“Jeopardy!” fans on Long Island were shocked to see an incorrect Nassau County village’s name listed in a question during last Friday’s episode, sparking outrage from a local legislator, Long Island Press reported.The question read: “Type of institution that has a ‘row’ in Garden City on Long Island, including one about firefighting and a children’s one,” prompting the undisputed answer of “museum.”But the referred-to row — consisting of the Long Island Children’s Museum, Cradle of Aviation Museum and Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center — is actually located a smidgen east of Garden City in the hamlet Uniondale.And Nassau County legislator Siela Bynoe of nearby Uniondale and surrounding areas is making sure that the show — along with its viewers — won’t forget it.

Sometimes it seems like society put you in a box, and you are classified as a certain thing with a certain destiny, even though you may feel different person could really break out of that box,” he continued. So many feelings…I’m going to try and keep this short, but I’ll probably fail.

And what I learned from the experience, really, is that it reinforced my belief that everything happens for a reason, even if you cannot discern the reason in the moment,” Burton explained to host Christian Bryant.While Burton desperately wanted to be the ultimate face of the trivia show, he was at least able to guest-host an episode in 2021.“In the fullness of time, everything will be revealed.

co-host of the syndicated quiz show along with show champ Ken Jennings, who turns 48 on May 23.“It’s incredible to be surrounded by the writers and researchers who work to create ‘Jeopardy!'” she told The Post at the Fox Upfront in New York. “And, yes, to work with contestants and people who know a tremendous, vast variety of information, it’s incredible.”One thing the former child star doesn’t really love is the attention focused on her wardrobe and appearance — and wishes she could pare it down.“Most men wear suits when they go there, so yeah,” she opined. “The fact is we don’t live in a culture where I can wear a gray suit and then a blue suit, but maybe next year we’ll see.

The Wrap on Tuesday that a host has yet to be announced and “we’ll have details soon.”However, Erwich seemingly alluded to who will be the host in an interview with Variety, which asked if frequent “Jeopardy!” host Mayim Bialik is the frontrunner to emcee the spinoff.“It’s really just about the details of the announcement,” he said. “And we just are not ready yet, but we will be soon.

ending her 23-game winning streak, Jennings congratulated the Canadian native on her past victories and also revealed that Roach’s last game was also the end of his hosting for the time being.The 47-year-old divulged that Mayim Bialik would be taking over as host, which seemed to upset Twitter users.“Congratulations to Mattea Roach on a truly iconic @Jeopardy streak. I believe she’s one of only three champs in history ever to ‘shoot their age’: 23 years old, 23 wins,” Jennings tweeted earlier this week.“I’m handing the keys back to the talented actor-producer-writer-director (!) @missmayim for a few months.

in the spirit of the upcoming Kentucky Derby, the bewildered Roach guessed, “Who are Churchill and Downs? idk.” She wagered and lost $3,601 whereas challenger Danielle Maurer — a digital marketing manager and Georgia resident — answered correctly.Maurer had only $11,400 heading into Final Jeopardy and bet $4,200 to nab the win by a score of $15,600 vs. Roach’s $15,599.“Obviously I didn’t come through in the last one, but I still feel so happy and so lucky to have had this experience,” Roach said.But her run on the game show has left Roach in an extremely elite category, only being surpassed by “Jeopardy!” legends Ken Jennings, recent phenoms Amy Schneider and Matt Amodio, along with James Holzhauer for both money and games won.“When I think of the caliber of those four players, I really don’t feel like I deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as them to be honest,” Roach added.

couldn’t figure out the seemingly simple phrase “renting a pedal boat.”The letters T, E and L were missing, and the first contestant asked if the answer was “renting a paddleboat.”However, that was too many letters and once the T and E were added, the puzzle on the bright green screen read, “renting a peda_ boat.”The contestants wondered if the answer was “pedam” or “pedaw.”Finally, after five guesses, the correct word was indeed “pedal.”As fans rolled their eyes behind their phone screens, they tweeted their musings as they watched last night’s game show.“Another cringe-worthy night on #WheelOfFortune!,” one viewer wrote. “Where do they find these people to play Wheel of Fortune?” Barstool Sports inquired.Another said, “What is with #WheelOfFortune lately?? Again!!” A fan added, “What is in the water(s) over at Wheel of Fortune?”Another snafu occurred on Tuesday evening’s game when contestant Chris Bryant lost the puzzle containing the song lyric to the Eurythmics song “Sweet Dreams.”“Sweet dreams are made of this” was the right answer.

“Wheel of Fortune” episode where he and fellow players, Thomas Lipscomb and Laura Machado, caused a ruckus when none guessed the correct answer to the puzzle: “Another feather in your cap.”Coleman spoke out on Thursday about feeling ridiculed, telling TMZ about the widespread animosity he felt following the episode’s airing.“This idiom [‘Another feather in your cap,’] is something I learned when I was six or seven years old. But I haven’t heard it in over 30 years and so it has been a while for me,” he began.“You are also under a lot of scrutiny and pressure when you’re in production,” Coleman said of being on the “Fortune” set.

took to Twitter on Wednesday to share a lengthy thread in which he called on viewers to “have a little heart.”“It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry,” Sajak stated. “Last night’s ‘Feather in your cap’ puzzle was a case in point. Sitting at home, it seems incredible that they couldn’t solve it, but I knew in real time what was happening,” the veteran host explained, claiming the contestants were “flailing” due to the pressures of being on TV.
