Okay, I know that on the game show Jeopardy, they often do trivia on different kinds of books, but I have hardly ever seen trivia on any fantasy novels on Jeopardy. The only time I saw a question about a fantasy book on Jeopardy was when they asked a question about a book series based on a card game and the answer was "What is 'Magic:The Gathhering'". Has anyone else ever seen any trivia on fantasy books on Jeopardy, or any other game shows for that matter?

Yes, Dune was mentioned in tonight's Jeopardy show. Also, I seem to recall something about Tolkein's Lord of the Rings trilogy at some point, and not too long ago Anne McCaffrey's Dragonrider series was in one of the Answers as well.

Well, isn't Dune in the Sci-Fi genre?

picky...picky...picky, Fantasy does not have to mean some pseudo medieval enviorment. Yes, in my estimation, any alternative realm is fantasy.

I don't know if Greek Mythology counts, but it is oft mentioned on Jeopardy. The only other fantasy-based questions I can remember were two asking about the TV shows Hercules and Xena (and no one got them correct!).

I once saw in a local trivia show a question about Dragonlance, the guy who asked didn't manage to pronounce Raistlin correctly....
