- “Programs like ‘Jeopardy’ and ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’ are ridiculous. They’re the stupidest shows in history. They’re making us dumber. They don’t give us information, they give us facts, factoids. You don’t learn who Napoleon was and how he was motivated. You learn what year he was born, and when he died. That’s useless.” ~ Ray Bradbury
- “You watch an old ‘Jeopardy!’ and the categories alone are very plain. ‘Poetry,’ or ‘Movies,’ or ‘Physics.’ If you watch it now, though, there’ll be a theme board where the categories are all Hitchcock movies. Lots more jokes, lots more high-concept categories and questions.” ~ Ken Jennings

- “Women-in-jeopardy movies are, in essence, the updated versions of men dying to save the princess from the dragon to earn her love. They are modern-day training films for teaching women to select the best protectors while weeding out the rest.” ~ Warren Farrell

We did not want political leaders who would be role models for behavior that would put women’s economic security in jeopardy.” ~ Warren Farrell
- “I should esteem it the extreme of imprudence to prolong the precarious state of our national affairs, and to expose the Union to the jeopardy of successive experiments, in the chimerical pursuit of a perfect plan.

The result of the deliberations of all collective bodies must necessarily be a compound, as well of the errors and prejudices, as of the good sense and wisdom, of the individuals of whom they are composed.” ~ Alexander Hamilton
-
“I watch ‘Jeopardy!’ every night and ‘Wheel of Fortune’ follows. And every time I’m like, ‘Whoa, it’s still on! This is still happening!'” ~ Martha MacIsaac

- “Realization of this need means adults must awaken to the urgency of the young people’s unrest-in other words there must be created an adult unrest against the inequities and injustices in the present system. If the government is in jeopardy, it is not because we are unable to cope with revolutionary situations. Jeopardy means that either the leaders or the people do not realize they have all the tools required to make the revolution come true. The tools and the opportunity exist. Only the moral imagination is missing.” ~ William O. Douglas
- “I have no inhibitions about smoking or drinking, but I think too much of my voice to place it in jeopardy. I have spent many good years in training and cultivating it, and I would be foolish to do anything which might impair or ruin it.” ~ Jeanette MacDonald
- “That historian or scholar who delights in pointing out the weaknesses and frailties of present or past leaders destroys faith. A destroyer of faith — particularly one within the Church, and more particularly one who is employed specifically to build faith — places himself in great spiritual jeopardy.

- “We have nightmares because our brain is running simulations to put us in jeopardy to see what we’ll do or to acclimatize us to that idea that something bad could happen. It’s just how human beings are wired because the entire time we were evolving we had to jump quick or the leopard would get us or whatever it was. It’s Darwinian.” ~ James Cameron
-
“You can save the city, but having the city be in jeopardy is one thing and having the people you care about be in jeopardy is another.” ~ Marc Guggenheim

- “I’m afraid, as true as love is, it is tested by circumstance and sometimes you don’t make the best choices. As much as the fans claim [that] all they want is just want people sitting around and having a nice time together, trust me, you would not be watching the show if there wasn’t conflict, if there wasn’t drama, if there wasn’t jeopardy. And it’s not just physical jeopardy, it’s romantic jeopardy as well.” ~ Joseph Dougherty
- “We could have saved Wall Street without putting our future in jeopardy. I predicted that there would be all-around consequences – in the long run as well as in the short run. People are now saying we can’t afford health care reform because we spent all the money on the banks. So, in effect, we’re saying that it’s better that we give rich bankers a couple of trillion than giving ordinary Americans access to health care.” ~ Joseph Stiglitz
-

She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy.’ Mr. Wallace pressed further on the jeopardy angle, and Mr. Obama responded again: ‘I continue to believe that she has not jeopardized America’s national security. Now what I’ve also said is that – and she has acknowledged – that there’s a carelessness, in terms of managing emails…'”” ~ Barack Obama
- “Hillary Clinton was an outstanding secretary of state. She would never intentionally put America in any kind of jeopardy. And what I also know, because I handle a lot of classified information, is that there’s classified and then there’s classified. There’s stuff that is really top secret top secret, and there’s stuff that is being presented to the president or the secretary of state that you might not want on the transom or, you know, going out over the wire, but is basically stuff that you could get in open source.” ~ Barack Obama
- “I have met with women who toward the end of their pregnancy get the worst news one could get, that their health is in jeopardy if they continue to carry to term or that something terrible has happened or just been discovered about the pregnancy. I do not think the United States government should be stepping in and making those most personal of decisions. So you can regulate if you are doing so with the life and the health of the mother taken into account.” ~ Hillary Clinton , Jeopardy quotes life
-

- “Artificial intelligence uses a complex set of rules – algorithms – to get to a conclusion. A computer has to calculate its way through all those rules, and that takes a lot of processing. So AI works best when a small computer is using it on a small problem – your car’s anti-lock brakes are based on AI. Or you need to use a giant computer on a big problem – like IBM using a room-size machine to compete against humans on Jeopardy in 2011.” ~ Kevin Maney
- “We’re all self-destructive when we’re young. We all rebel. If we don’t, there’s something wrong. But when a Chicano kid’s in a rebellious state, he has nowhere to go but to put himself in jeopardy with the police. When a kid who has some class privilege rebels, he’s in a beautiful room and he can buy these horrible CDs and drugs. He’s buffered from being a criminal.” ~ Jimmy Santiago Baca
- “I have a lot of pot tendencies. I’m always late, I laugh for no reason, I watch Jeopardy! with the sound off and make up my own questions.” ~ Dave Attell
-

- “The key to investment success is emotional discipline. Making money has nothing to do with intelligence. To be a successful investor, you have to be able to admit mistakes. I trained a guy to trade who had a 188 IQ. He was on “Jeopardy” once and answered every question correctly. That same person never made a dime in trading during 5 years!” ~ Victor Sperandeo
- “I think every film I make that puts characters in jeopardy is me purging my own fears, sadly only to re-engage with them shortly after the release of the picture. I’ll never make enough films to purge them all.” ~ Steven Spielberg

- “If my sense of security lies in my reputation or in the things I have, my life will be in a constant state of threat and jeopardy-a fear that these possessions may be lost, stolen, or devalued. If I’m in the presence of someone of greater net worth, fame, or status, I feel inferior. If I’m in the presence of someone of lesser net worth, fame or status, I feel superior. My sense of self-worth constantly fluctu-ates. I don’t have any sense of constancy, anchorage, or persistent selfhood. I am constantly trying to protect and insure my assets, properties, securities, position, or reputation.” ~ Stephen Covey
- “There is alas no law against incompetency; no striking example is made. They learn by our bodily jeopardy and make experiments until the death of the patients, and the doctor is the only person not punished for murder.” ~ Pliny the Elder
- “Ironically, members on both sides of the debate do agree about one thing: big bang cosmology puts their position in jeopardy. The big bang poses a problem for young-earth creationists because it makes the universe billions of years old rather than thousands. Such an assertion undercuts their system at its foundation. Big bang cosmology also presents a problem for atheistic scientists because it points directly to the existence of a transcendent Creator – a fact they dare not concede.” ~ Hugh Ross
- “Don’t make your audience play Jeopardy. Giving your answer before asking the question puts your audience at a disadvantage. It will also reveal your biases. Make it clear what question you are trying to answer first. Then allow your audience to engage in answering the question too.” ~ John Fairclough
-
“My body can’t put anyone in jeopardy of not making money anymore – my body is just not on the table that way anymore.” ~ Christina Aguilera
- “They always say the Miss America Pageant isn’t a beauty contest, it’s really a scholarship program. If that’s the case, why don’t we just put all the contestants on ‘Jeopardy!’ and pick Miss America that way? At least you get the smartest one.” ~ Jay Leno
- “As you evolve, you lean that wrestling is not necessarily about stunts or spots. You need to go out and show the audience that they can love you for the persona you are – not because of the risk you’re willing to take or the jeopardy you’re willing to put your body in.” ~ Matt Hardy
- “Well, I refer to Celebrity Jeopardy as the short-bus Jeopardy, because it is a lot easier. Like, there was a whole column basically naming stores in New York.” ~ Andy Richter
- “Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant.

-
“…The very nature of interstate war puts innocent civilians into great jeopardy, especially with modern technology.” ~ Murray Rothbard

- “I do agree that the science is not settled on this. The idea we would put Americans’ economy in jeopardy based on scientific theory that is not settled yet to me is nonsense. Just because you have a group of scientists who stood up and said this is the fact… Galileo got outvoted for a spell. To put Americans’ economic future in jeopardy, asking us to cut back in areas that would have monstrous economic impact on this country is not good economics and I would suggest is not necessarily good science.” ~ Rick Perry
- “To turn Karl [Popper]’s view on its head, it is precisely the abandonment of critical discourse that marks the transition of science. Once a field has made the transition, critical discourse recurs only at moments of crisis when the bases of the field are again in jeopardy. Only when they must choose between competing theories do scientists behave like philosophers.” ~ Thomas Kuhn
-
“Choose life over death, Niko, when a choice can be made that puts no soul in jeopardy.” ~ Janet Morris
- “We all have known good critics, who have stamped out poet’s hopes; Good statesmen, who pulled ruin on the state; Good patriots, who, for a theory, risked a cause; Good kings, who disemboweled for a tax; Good Popes, who brought all good to jeopardy; Good Christians, who sat still in easy-chairs; And damned the general world for standing up. Now, may the good God pardon all good men!” ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning
- “When I finish as the host of ‘Jeopardy!’ I’m going to go up to Taft in central California. They have a small college there that teaches you about oil drilling.” ~ Alex Trebek
