The Foo Fighters were a category on Jeopardy!

by Jeremy Mersereau

You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain, as some ding-dong once said about a homicidal clown (I think it was Gore Vidal about Emmett Kelly), but the quote could easily apply to Dave Grohl. I mean, yeah, this is a rock legend who is absolutely the definition of a real dude, but once you start drum battling Muppets and squabbling with the Emmys while sitting on a literal throne, you’re well on your way to ‘unbearable media autocrat’ territory.

Another sign of the ongoing Grohlverload? The fact that earlier this week, Jeopardy! featured an entire category devoted to the mainstream’s fav rockers, and of course the questions were about as softball as you can get outside a rec league.

How did you do? Did you correctly answer all of the above? If so, congrats, you’re a bigger Foos fan than any of the Jeopardy! contestants, none of whom knew all of the answers. Apply today to become Trivia Jester in the court of the Gibson King. [H/T Consequence of Sound]
