Her identify ain’t Ariana. It’s Miss Jackson, when you’re on ‘Jeopardy!’
A contestant on the weeknightly recreation present riled followers of each pop queens when he incorrectly answered a query on Wednesday night time that included a reside clip from the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
Contestant Alwin Hui, of Washington DC, thought he had a clue when Trebek learn, “Because the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award, she took ‘management’ & took to the stage in her first reside TV efficiency in practically a decade.”
Then Trebek performed a phase of the awards ceremony — with Janet Jackson reprising her legendary “Management” choreography 32 years after the tune’s launch.
However Alwin didn’t keep in mind that. As an alternative, he requested, “Who's Ariana Grande?,” in a clip that’s now out there on the present’s YouTube channel.
Trebek replied merely “no,” then contestant Sarah Jett Rayburn chimed in: “Who's Janet Jackson?”
The egregious popular culture gaffe left present viewers shocked and bewildered by Alwin’s ignorance.
“I simply watched a man named Alwin on Jeopardy! name Janet Jackson Ariana Grande. What world IS THIS?!?!? #Jeopardy,” requested one fan on Twitter.
“Completely unforgivable lmfao,” added one other, full with a Twitter video clip of muffled laughter.
For her half, Sarah, the apparent favourite, took residence the large prize that night time, plus two nights prior and once more Thursday night time, bringing her whole as much as $89,300. Her closing recreation will air tonight earlier than the present takes a manufacturing hiatus throughout the coronavirus pandemic.

It reveals the beloved gameshow host calling one participant, Susan Cole, a “loser” after confessing her love for “nerd-core hip-hoo.”
Trebek stated the style was for “losers, in different phrases.”
Cole finally took residence over $67,000 after a 3 recreation streak.
