Mariah Carey was a full category on Jeopardy! a few days ago. All I could think was I wish I was a contestant so I could click in and answer, "What is, Nobody cares!"? That's a pretty grouchy and petty thought I'll admit, but mentally shouting at the TV is how I keep from actually shouting at people in the room.
But this made my day.
The correct punchline is: None, they’re too cool for that kind of work.

Jeopardy has been so seriously dumbed-down that I hardly watch it at all anymore.
The categories are pop highlights.
The 1960's version had categories like:
16th century French illustrators.
Etruscan heads of state.
Lanthanides with a +1 outer shell
Lesser known Marcus Aurelius quotes. Etc. And wheel o fortune, no, just no.
That's the funniest thing I've seen in a while
Top kek as the kids say.
I used to employ this one at work quite a bit:
Q: How many programmers does it take to change a light bulb?
A: None: it's a hardware problem.
A: None: it's a hardware problem.
