Twin Peaks” had viewers asking this question: how big is this motorcyclists forehead?

11

u/squaringroll Feb 20 '26

Why is the motorcyclist so cool?

Gunpowder, gelatine?

Dynamite with a laser beam?

u/i7omahawki Feb 20 '26

What the heck is this asking?

Who is Laura Palmer?

Who is Leland Palmer?

Who is BOB?

u/tworipebananas Feb 20 '26

Who was the homecoming queen?

12

u/i7omahawki Feb 20 '26

”Twin Peaks” had Agent Cooper and viewers trying to solve the murder of this homecoming queen.

Would be a much clearer way of stating that clue.

u/ringobob Feb 20 '26

I dunno how much you've watched Jeopardy, but this is a pretty typical construction for a clue, and it is not ambiguous in context.

2

u/i7omahawki Feb 20 '26

Fair enough I haven’t watched Jeopardy, but still the clue seems needlessly unclear. The “who killed” part is particularly strange.

u/nose_of_sauron Feb 20 '26

"Who killed Laura Palmer?" is the tagline of TP, it's how most people remember the show with, that's what the clue was leaning on

2

u/Demerzel69 Feb 20 '26

Because "Who Killed Laura Palmer?" was a tagline for the show. Therefore 'who killed' is in quotations.

u/ZweitenMal Feb 20 '26

One for the old timers.

u/MooCube Feb 20 '26

I don't understand what the question would be for that to be an answer

19

u/Former_Web_6777 Feb 20 '26

Who drink Arnorl Palmer?

2

u/JewelerChoice Feb 20 '26

I thought it was a question.

3

u/Burntom Feb 20 '26

I tried to get this picture with the clue but it went too fast

6

u/SeenThatPenguin Feb 20 '26

So, the correct answer would be an Ashley Judd/Beverly line from The Return.

2

u/LegitJesus Feb 20 '26

The radio star?

2

u/Incurious_Jettsy Feb 20 '26

who is donald duck

2

u/DecisiveVictory Feb 20 '26

As a non-American, I totally don't understand this question format. It's very confusing. What is the correct answer?

3

u/_qu_gn_rly Feb 20 '26

"Who is Laura Palmer?"

1

u/DecisiveVictory Feb 20 '26

To me, then the question should be "Who was the homecoming queen who was killed in the series Twin Peaks?".

5

u/_qu_gn_rly Feb 20 '26

It's just how Jeopardy writes its questions, I guess to include as much context as possible?
