Today's TV schedule showed this:
Jeopardy!
05-09-2023
Season 39, Episode 172
Three contestants play a different kind of trivia quiz hosted by Ken Jennings. Whoever scores the highest after a series of quizzes will get the chance to play the bonus round for bigger prizes.


It sounded like some variant game, but it was an ordinary Jeopardy game, hosted by Mayim Bialyk.  Possibly whoever wrote the description had never watched the show.

I expected the difference to turn out to be the long-standing Answer-and-Question gimmick. To be honest the writeup is so plausibly mundane and yet so wrong I wonder if it might be AI-generated.

ETA: "Whoever scores the highest after a series of quizzes will get the chance to play the bonus round for bigger prizes." really just sounds like the structure of Wheel of Fortune or Pyramid or Match Game or probably a hundred other shows I can't think of. It's definitely not Jeopardy where the final round includes everyone who remained above water.
