00:00 "We would take her at a heartbeat."
00:02 Emma Stone could have a new role pretty soon.
00:05 During an interview on Live with Kelly and Mark, the current Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings
00:09 was asked if he heard about Emma Stone's dream to be on the show as a contestant.
00:13 "And she doesn't want to be on Celebrity."
00:15 "She wants to be on Jeopardy!"
00:16 "She wants to be on like, real, original recipe Jeopardy!"
00:20 "Right."
00:21 "And that's a hard show.
00:23 We would take her at a heartbeat."
00:24 This comes after the La La Land actress admitted to Variety's Award Circuit podcast that
00:29 she is a Jeopardy! junkie and applies to be a contestant on the game show every year,
00:34 saying, "That's my dream.
00:35 You know I apply every June."
00:37 "And nothing?
00:38 Not even Celebrity?"
00:39 "No, I'm sorry.
00:40 I don't want to be...
00:41 I don't want to go on Celebrity Jeopardy!
00:45 I really want to earn my stripes.
00:47 I would like to go on real Jeopardy!
00:49 But you have to take the test and you can only take it once a year with your email address.
00:53 So every June I take the quiz and they don't tell you how you did.
00:57 They just say, 'We'll let you know in the next 9 to 12 months if you got on the show.'
01:01 And guess what?
01:02 I haven't gotten on the show.
01:03 But I watch it every single night and I mark down how many answers I get right and I swear
01:07 I could go on Jeopardy!"
01:08 And when asked if she has a chance, he simply says, "No, I think she would have to go through
01:13 the same tests.
01:14 And I think she might have a leg up though.
01:16 She's probably pretty good on camera."
01:17 Emma Stone might not have Jeopardy! on her resume just yet, but the actress has certainly
01:21 been sweeping this year's awards season for her performance as Bella Baxter in the movie
01:26 Poor Things, winning Best Actress at both the Golden Globes and Critics' Choice Awards.
01:32 When accepting her award at the Critics' Choice Awards, she said, "I'm going to be honest,
01:36 I'm in like full-blown shock.
01:37 I didn't have anything that I was going to say because this is completely crazy."
01:42 Giving a shout out to her other wonderful nominees in the category, including Margot
01:46 Robbie for Barbie.
01:48 She went on to say her role helped her unlearn a lot of things, jokingly adding, "I'm still
01:53 working on it.
01:54 This is the Critics' Choice Awards, and it is about outside opinion at an award show
02:01 and critics.
02:02 But I'm very grateful to the critics for this.
02:05 But I'm just learning not to care what you think."
02:07 "I'm just learning not to care what you think."
