returning champion James Holzhauer had a rather flirty exchange Friday during the “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament.The saucy nerd banter between the two men occurred after contestant Matt Amodio chose a question under the “Authors” category.“The Detroit Free Press said ‘The Mummy’ was ‘vintage’ this novelist; ‘elegantly erotic & full of enchanting terror,’” read the clue.Amodio buzzed in with the answer “What’s Stoker.”Jennings, 48, declared that the answer was incorrect and after the two players failed to chime in, revealed the answer to be “Anne Rice.”“I also refer to James as ‘elegantly erotic but full of enchanting terror,’” the 48-year-old host said.Holzhauer, 38, retorted to the quip, saying: “Keep it in your pants, Ken.”The rather flirtatious exchange caused Mattea Roach — another returning champ — to cover her mouth as she started laughing out loud.But Holzhauer — who came in second to Jennings in the highest winnings during regular-season play — wouldn’t let the remark die.“We actually had to pause taping so Ken could take a cold shower,” tweeted Holzhauer later that day with a clip of the exchange.The Post reached out to Jennings and Holzhauer for comment.Fans of the game show were divided about how they felt about the spicy exchange.
