Fans were comparing game shows Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune recently when both shows had a similar clue. On a recent Jeopardy! episode, co-host Mayim Bialik showed a photo of an Olympic skater and said, “He took gold with a powerhouse free skate at the 2022 Winter Olympics.”
None of the contestants even guessed the answer and all let the buzzer run out. Mayim said, surprised, “That is Nathan Chen, an absolutely unbelievable athlete.” Many fans were shocked that none of the contestants knew the answer, especially since Wheel of Fortune contestants recently got it right.
