‘Jeopardy!’ Fans Bash Ken Jennings For Denying Answer

Jeopardy! fans are not happy with the host, Ken Jennings. This is due to his denying one of the answers. Ken was already in fear of his job due to the issues he had on screen. However, if fans do not like him as the host, his time may be cut short. The game show has been popular for many years. However, fans are now questioning if the rules are even “real”. Keep reading to find out more about this.

Ken Jennings Fears For His Job

Ken Jennings knows that he has some issues when it comes to the television show. He is afraid that he may lose his job due to this. He has been seeking help from Drew Carey. He wants him to be in his corner when it comes to defending his job.

“He felt that Mike was the best prepared to replace Alex and keep the franchise going. But that’s because Drew and Mike were friends. Now that Mayim has bowed out, Drew has really come around to Ken, even though they are merely acquaintances and colleagues. Ken is self-aware and knows his issues are always going to be how his personality reads on camera, and not his proven expertise with trivia or with the Jeopardy! game itself.”

He may have to step it up or his job may be on the chopping block.

Fans Bash The Host For Denying An Answer

Not only that but now fans are bashing Ken for denying an answer. Ken asked a question about Jason Schwartzman getting his head kicked in during an Edgar Wright film. Issac was the first to answer. He answered “Scott Pilgrim vs. The Universe”. However, this answer was not correct, it was “Scott Pilgrim vs. The World”. Fans did not agree with this denial.

 “Ken (seemingly) not accepting “Scott Pilgrim” and requiring the full “Scott Pilgrim vs the World” has me wondering if there’s a hard and fast rule about movie titles and subtitles. Or if it’s more vibe-based on the judges’ part? ‘vs the World’ is clearly deemphasized in that movie’s marketing materials.”
“Would the full Terminator 2 Judgement Day instead of just Terminator 2?”
“There’s other Scott Pilgrim media with different titles after the name, so that would likely influence if they would require more than just the name,”
