Pop Culture Jeopardy, is a game that involves questions on pop culture, and is hosted by Colin Jost of Saturday Night Live. MMA, Gen Z, Broadway, Alternative Rock, The Avengers, and a lot more topics are some of the game’s categories. The Streamy Award Winners category was selected by a three-person team on Wednesday, January 29, during Episode 25. The question that was asked to them was as follows:

“In 2021, she won the live-streamer award. She once joked her mom named her for ‘The Nord Mythology Angels.’”

While the actual answer on the show was “Valkyrae,” whose real name is Rachel Hofstetter, Pop Culture Jeopardy included an incorrect information in their question. Though the question mentioned that Valkyrae’s mother came up with the moniker she uses on stream, the Twitch star swiftly clarified that the information presented on the show was incorrect.

One of Valkyrae’s fans brought the episode to her attention. She took no time to retweet the post and informed her audience that the information is incorrect. She tweeted:

“Is this real???? The way it’s not even accurate.”

Valkyrae’s Journey Back on Twitch So Far

Renowned for her exceptional streaming skills, Rachel “Valkyrae” Hofstetter has triumphantly returned to Twitch. She has already regained her position as the platform’s most popular female streamer in just a few weeks, which is proof of her enduring impact and the enthusiasm around her return.

In 2015, Valkyrae started her Twitch streaming career, rapidly becoming well-known for her Fortnite videos. She became popular within the streaming community thanks to her charm and skills in gaming. She gained recognition in 2020 when she agreed to a two-year exclusive contract with YouTube Gaming. Her brand grew as a result of this ambitious move, and she eventually signed two more deals with the site.

Valkyrae shocked her followers in December 2024 by announcing that she had finished her last deal with YouTube and would be returning to Twitch. The excitement was evident as she announced that her debut Twitch stream would take place on January 8, 2025.

Valkyrae did more than simply come back and took control. In her first week back, she surpassed other well-known female streamers like VTuber IronMouse with over 706,000 hours of watch time, according to Streams Charts. Additionally, compared to others in the top 10, such as IronMouse, who streamed for 60 hours, she accomplished this with only 47 hours of weekly streaming.
