Jeopardy
From YouTube

New Orleans music is obviously globally renowned. But to make it onto an episode of "Jeopardy!" — and as an entire category? Now that's true fame. 

The category was "New New Orleans Music," and the answers to several of the questions will be blindingly obvious to most New Orleanians, even those who aren't musically inclined.

But some of the questions proved challenging for the show's contestants Wednesday night, who botched the pronunciation of two local musicians' names (one so badly that the question was considered incorrect), and needed two attempts to identify the city's biggest and most famous event. You know, the one that happens every year before Lent? 

Still, it's nice to be included, and the episode prompted ecstatic tweets from New Orleans stars Wendell Pierce, Jon Batiste and Flagboy Giz. 

So let's get to it: Would you beat the "Jeopardy!" contestants?
