Jeopardy! - 'I Lost on Jeopardy' (Mar. 15, 2018)

On April 27, 2012, a contestant lost on Jeopardy! partially because she could not recognize this line from "Weird Al" Yankovic's "I Lost on Jeopardy!"
Will March 2018 contestant Amy fare better with her luck on a similar clue?

Maybe she'll do better next weekend on the Price is Right

The song has actually been featured on Jeopardy at least 3 times since 1984, and she was the first to get it right

[bencalebrod]

They intentionally made that clue a Daily Double.

Genius for Jeopardy! for making that a Daily Double, but I started hyperventilating when she froze for a few seconds... That would have been awful had she missed that.

[JimmySand]

Thank god she got that. She'd never live it down if she didn't.

[kalvingoodlaxson]

She won't get a 20 volume set of Encyclopedia Britannica, a case of Turtle Wax, and a year supply of Rice-A-Roni (the San Francisco treat).

[floydjohnson]

Freakin' EPIC! Especially when you consider the Trebek-fronted "Jeopardy!" launched less than a year after Weird Al Yankovic's track.

[JOELDSDLR]

Well, she knew she was in trouble now
Her hopes of winning sank
Oh, 'cause she got the Daily Double now
And then her mind went blank

[OrangeSodaKing]

I always thought Jeopardy should use this song for a clue in a music category, didn't realize they actually did!

[Abelhawk]

It was one of those rare moments of universal convergence that was destined to happen.

[theodorechristian]

"and then she got, the daily double now, and then her mind went blank" in Weird Al's words

[lkgrave]

I wish Weird Al did a remake of I lost on Jeopardy when Alex was still alive. Hearing Alex rail on Al would have been hilarious.

[AwesomeGeekHQ]

Who the hell would thumbs down this awesome video

[GodsArtGallery]

“Well done, young Lady!” 😂 True That, Alex! Haha Alex always made me laugh. Rest In Peace, Alex Trebeck, You Legendary Man.

[julieporter]

At least she won't look like a jerk in front of millions of people and bring shame on her family's name for generations to come.

[williamhaggard]

Rest In Peace Alex Trebek you shall be missed not forgotten

[KevinJohnson-rcdw]

8 people lost on Jeopardy, baby
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.

[johntomlinson]

I am sitting in a waiting room and the "I want my M.T.V." came on.

[ladiekiler]

Question: Has anyone ever written down "I Lost on Jeopardy, baby" in Final Jeopardy?

[JohnSmith-qnob]

8 people didn't know the secret ingredient found in both cheese whiz and crazy glue
