Hoe Is By no means The Reply
Host Ken Jennings relived his well-known “hoe” second. On June 25, Micah Fritz, Kiley Campbell, and Greg Harris performed in opposition to one another. The primary clue of the sport learn, “A device with an angled blade to get undesirable vegetation out on the root known as a Cape Cod sort of this,” in “That is Not a Drill.”
Fritz buzzed in and stated, “What’s a hoe?” which was incorrect, dropping him to -$400. The opposite two contestants didn’t buzz in. The right response was, “What’s a weeder?”
After letting the silence fill the air, Jennings stated, “It looks like ‘What’s a hoe?’ is rarely appropriate out right here.” The contestants and viewers laughed.
Jennings first talked a couple of hoe throughout his reign in October 2004. In “Instrument Time” for $200, the clue was, “This time period for a long-handled gardening device may imply an immoral pleasure seeker.”
With $14,800 in his financial institution, he answered, “What’s a hoe?” Then-host Alex Trebek informed him “no” after which backtracked when he realized what he stated.
“Whoa! They train you that in class in Utah, huh?” Trebek stated. His opponent, Al, accurately answered with “rake.”

Zaheer responsed with “Who’s Cocaine Bear?” Host Ken Jennings and the viewers laughed as he stated, “No, I’m sorry.” Amodio rang in and answered, “What’s Pooh?”
“Sure, Winnie The Pooh is now within the public area,” Jennings stated. “Though I’m certain Cocaine Bear is having some loopy makeovers as properly.” Zaheer cringed and stated, “Uh oh!” All the viewers set free boisterous laughs.
Searching for a Sugar Daddy
One contestant had cash and… different issues on her thoughts. Throughout the season premiere, on September 9, 2024, Amanda White buzzed in on “This paternal title from a wealthy benefactor comes from Little Orphan Annie.” With -$200 in her financial institution, she hesitated earlier than saying, “What’s a Sugar Daddy?”
“No, I’m sorry,” Jennings stated.
Rachel Bradley buzzed in and answered accurately, “What’s Daddy Warbucks?”
“A bit of totally different from a Sugar Daddy,” the host joked.
Animal Lover?
Even Celeb Jeopardy! delivered the laughs. In “An App For Each Org,” the clue learn, “By defending animals, you earn rankings like ‘Lieutenant Llama’ & ‘Colonel Hen’ on the app for this org. based in 1980.”
Margaret Cho buzzed in with “What’s KFC?” and fun.
“No,” Jennings laughed again. “Sorry.”
Rachel Brosnahan then answered accurately with “What’s PETA?”
“KFC’s longtime antagonist, PETA, is appropriate,” Jennings stated.
“However, you impressed me, Margaret, so thanks,” Brosnahan stated.
