‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Mock ‘Brutal’ Detail in Fun Halloween Video
Instagram/Jeopardy
Jeopardy! fans are not sugarcoating their disdain for the quiz show—not over a ruling or on-air clue mistake, but for how the social media team butchered a cake in a new Halloween-themed video.
On Thursday (October 31), Jeopardy!’s official Instagram page shared a post titled, “Is it real or is it cake? Jeopardy! edition.” The challenge entailed an unseen assailant taking a large knife to various set pieces on stage, including a podium (which was real), Ken Jennings’ host lectern (also real, and yes it’s called a lectern, not a podium!), and a buzzer (also real).

Lastly, the knife-wielding cameraman made their way over to Jennings himself, creeping up on a suddenly frightened host. But as it turned out, Jennings was actually “cake,” as the image of him mid-jump-scare was screen-grabbed and put atop a sheet cake. The video concluded with the knife being used, but only to cut a wedge out of the Ken Jennings Halloween cake.
In the comments section, the top reactions were not supportive but rather criticisms of how the cake was sliced: a V shape hacked into a rectangular cake instead of a rectangular slice, like a normal person would do. Some fans went as far as saying it ruined their day.
“Good morning to everyone except whoever cut the cake like that,” the official Pop Culture Jeopardy! account wrote.
“Absolute monster cutting a triangle piece out of a rectangular cake…” another fan wrote scoring 200 likes.
“The scariest part of this video is the way the intern cut the cake,” the third-most liked comment read.
“Really brutal how you cut the cake in a pie shape,” wrote the fourth.
“They [sic] way y’all cut the cake is stressing me out,” wrote a fifth.
“Why would you cut it like that?!” wrote a sixth.
“One of the greatest intellectual shows in history and they proceed to cut a triangle out of a rectangular sheet cake,” wrote a seventh.
“Wow did you really have to cut the cake like that and ruin everyone’s day?” wrote an eighth.
What do you think, was Jeopardy! trolling us or does their social media team not know how to cut a cake? Let us know in the comments!
