7 Questions About Danbury, CT That Have Appeared On 'Jeopardy'

Jeopardy! is one of everyone's favorite game shows. Most of us never get any of the answers right, but you still really enjoy it.

It's very weird when you're watching, and a question about the town you live in pops up, so I decided to dig through the Jeopardy! database of questions to see what questions they have had on the show about Danbury, and I found a bunch.

Remember, Jeopardy! is the game where they give contestants the answers, and then the contestants have to give the question. So if you're from Danbury, or even one of the other surrounding towns, see how many of these you would have gotten right on the show. Good Luck!
