DULUTH — Clue: This completely missed Final Jeopardy answer had people across Minnesota face-palming in disgust Monday.
Answer: What is Duluth?
None of the contestants on the long-running TV game show — a professor, a healthcare administrator and a writer — correctly answered the clue "At about 90,000, it's the most populous U.S. city on North America's biggest lake."
And social media was not having it.
"Such a gimme. When in doubt, always answer w #Duluth!" the city's mayor, Emily Larson, tweeted.
State Sen. Jen McEwen, DFL-Duluth, tweeted, "OMG we made Final Jeopardy! And ... the contestants all got it wrong. But, I am okay with our cool city being a hidden gem."
The Final Jeopardy category was "the Midwest," with the three contestants all hailing from either California or Florida, a fact noted by host Ken Jennings.
"We have players from both coasts on 'Jeopardy' today but no one from the Midwest. We'll see what happens."
