“Jeopardy!” Fans Stumped by Ryan Seacrest Clue
A recent “Jeopardy!” clue about “Wheel of Fortune” host Ryan Seacrest left contestants and viewers scratching their heads.
The clue, under the category “Dropouts,” read: “It was Seacrest out of this state university in 1992; that didn’t stop Ryan from getting a hosting job or 2.” None of the contestants correctly answered “University of Georgia.”
The clue sparked debate online, with some fans deeming it “absurd” and questioning its relevance. One Reddit user commented, “How in the world is anyone supposed to know where Seacrest went?”
Others defended the clue, suggesting it was a nod to “Jeopardy!’ s sister show,” “Wheel of Fortune.”
Despite the confusion over the Seacrest clue, the game continued with a close competition between returning champion Jason Singer and challenger Scott Riccardi. Ultimately, Riccardi emerged victorious with a final score of $17,600 after Singer missed the Final Jeopardy!
question. While Riccardi took home the win, many viewers expressed their support for Singer online.
