Emma Stone enjoys playing trivia games on a talk show after revealing her desire to win Jeopardy! participant

Emma Stone after revealing her strong desire to compete on Jeopardy! was excited to play a quiz game on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.

The 35-year-old actress was asked by Stephen, 59, while promoting her latest film Poor Things, if she would like to apply for the Jeopardy! game show.

Emma, ​​dressed in a black blazer and matching skirt, said she took part in the online quiz which is made available to potential participants once a year.

“It doesn't say how you did it, so you'll have to wait and see if you get an email in 12 months,” Emma said.

“Why don't you do Celebrity Jeopardy?” Stephen asked.

“I don't want to do Celebrity Jeopardy,” Emma said.

Stephen pointed out to Emma that she is a celebrity and there is danger! show she is going on will be a Celebrity Jeopardy.

'No, that is not true. If you know you signed up, took the quiz, got on the show by actually having the brains to be on the show,” Emma said.

“Not that the folks at Celebrity Jeopardy don't have brains, because I've seen some impressive candidates. But I just want to know if I passed the test. This could be because I didn't actually graduate high school or go to college, and I like knowing that I passed the test,” Emma said.

Stephen then revealed that they had prepared a Jeopardy!-style quiz for her.

“Oh boy. Now you'll understand why I haven't been on the show,” Emma said, laughing.

Stephen explained that the questions would have a The Late Show theme or an Ed Sullivan Theater theme.

“Emma Stone, welcome to Jeopardy. First question: Stephen Colbert is such a fan of this author's work that he has raised his concerns about the Elves of Mirkwood with Peter Jackson,” Stephen said.

“Who is the author of Lord of the Rings, Tolkien,” Emma answered correctly.

Emma also got the next question right when she correctly answered that 'Ed Sullivan' brought many new artists into Americans' homes.

“It was rumored that the crime rate dropped dramatically during their February 9, 1964 appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show,” Stephen said.

“Who are the Beatles?” Emma replied.

'Yes, Beatles. By the way, these are all real questions that appeared on Jeopardy,” Stephen said.

“Oh, exciting,” Emma said with a big smile.

She got the next question wrong and exclaimed “damn,” but came back with a correct answer.

“This singer's hip movements on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1957 were not shown because they were considered too sexual,” Stephen said.

“Who was Elvis Presley,” Emma answered correctly.

“Yes, that's right,” said Stephen.

“On January 30, 2024, Emma Stone appeared on 'The Late Show' in support of her outstanding performance and Oscar nomination for this film,” Stephen said as Emma laughed.

“What's… being here with you tonight,” Emma replied.

“I'm sorry, we were looking for poor things,” Stephen said as Emma dropped her head into her hand and giggled.

Emma has been nominated for an acting Oscar for the fourth time for her work in Poor Things and is also nominated as a producer.

'It's very exciting, just for the whole crew. It was many years in the making. We're really excited,” Emma said.

Poor Things was directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma said they have worked together four times.

“This was our third time and after that we made another movie,” Emma said. “This was our third one and we made another one last fall after we made Poor Things. It's called Types of Kindness.'

Emma was excited about playing Bella Baxter in Poor Things after Stephen said Bella was a 'great character' who experiences no shame.

'Are you joking? It was the best,” Emma said, explaining that Bella doesn't judge herself or her impulses at all.

Poor Things was nominated in 11 categories at the upcoming 96th Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Emma won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy earlier this month for her work in Poor Things.
