Jeopardy Fail

Posted by Jon Henseler on

Is there anything more disheartening as a Jeopardy player than when anything with "Sports" in it comes up for final Jeopardy? I mean you could literally ask these kids anything pertaining to literature, history, geography, Lord of the Rings, whatever, but sports categories are going to end in a trainwreck 100 times out of 100. Like I'm fairly certain sports categories exist on Jeopardy for the explicit purpose of making people like me feel like we could actually compete on this show. Case in point is the guy who filmed this and put it on youtube. Guaranteed he couldn't answer a single question on this episode but as soon as he saw "Sports in America" as final Jeopardy he knew to get his camcorder fired up! I remember when Jeopardy first came out as a Dos game back in the day and I'd 'accidently' hit Esc whenever Sports wasn't a category in the initial round. Winning/still losing against the computer 101.

PS: While mini golf might be the worst final Jeopardy answer of all time, I think my man Kyle here is sneakily on to a new sport. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think he originally had 'hockey golf' written in before he went with 'mini golf.' A sport played with a puck on a frozen over golf course with a beer kart/snomobile? Yes please! If this isn't a part of the next Olympics I will be severly disappointed. Honestly if speed walking is considered an Olympic sport than hockey golf is a no brainer.

Double PS: Celebrity Jeopardy is by far the most entertaining SNL skit of the past two decades. Anyone who says otherwise is a terrorist plain and simple.
