5 Times Ocean County Got Shout Outs On Jeopardy
It's always fun to watch TV and see your hometown get a shout out. And with 54 years under its belt, America's favorite brain game, Jeopardy! has gone to Ocean County plenty of times over the years.
Before I get to the list, I do have to give this disclaimer - I am not including the times that we've only gotten on the show because of MTV. It's actually a little embarrassing.
That being said, here are 5 times that Ocean County has gotten some Jeopardy! love:
Seaside Heights
January 24th 1997A Sept. festival in Seaside Heights, New Jersey features hundreds of these silly circus performers.
("What are Clowns")
Everyone knows Clownfest!
Toms River

("What is the World Series")
I mean, come on, we do have a road named "Little League World Champions Boulevard" after all!
Point Pleasant

("What is New Jersey")
Well, duh.
Barnegat Bay
