Big Chuck Takes the Jeopardy Quiz

Whenever Jeopardy goes on a contestant search, the show offers up a quiz online for potential contestants to take.

Big Chuck used to do this over the phone, but hasn't done it in years. We thought it would be fun to put his "broad, not deep" knowledge to the test today.

I asked Chuck each question in the last Jeopardy online quiz (listed below), and recorded the segment. You can follow along below.
