Do contestants on jeopardy know the question before the show airs?
Sure the show was taped long before they air the program. You might mean "Did they know in advance that the question was going to be asked?" That's like asking if the show is a total fraud that passes out a list of questions and tells the contestants to study them. In truth, for the contestants, it's sort of like The Tonight Show's 'sidewalk all-stars'. The sketch is funny because most of us know the answer to the question Jay is asking. Many of the answers to the Jeopardy questions are known by all three contestants, but only one wins a chance to answer by ringing in first. Remember, they are on the show because they pride themselves on being able to answer trivia questions. They would not like to have the questions passed out ahead of time to everyone because they feel they would lose their advantage. So, in a sense, they know the answer to the question before the team of writers for Jeopardy even made up the question. With travel and lodging as high as it is some of the 3rd place finishers lose money for the chance to be on the show.

3 contestants (2 new & one returning champion) are shown 6 subjects, each with five even $ values below, $200-$1000. The Returning champion chooses the first subject and $ value (e.g: Literature for $200). The clue is then read aloud to the contestants. Once the clue is finished being read, the contestants can try to answer. The first contestant to press his/her buzzer in the hand gives an answer. If the answer is right, that $ value with that clue is added to the contestant's score . A wrong answers will subtract the $ from the contestant's score. In the first round, there is 1 hidden clue called the "daily double". If a contestant chooses the daily double clue, only that contestant gets to try to answer & he/she can risk any or all of his/her points. In the second round, the Double jeopardy round, there are 2 "daily doubles" and all the clue values are doubled ($400-$2000). The contestant with the lowest score chooses first. If a contestant(s) has a negative score at the end of Double Jeopardy, he/she is eliminated from the game. In the final round, any/all remaining contestants are shown a final subject & clue, then the show goes to a commercial to give the contestants time to make their bids. The contestants have 30 seconds to answer the final clue. after all the bids are added/subtracted, the player(s) with the most $ wins and comes back for the next game All answers must be in the form of a question. During the first round you will be allowed to ask it in question form if your answer was not in question form. During the second round the answer will be considered wrong if not answered in a question format.. Second and third place finishers will receive prizes for second and third instead of keeping the money won during that night's game.

Is there a Whose Line Is It Anyway game?
Yes there is! "Who's Line is it Anyway?" is a game show hosted by Drew Carey. If you have Time Warner Cable, you can watch this show at 11:00pm on weekdays on channel 1105. Some contestants that I know of include Collin Mockrey, Ryan Stiles, and Brad Sherwood, and Wayne, but some others have appeared on the show too. On this show, suggestions are taken from little envelopes and from the audience and the contestants have to think of as many funny things as they can based on those suggestions. Some of these games include Scenes from a Hat, where Drew Carey pulls out little scenes from a hat that the contestants have to act out, Scene to Rap, where the contestants act out a scene but have to be rapping the whole time, Who's Line, where the contestants are given random lines which they must use during a scene, Hoedown, which is basically a hoedown, Change, where the contestants act out a scene and one person says change. When that person says "Change," the last person that said something has to change the last line they said. Also, there is Examples, where the contestants have to come up with examples of whatever the host says, and my favorite, Props, where the contestants come up with as many possible funny ideas they can come up with based on the props they are given. But there are many more games on the show. I suggest you see the show for yourself. Remember, if you have Time Warner Cable, you can see this awesome show on channel 1105 at 11:00pm on weekdays.
