Jeopardy! recently surprised viewers when contestants struggled with a seemingly simple clue about the Lord’s Prayer. On June 13, host Mayim Bialik presented a $200 clue in the “Dadjectives” category: “Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art In Heaven,’ This ‘Be Thy Name.’” The correct response was “hallowed,” but all three contestants missed it, leading to surprised reactions, particularly among Christian viewers.

Social media buzzed with responses—some expressed disbelief at the lack of religious knowledge, while others found humor, sharing stories of children who would have known the answer.

Although Jeopardy! regularly features Bible-related clues and attracts contestants from diverse backgrounds, this moment stood out. However, the contestants redeemed themselves in other categories. In the Final Jeopardy round, Suresh Krishnan correctly named John Travolta as the star of Grease and Saturday Night Fever, securing his sixth win.

Jeopardy! continues to challenge contestants with a broad range of topics, reminding viewers that even the most knowledgeable can have moments of uncertainty.
