Fan-favorite Cartoon Characters to Give Out Clues on ‘Jeopardy!’

If your TV starts talking like it’s straight out of Saturday morning cartoons tonight, don’t panic — you’re just watching “Jeopardy!” with a twist. On June 18, 2025, the classic quiz show is handing over clue duty to some very animated icons, and no, we don’t mean “animated” as in enthusiastic. We’re talking “Phineas and Ferb,” the inventive step-brothers who made summer unforgettable.

Yep, for one night only, the brainy trivia gets a cartoon makeover, and it’s giving full crossover energy. These iconic characters are stepping in to read clues during the episode; it’s the kind of unexpected move that has fans buzzing. Think about it: you’re answering a history question… and Phineas Flynn is the one asking it? Peak TV.

Dan Povenmire Drops a Major Tease

This isn’t some tiny cameo, either. Dan Povenmire, the genius behind “Phineas and Ferb,” as well as the voice of the show’s main villain, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, posted a quick but hype-filled video on YouTube. 

He straight-up told fans, “There’s been a lot of great milestones in my career and tonight is another one,” he says, as the video changes to a clip of the iconic cartoon duo. “My guys… The guys that I drew in 1993 are giving the clues to an entire category, so watch Jeopardy tonight.” 

If that doesn’t get you pumped, I don’t know what will. 

Cartoon Characters + Trivia? Yes, Please

Let’s be real, “Jeopardy!” usually plays it safe and serious. So having the lead characters from “Phineas and Ferb” deliver clues? That’s a power move. It brings a fresh, playful vibe to a show famous for brainy competition. Plus, it’s a sneaky way to remind us why these characters are still beloved after all these years.

Whether you grew up watching Phineas and Ferb’s wild inventions or just know their catchy theme song (you’re humming it now, admit it), tonight’s “Jeopardy!” episode is a must-see. It’s a perfect blend of nostalgia, humor, and trivia.

And just to seal the deal, after more than seven years off the air, “Phineas and Ferb” returned with Season 5 which began premiering on June 5, 2025, on Disney Channel and next day on Disney+. And this “Jeopardy!” appearance feels like a celebratory high-five to the fans and a reminder these bros aren’t going anywhere. 

So yeah, grab your snacks and get ready to watch your favorite animated duo school everyone in trivia — and do it with style. This episode of “Jeopardy!” airs tonight, Wednesday, June 18, 2025 on ABC; check the “Jeopardy!” website for your specific broadcast time.
