Emma Stone Has A Really Good Reason She Wont Do Celebrity Jeopardy

The Poor Things star is a Jeopardy fanatic, but you wont catch her on the game shows celebrity edition.

Well take Emma Stones hopes and dreams for $500.

The Curse star told Variety in an interview published Thursday that she applies annually to appear on Jeopardy, but she doesnt want to use her fame to snag a spot on the celebrity version of the show.

I dont want to go on Celebrity Jeopardy. I want to earn my stripes, she told Variety, explaining that a person can only take the test to apply once a year.

Shes confident about her chances at the podium.

I watch it every single night and I mark down how many answers I get right, she said. I swear, I could go on Jeopardy.

While the actor hasnt gotten the chance to show off her buzzer skills yet, shes certainly doing well in other competitive arenas. Last week she nabbed a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy for her leading role in Yorgos Lanthimos Poor Things. The film itself won the Globe for Best Motion Picture Musical or Comedy, and her performance has her earmarked as an Oscar favorite.

At the Globes, she also earned a nomination for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series, Drama for the Showtime series The Curse, though the award went to Sarah Snook for HBOs Succession.
