Kevin Smith’s first film was Clerks, which was released back in 1994, and the director went on to helm Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and much more. Back in 2019, Smith directed Jay and Silent Bob Reboot, but it was released in a unique way. The movie was originally released as a two-night only Fathom Events screening and then Smith and Jason Mewes took the film on tour with the “Reboot Roadshow.” Smith was very open about the movie’s earnings, which actually beat some impressive box office records. It appears the success of Smith’s roadshow hasn’t been forgotten by those who count. In fact, it was recently mentioned on Jeopardy!.
I’m just touched that the Reboot Roadshow was remembered enough to be a question on @Jeopardy tonight, let alone the fact that the contestant got it right! As a kid, I would’ve been shocked & delighted to hear someone on TV say my name. As an adult, it’s equally as awesome. https://t.co/0Si6iX4evJ
