‘Jersey Shore’ Stars Flunk Ellen’s Basic Trivia Quiz
Filed Under: Ellen Degeneres > Snooki > TV News
Our friends from the ‘Jersey Shore‘ will not be hitting the celebrity game-show circuit once their 15 minutes of fame is up.
In one of the more hilarious clips ever from an upcoming “Ellen” show, three of the ‘Jersey’ stars failed miserably to answer simple questions from the trivia game “Know or Go!”
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, and DJ Pauly D were each sent through the trap door after being stumped on bonehead questions. This even with a New Jersey theme and Ellen DeGeneres giving as much forgiveness as humanly possible from the podium.
DJ Pauly D. took all of 15 seconds of swaying and umming to answer his first question. “Which New Jersey City is Newark Airport in.” He finally answered “Newark.” There was massive applause when he concluded that with monthly electric bills there would by 12 payments in a year (duh!). But he was stumped when he couldn’t remember the slogan for Olive Garden.
“We don’t pump our gas, we pump our fists,” he grinned in answer before being dropped through the trap door.
The Situation did no better as he was unable to tell Ellen what “bon” meant into French. “That’s my question?” he cried. “Might as well just drop me.”
Ellen let him continue and he managed to name the four seasons. It only took him 16.9 seconds.
But he was finally sent down for not knowing the host of CNN’s “Situation Room.” As the studio audience cheered, he was sent down the chute after asking for a hint.
Snooki was even worse, first incorrectly stating that New Jersey fought for the South in the Civil War. She was forgiven. But Ellen pulled the switch when Snookie was asked to name the 13 original colonies.
“All of them?” she cried. “New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island…Canada.”
