If you're creative, you can write your own material.  I hosted a few games over on another message board, and that's what I did.

Jeopardy occasionally has a category called 'Jeoportmanteau' that contains clues that fit the format.  Search the J-Archive for 'Jeoportmanteau' and you'll come up with 35 clues, which is at least a start.

My friends and I used the material provided in Name Burst to play You Don’t Say! Three of the names used in the three games we played were unfamiliar to at least one of the players, but the game worked well. We enjoyed it.
AHA! Name Burst! I'm away from the apartment and I was racking my brain trying to remember that. Yes, Al is right, it did work well.

For any Q&A games with outdated/irrelevant material, the game Bezzerwizzer is a great all-purpose substitute. My roommates and I have done "Tic Tac Dough" and "The Joker's Wild," using a random drawing of Bezzerwizzer's tiles to determine the categories for each game. When we did "Bullseye" for a convention a while back and absolutely didn't feel like writing material for it, we called it "Trivial Pursuit: Bullseye Edition" and put colors on the wheels instead of category names.

It is also a damned fine game in its own right.

Which is one of the reasons I picked it up.  I'm planning on using it for "The Big Showdown" at an upcoming game night, too.
