Fans Compare ‘Jeopardy!’ And ‘Wheel Of Fortune’ Players After Similar Clue Stumps ‘Jeopardy!’ Contestants

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.

One person shared on social media that it was a “fail” that none of the Jeopardy! players knew who Nathan was. However, they added, “at least the Nathan puzzle was solved on ‘Wheel of Fortune.’”
