In a recent episode of Jeopardy!, contestants struggled with a clue about the Lord’s Prayer, which surprised many viewers. On June 13, host Mayim Bialik presented a $200 clue in the “Dadjectives” category: “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art In Heaven,’ This ‘Be Thy Name.’” The expected response, “hallowed,” was missed by all three contestants, causing a stir among the audience.
Social media buzzed with reactions, with some expressing disbelief over the contestants’ lack of knowledge and others finding humor in the situation. While Jeopardy! covers a wide array of topics and contestants hail from various backgrounds, the inability to answer such a familiar question was unexpected.
Despite this, contestants excelled in other areas. Suresh Krishnan identified John Travolta in the Final Jeopardy round, extending his winning streak. Jeopardy! continues to engage its audience with challenging questions, serving as a platform for learning.
