Bad Ukrainean Timing on Jeopardy
Posted: Sun Mar 06, 2022 9:59 am
On Friday's show, Jeopardy found itself the victim of a clue that was not that controversial when the show taped but was definitely in poor taste now. The category was "Bordering Russia" and one clue read: "The Kerch Strait — along with serious border issues — separates Russia from this country on the Black Sea." The answer of course is Ukraine.
The show sent out a tweet before the broadcast informing followers that this particular episode was taped on January 11, and when the actual clue was given, a notice about the taping date appeared on the corner of the screen.
I don't have a clip of just that clue, but in this episode replay, the clue occurs just before the 13:00 mark.
