Recently released Jeopardy! episode from October 9, 2024, contained an interesting question. With the former show host mentioned in it, it surely caught fans' attention.
The question was related to the game show's former host, Mayim Bialik, about The Big Bang Theory. Viewers must remember how Mayim left the show because of the strike and, later on, was fired.
The competition was between Mark Fitzpatrick, Robert Frankie, and Colleen Kelley. The contestants had to find out the correct name of the television show from the "TV Coupling" category. Kelley's answer, "What is 'The Big Bang Theory?'" was correct.
The show featuring Mayim Bialik in one of the vital roles of the show, The Big Bang Theory, has been quite a popular television show. Her role was that of a neuroscientist named Amy Fowler, who later became an essential part of the show.
Referring to the question, some of the Jeopardy! fans called it the "Post-Mayim era" and shared their thoughts on Reddit.
A Reddit user, IanGecko, mentioned,
"Always gets me when a Big Bang Theory clue comes up in the post-Mayim era."
Another Reddit user, Labenyofi, replied,
"In a few years, they should do a category when the answers are just all Jeopardy hosts, from Art Fleming, to Mayim Bialik, even George Stephanopoulos."
One more Reddit user, papajohns40days, wrote,
"A Final jeopardy where you have to discern between two synonymous james fenimore cooper titles is pretty dang hard."
To that, there was a reply from Finn_Mc_Cool, which mentioned,
"Yes, and my guess was "Hawkeye" which is another nickname for James Fenimore Cooper's Natty Bumppo character. That clue needed another hint."
There were some other Jeopardy! fans who mentioned clues to several different questions. A Reddit user -JDB-, mentioned
"Almost laughed at Ken for acting like Jimmy Carter was already dead until I realized he wasnt the 41st president."
There was a reply from xTPGx,
"I thought the SAME exact thing!!!! Jimmy just turned 100 too!"
One more Reddit user, david-saint-hubbins, shared,
"I've been waiting for a Jimmy Carter category all week for precisely that reason. But I wonder if they decided not to do it in case he ended up dying between taping and air."
The same discussion board also mentioned a comment from JeevesBun, who wrote,
"As a total aside, Ken saying that the place where Robert lives is the curling capital of the world is gonna make SO many Canadians bristle. XD."
JeevesBun wrote,
"Oh it's all good, Robert didn't suggest it at all. Ken just light-heartedly made that comment after what Robert said (which as you stated, was about his local area having multiple curling clubs in relative proximity)."
