I tried out for Jeopardy once, in my 20s. Not just one of "those 'Try out for Jeopardy' websites": the actual, scheduled (online) try-out. (Early days of them transitioning to the online application process.)
I didn't make it past that initial test. I got absolutely annihilated. I love playing trivia games, but I don't play often because people loathe playing with me. I used to go to pub quizzes; people stopped going with me, because I'd end up answering 95% of the questions. I used to play Trivial Pursuit with coworkers; we stopped because I won all the time. But compared to the people who actually make it on Jeopardy? I'm dog####.
