Twitter didn't have a wonderful feeling about three “Jeopardy!” contestants who don’t appear to know dance legend Gene Kelly.
Gamers Cris Pannullo, Rob Lamanna and Jeri Zulli failed to acknowledge the late “Singin’ within the Rain” star on Thursday’s episode of the quiz present.
Within the “Olivia Newton-John” class, contestants have been requested to determine the person pictured subsequent to the late “Grease” star. As a substitute, the brainiacs grew silent.
Newton-John, who died this yr of most cancers, and Kelly carried out within the ’80s musical “Xanadu.” The movie bombed on the field workplace — and did not make an enduring impression on the contestants.
This information aggravated a sure viewers on Twitter, which meant Gene Kelly headlined the trending matters for one night time solely.
“Unhappy: on “Jeopardy!” tonight, not one of the contestants knew who Gene Kelly was when proven a photograph of him. Guess I’m getting outdated,” one sighed.
“Generally, I’m simply perplexed… on #Jeopardy tonight, how may all 3 of the contestants NOT know Gene Kelly, the reply to the Olivia Newton-John class? Possibly I’m simply outdated or one thing,” one other echoed.
“The contestants on Jeopardy didn't know who Gene Kelly was. I'm astonished! Have they by no means seen “Singing within the Rain”?????” one other requested.
“Oh my god. To hell with the lot of you for not buzzing in for Gene Kelly. #jeopardy,” one indignant consumer fumed.
Kelly died Feb. 2, 1996, on the age of 83, after struggling strokes. “Captain America” star Chris Evans is rumored to be portraying him in a movie introduced earlier this yr.
In the meantime, the newly-fronted Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings present has weathered a number of eyebrow-raising blunders in current months. In June, a contestant wrongly recognized Public Enemy as Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch.
