‘Jeopardy’ contestant got this Public Enemy question wrong— and Twitter erupted

nypost.com:

not even close?“Jeopardy” contestant Halley Ryherd faced the wrath of Twitter Wednesday night when she mixed up popular throwback hip-hop groups.During the “Chuck D, Times 3” category of gameplay — which included prompts about Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens, as well as rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy — current host Mayim Bialik read the following clue:“In the 1990s, Chuck D began fighting the power in this hip-hop group with Flavor Flav, a man who always knew what time it was,”Ryherd, an attorney, quickly buzzed in, hesitantly answering, “What is the Funky Bunch?,” referring to Marky Mark’s — or Mark Wahlberg’s — hip-hop group.

Remember, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch sing 1991’s “Good Vibrations” while Public Enemy is known for 1988’s “Fight The Power.”The incorrect response cost Ryherd $600 — and a whole lot of scolding on social media.

Everybody don’t know everything… it’s why I introduce myself wherever I go and whoever I talk to … it’s just courtesy. But the sad thing is not knowing those other Chuck Ds pic.twitter.com/gxLnyVmxCp“Watching Jeopardy tonight with my Mom, and a category about Chuck D came up,” one user shared. “The question came up about what group Chuck D was in, and one lady answered the Funky Bunch, and Mom looked at me and said Public Enemy, and I said thank you for being my Mom, lol.”“Thanks to @Jeopardy you can now do a @Twitter search for “Chuck D and the Funky Bunch” and find countless posts that will leave you laughing in hysterics,” another quipped. “This person on #Jeopardy just thought Chuck D was in the funky bunch.

She should get credit for being the most wrong she could possibly be,” another wrote. “Today is the day the music died,” another stated.
