In this game, you will be presented with an incorrect statement concerning something in pop culture. The first person to buzz in can attempt to identify what is wrong about the statement to get points. You must say "Um, actually..." at the start of your correction or you won't get the points. If your statement is wrong or you didn't say "Um, actually..." the first contestant to buzz in goes next. You can also buzz in before the host has finished narrating the statement if you've identified what's wrong. If you're incorrect, the host continues with the statement. If you get it wrong you don't lose any points, but besides that the amount of points you get and how an answer is selected is the same as Jeopardy. (Also any misspellings, gramatical errors, or mispronunciations aren’t going to be what’s wrong about the statement so ignore them)

Also this isn't for any points
