Kurt Vile Was An Answer On Jeopardy!
Occasionally, some fairly easy indie music trivia makes its way onto Jeopardy!, and when it does, contestants are often left baffled. Case in point: Tonight was the second night of Jeopardy!‘s annual College Championship, and Kurt Vile was featured as an answer — er, question — to the clue “The Violators assist this ‘Pretty Pimpin’ rocker in his foul work.” Sadly, it seems that no one knew who he was. Kurt himself pointed out his appearance on Instagram with the caption “Made it #jeopardy.”
Kurt Vile was just referenced on college Jeopardy! and none of those stoners got it @therealkurtvile
