In the case of Jeopardy!, followers have a eager ear and eye on what occurs throughout the sport present. And a few followers have observed that host Ken Jennings retains subtly repeating a well-known quote from Die Onerous.
“‘Double Jeopardy, the place the scores can actually change!’ Ken’s stated this a few instances. Is he quoting John McClane in Die Onerous?” a Reddit person requested. John McClane was the principle character within the 1988 movie, who was portrayed by Bruce Willis.
“100%,” stated one person.
“Sure,” wrote one other.
In Die Onerous, McClane referenced Jeopardy! when he stated to Hans Gruber (Alan Rickman), “Sorry, Hans, flawed guess. Would you wish to go for Double Jeopardy, the place the scores can actually change?”
One Reddit person stated that authentic host Artwork Fleming used to say the quote that Jennings does on a regular basis. “Die Onerous was quoting Artwork (or presumably Alex [Trebek], undecided if he used to say that again within the day). It might go one thing like this: ‘We’ll be proper again with Double Jeopardy!, the place the values are doubled and the scores can actually change. However first, do you could have hassle getting your flooring as vivid and clear as they’ll presumably be? Right here’s a product that might be the answer you’ve been in search of. Please watch, received’t you? Thanks.’” The second sentence was proper earlier than the present lower to business.
It’s not clear if Jennings is attempting to cite certainly one of his predecessors or Die Onerous itself. Nevertheless, the sport present started in 1964, 24 years earlier than the motion movie got here out, so the quote originated from Fleming.
“There’s no means we acknowledge that, and he doesn’t understand it,” one Reddit person stated.
Nevertheless, one fan stated, “Nah, I feel he’s simply spitting details.”
“It’s what he does,” replied one other fan.
“Generally Ken appears to be taking pity on a participant with little cash, and is attempting to present them hope that they’ll rally in Double Jeopardy. (repair spelling error),” one fan defined.
