Awkward title probably, but lemme explain:
The question is “This piece of French architecture was finished on January 26, 1887.” You know this is the Eiffel Tower. But when you buzz in and give the response, you say:
“Who is the Eiffel Tower?”
Would you be awarded the points for being correct, or docked the points for being incorrect since you didn’t say “WHAT is the Eiffel Tower?”
While hilarious, i can’t find a trace of that on a web search
I used to watch jeopardy on a daily basis in the late 90s, early 2000s. My wife’s mother loved watching the show every night and we even kept score with one another to make our own guesses. My wife’s mom was a really bright lady, well read and a great mind. She won in our group most nights.
I remember watching this episode and thought it was funny … I’ll have to search for it as well.
Don’t waste too much energy on it, it’s really not a big deal. I can totally believe that it happened but that it’s not something that would ever turn up on a websearch
