Sometimes Jeopardy! likes to remind us that it's not just a mom, it's a cool mom, with a category that speaks to what the kids are talking about. Last night's episode included a category that's been haunting Jay-Z for the last year.
The category didn't actually have anything to do with our lord and savior Beyonce of the Knowles-Carter, but instead made references to famous Rebeccas (and their hair) throughout fictional history. Whaddya say, wanna play a little Jeopardy!?
