The Least Correct ‘Jeopardy!’ Answer I Have Ever Seen

Imagine you’re a contestant on “Jeopardy!” A Daily Double or Final Round answer comes up, and you’re left clueless. What do you do? Do you write “WHAT IS…” like a lot of contestants do? Do you scribble a hasty, “SUCK IT TREBEK”? Sure. Whatever. Just don’t be like this guy.

The correct response would be, The Natural. It’s all right. A lot of people wouldn’t know this. But…

The best part is the guy’s facial expression. “Uh…C…’Cocktail?’ Tom Cruise? Maybe?” I hope that Alex Trebek’s knee-jerk reaction was to rip off his lapel microphone and throw it at him.

Your blog is a great one. What really impresses me is that you are correctly mentioned that there are thousands of tools that are available to create a website or launch one but what matters is that you choose the right one, the one that gives you all that is actually needed.

Yes I believe the question was referrring athlete's with "fishy" type names, the clue was for Catfish Hunter and he answered Don Mattingly, I almost went thru the roof. How is this guy on Jeopardy, the freaking category at least tells you it's not Mattingly.

When you have sports blogging legend Michael Schur steering the ship and a cast that features the hilarious Aziz Ansari as well as Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones, I guess it’s hard to screw it up.

This is the same guy who answered "Don Mattingly" in a question about Yankee pitchers from the 70s, so...yeah, wasn't terribly surprised.

I especially found it interesting. For this matter, once I discussed with one of my friends, not only about the content you talked about, but also to how to improve and develop, but no results. So I am deeply moved by what you said today.

The experience is identical. Both sites win, as does any other random blog that connects to the content. They all share the same traffic. Unlike journalism, blogging is not competitive — its cooperative.

I remember seeing this and I agree, it was very funny. However, I haven't seen it since. Did it not "pass the test"? I'd definitely watch if I could find it (if it made it to a regular show)

So maybe these two incidents somehow reversed the black cat 1969 curse and the Bartman one as well? Or maybe there’s no such thing as curses as all. I’m going to go with the latter.
