Talking Heads Introduce Their Own Jeopardy! Category: Watch

Talking Heads have been celebrating the 40th anniversary of their historic concert film Stop Making Sense and its accompanying soundtrack album dating back to last year. On Tuesday night (October 15th), they continued the festivities by presenting a Jeopardy! category dedicated to them.

Ranging from the venue where Talking Heads played their first show to the director of Stop Making Sense to the group’s biggest hit, the category’s clues were pretty reasonable for anyone with a passable familiarity with the quartet’s music.

In September 2023, Talking Heads appeared onstage together for the first time since 2002 for a Stop Making Sense panel at the Toronto International Film Festival. This led to Live Nation (unsuccessfully) attempting a proper reunion at Coachella 2024.

However, fans were still able to get their Talking Heads fix when the band brought Stop Making Sense back to theaters and released< a tribute album (get your copy here) via A24 Music featuring covers from Paramore, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, and more.

See where Stop Making Sense ranked on our list of the best concert films of all time. We also celebrated Talking Heads during Bass Week in March by naming “Psycho Killer” as one of the 50 greatest basslines of all time and Tina Weymouth as one of the 100 greatest bassists of all time.
