‘Jeopardy!’ Has Cringeworthy Start To New Season
Jeopardy! just began its new season and it is already off to a cringeworthy start. There was a clue that had both contestants, viewers, and even Ken Jennings in shock after learning what the correct answer was. So, what had everyone baffled and crawling in their skin? Keep reading for more details.
Jeopardy! Has Cringeworthy Start To New Season
Season 41 of Jeopardy! just kicked off and it is already raising some eyebrows. This tends to happen as some clues can be a tad controversial. Or, contestants can make them more dramatic than they are and that very well may be what going on after the season premiere. Ken Jennings is back after a brief hiatus and fans are undoubtedly excited for this. The premiere occurred right before Ryan Seacrest took over as the new host of Wheel of Fortune so it was a big night for game shows.
Ken Jennings-YouTube
In the premiere, there was a clue that had the contestants stuck. According to The Sun, the clue fell under the “Parenting” category and read as this:
“Is this OK in front of your kids? Ali Wentworth & Heidi Klum have publicly said it is for them & theirs.”
It was worth $600 and one contestant guessed “swearing” which was incorrect. The next contestant tried, “going to the bathroom” but that was also wrong. After hearing the two wrong guesses, Ken Jennings joked:
“I think I am happy not to hear a third guess on this one.”
So, what was the correct answer? It was being naked in front of children. After hearing that was the answer, fans immediately headed to social media to express their disdain for it:
Cringe start to #Jeopardy in the Parenting category
Nudity!!! Tonight’s first scream! #Jeopardy
Bribing, swearing, and going to the bathroom. Perhaps CPS should check with these families
This is not the first time and it will likely not be the last where answers were so wrong that they were almost comical. The Jeopardy! Instagram has a whole compilation of them.
Months Of Fun Ahead
The new season of Jeopardy! is set for nearly a year of fun ahead. It will last for eleven months which means even more cringeworthy answers from contestants. Furthermore, there will be no more dueling hosts as it is solely Ken Jennings as Mayim Bialik is officially out. She exited last year during the strikes to stand in solidarity with the writers and actors and then was let go when it was realized they just needed one host. So, that should lend to some consistency for Season 41.
What did you think of the answer and di you find it cringeworthy or funny? Let us know your thoughts in the comments below.
