LOS ANGELES, CA, United States (UPI) -- Forget the No. 2 pencils, 'Jeopardy!' hopefuls will soon be able to chase their game show dream online.

Producers have decided to try allowing potential contestants to take their 50-question preliminary exam online, The Hollywood Reporter said.

The exam will be offered March 28-30 with each day designated for a specific time zone. And those who may be planning to travel among time zones beware -- each exam will be different.

Contestant coordinators evaluate an annual 25,000 would-be 'Jeopardy!' contestants with 400 actually making it to the show, executive producer Harry Friedman said.

Register for the test

Ever dream of being a contestant on Jeopardy and jawin' with Alex?

I've signed up and an gonna hope for the best (yeah, like i'll get past the perseonality interview...) but the first step is to take the test... I'm signed up for March 28 at 8:00pm EST... Sign up and join the fun.... it says that actual scored don't get posted - but you'll know how you did...

But good luck to you, Mal!

Brings me to mind of a song...

Quote:

Oh-oh-oh-oh

I was there to match my intellect on national TV
Against a plumber, oh, and an architect, both with a PhD
I was tense, I was nervous, I guess it just wasn't my night
Art Fleming gave the answers
Oh, but I couldn't get the questions right, -ight, -ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)

Well, I knew I was in trouble now
My hope of winning sank
Oh, 'cause I got the Daily Double now
And then my mind went blank
I took Potpourri for one hundred
And then my head started to spin
Well, I'm givin' up Don Pardo
Just tell me now what I didn't win, yeah, yeah

I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)

That's right, Al--You lost. And let me tell you what you didn't win: a twenty colume set of the Encyclopedia International, a case of Turtle Wax, and a yeard's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat. But that's not all. You also made yourself look like a jerk in front of millions of people. You brought shame and disgrace to your family name for generations to come. You don't get to come back tomorrow. You don't even get a lousy copy of our home game. You're a complete loser!

Don't know what I was thinkin' of
I guess I just wasn't too bright
Well, I sure hope I do better
Next weekend on The Price Is Right, -ight, -ight

I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby (oooh)
I lost on Jeopardy, baby
