Fans criticize Jeopardy! contestants for missing Cheers clue

Fans of "Jeopardy!" expressed their frustration after all three contestants failed to answer a clue about the classic TV show “Cheers.” The clue appeared during the “Final Jeopardy!” round, leaving viewers shocked. The category was “Classic TV Shows.” The prompt stated that a notice reading “Maximum Room Capacity 75 Persons” was posted over the door of the show's setting. Contestant Lily St. Laurent answered, “What is a TV show I don’t know?” David DeBacker and Alex DeFrank both guessed “M*A*S*H.” Host Ken Jennings eventually revealed the correct answer was “Cheers.” Despite the contestants’ struggles, many fans felt the clue was straightforward. Comments on social media highlighted their disbelief that all players missed it. One Reddit user wrote they were “flabbergasted” by the missed clue. Another viewer, who had never seen the show, quickly recognized the answer as obvious. This isn't the first time contestants struggled with pop culture questions on "Jeopardy!" Earlier this year, one player left the stage after failing to identify a clue related to Céline Dion. Jennings joked about the moment when no contestants answered correctly. With its challenging questions, "Jeopardy!" continues to spark discussions among fans.
