“Danger!” host Ken Jennings is ready to welcome Emma Stone to his show with open arms, but there are a few conditions.
During a recent appearance on “Live with Kelly and Mark,” Jennings told Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos that he plans to have Stone on the show “soon.”
“She doesn't want to be on 'Celebrity,' she wants to be on Real Original Recipe 'Jeopardy!' I mean, that's a tough show,” he told the talk show host. He went on to say that she would receive no special treatment and “must undergo the same testing” as other applicants.
The first step to apply to participate in the game show is to take a 50-question online quiz. If successful, he will then receive an email within 12 months of his submission letting him know if he has been selected to proceed to the audition round.

Jennings joked that Stone “might have an advantage” when it comes to the audition round, saying, “She's probably pretty good on camera.” During the audition round, applicants play a mock version of the game and then tell interesting facts about their likes, dislikes, hobbies, career, etc.
“Looks, if you want to be on the show, you can now try from home. You can take a test online and then do a Zoom audition,” Jennings said. “We no longer send people to malls and hotels to audition for shows.”
The “Danger!” host's comments come after Stone said on the Variety Awards Circuit podcast in early January that it was her “favorite” show and that it was her “dream” to be a contestant. This came out after it was revealed.
“You can only take the test once a year using your email address. I've never been on the show,” she said on the podcast. “I look at it every night and write down the number of answers I get right. I swear, I can do 'Dangerous'!”
