I think what makes 'Jeopardy!' special is that, among all the quiz and game shows out there, ours tends to encourage learning.
I'm hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.
I was a bookworm who aced every test - until third grade, when my teacher handed out a pop quiz about Jesus and the Apostles.
I used to enjoy bad television, like really bad quiz programmes or sitcoms.
India may be the soul of world cricket, but IPL is its commercial heart. Just as 'Who Wants to be a Millionaire' changed the ground rules for quiz shows by injecting a massive dose of money into the equation, IPL has changed the dynamics of the cricket economy.
