Five Times Boise Was the Answer to a ‘Jeopardy’ Question
Surprisingly, not every question was in reference to potatoes.
Jeopardy! has been around since 1984, and has aired over 7,000. So Boise was bound to come up from time to time. There's only so many questions in the world, and the City of Trees has been the answer to Jeopardy!'s questions more often than you'd think.
There's an online database of Jeopardy! questions that is searchable by keyword, so you can see exactly how many questions had Boise in the answer. Surprisingly, Boise has been mentioned 55 times on the show, and an additional five times in final Jeopardy!

Anyways, here's five times Boise popped up as the answer to a Jeopardy! question:
