Jeopardy! trolls game show rival Wheel of Fortune by making epic puzzle fail a clue during Invitational Tournament

JEOPARDY! has teased their sister game show, Wheel of Fortune, for an awkward mishap on the latter.

A Wheel of Fortune contestant epically failed at a puzzle, which Jeopardy! turned into a clue earlier this week.

On Wednesday’s Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament episode, Wheel of Fortune made its way one studio lot over to be used as a clue.

The abovementioned clue was priced at $400, falling under the “As Heard on TV” section.

“From our pals down the hall came the puzzle here,” Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, 49, said.

As Ken spoke, producers simultaneously showed a photo of Wheel of Fortune’s Final puzzle board from a throwback show.

Captured in the snap was an almost complete puzzle that read: “A Streetcar Na_ed Desire.”

“Instead of an M, this letter got called for, saucy but wrong,” Ken continued.

Although last night’s competitor, Larissa Kelly, picked the clue, her contender, Andrew He, was the one to swoop in and solve it.

“What is K,” Andrew answered.

Ken informed Andrew that the Wheel of Fortune contestant “called for K,” letting him know he was right.

Andrew joked that he’d watch a movie named A Streetcar Naked Desire.

Jeopardy! fans complain it’s ‘impossible’ to get on program as game show continues to just ‘bring back past contestants’_Facebook_Jeopardy!

‘LOL!’

The clip on Jeopardy!’s official Instagram account, where fans loved the playful mashup moment.

“Wheel Of Fortune and Jeopardy. I love this video,” a fan wrote under the post.

“Lol Andrew,” another added.

“This is like a J!/Wheel/@aftermidnight mashup,” a third person emphasized.

ANDREW’S BIG WIN

Along with making viewers laugh with his comment, Andrew steamrolled through the second Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament semifinals on April 3.

His win caused mixed reactions from fans longing for a less predictable finale.

Andrew faced Larissa and Sam Kavanaugh on Wednesday for the grand prize of $100,000 and a spot in Jeopardy! Masters Season 2.

The Jeopardy! Invitational Tournament started with 27 stars from throughout the game show’s history, and now its top three contenders are nearly locked in.

After the Jeopardy! round, 2019 All-Star Games winner Larissa had $4K, Andrew led with $5.6K, and 2021 Tournament of Champions winner Sam had $800.

In Double Jeopardy!, Andrew did what he does best: found both Daily Doubles and went all-in on one to have $19.2K, adding $6K on the remaining.

From there, it was technically game over halfway through the round, and Andrew stopped buzzing in.

He maintained an uncatchable runaway going into Final Jeopardy! boasting $32K, while Larissa had $13.2K, and Sam had $9.2K.

Final Jeopardy! under “PHYSICISTS” read, “This man with a force named after him published an 1835 scientific treatise on the physics of billiard balls.” – the correct response being “Corilois?

Andrew wagered $0 to advance to the finale with an impressive total nonetheless and hugged his fellow champions.
