‘Jeopardy!’ contestants stumped by answer about former KC Royals star Bo Jackson
Bo knew all sports, but the contestants on Wednesday’s episode of “Jeopardy!” clearly didn’t know Bo.
Former Royals outfielder Bo Jackson, that is.
One of the “Jeopardy!” categories Wednesday was multi-sport athletes, and contestant Candace Orsetti picked it for $800.
Here is the answer from host Mayim Bialik: “A few career highlights: He won the Heisman at Auburn, ran for 221 yards in one game for the Raiders and was an American League All-Star.”
Orsetti, Jackie Kelly and Joey Lavarias didn’t even offer up a guess.
It seems pretty obvious the contestants simply were thrown because there was no mention of the Kansas City Royals, right?
Or maybe the game’s answer should have included Jackson winning the MVP award at the 1989 All-Star Game.
