Foo Fighters were the topic for a full category on US game show Jeopardy earlier this week.

Only the first two questions were answered – with the players missing a ‘Big Money’ question over David Letterman’s song choice on the last Late Show episode before he retired. The video can be viewed from the category’s starting point below.
