Fans blast contestants over incorrect facts, from Obama to The Bronx
This wasn’t the only recent Jeopardy! gaff. Another contestant correctly guessed that Barack Obama was the 38th president, not the 44th.
“When the #Jeopardy contestants think Barack Obama was the 38th president and think 90 RPM records were once a thing, I’m like, ‘Hey, I should be on Jeopardy,’ conveniently ignoring the dozens of responses I got wrong,” one person joked.
Another Tweet, “Imagine trying to get on #Jeopardy for years to see someone on the show call Obama the 38th president.” The wrong answers didn’t stop there, though. The game show’s fans were also puzzled by the fact that none of the contestants could recall that the Bronx was one of five boroughs that makes up New York City.
“It’s official y’all. The Bronx is no longer a borough,”Someone laughed. “#Jeopardy has spoken!” Another fumed, “how the f*ck do 3 jeopardy contestants not come up with the correct response for the final clue in ‘which new york city borough?’ 4 were already given for the first 4 in that category, so 1 remains…do these people even watch the f*cking show? of course it was the bronx”
