The clue: “Drusilla was one of the vampire antagonists on this TV series that debuted in 1997.”
None of the three Jeopardy! contestants buzzed in.
A fan posted a screenshot to the Buffy subreddit on June 23rd with the caption “Buffy was on Jeopardy again! None of the contestants knew this one.” What followed was the kind of collective fan outrage you’d expect.
“Come on, even if you’re not that familiar with the show and the name Drusilla doesn’t ring a bell… a vampire-related TV show starting in 1997 should be a given!” one person wrote. Another: “The question is easy! I would IMMEDIATELY be pressing the buzzer and answering very quickly.”
The clue does give you quite a lot to work with. A vampire show from 1997. A character called Drusilla. There is really only one reasonable answer. Juliet Landau’s Drusilla appeared in 17 episodes of Buffy and seven of Angel, making her one of the most iconic villains the franchise produced.
Somewhere, all three contestants are having a difficult week.
