One of the categories in Tuesday’s episode of “Jeopardy!” was the unusual “American Bodies Mostly of Water,” but the $400 clue* proved to be a curveball for the contestants.

*Which is the easiest in Double Jeopardy

Jackie Rogoff, Matt Massie and John Reiss couldn’t come up with the question to go with this answer: “This quarterback with three Super Bowl rings in the 2020s hasn’t been shy about his ‘dad bod.’”

Chiefs fans will instantly know that’s quarterback Patrick Mahomes. In addition to helping the Chiefs win Super Bowls LIV, LVII and LVIII, his physique has been the subject of multiple stories.

But Rogoff thought it was former Patriots/Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady, while Massie and Reiss didn’t hazard a guess, which is probably a good thing.

Host Ken Jennings quipped: “Football fans, I see.”

Clips of the game-show moment were shared on TikTok.
