On the June 13 Jeopardy! episode, a simple clue in the “Dadjectives” category referencing the Lord’s Prayer—”Our Father Which Art In Heaven’s, Be Thy Name”—left viewers stunned when no contestant answered with “hallowed.” The moment went viral,
sparking debates on religious literacy and cultural awareness. Some questioned the contestants’ knowledge of Christian references, while others noted that Jeopardy! participants come from diverse backgrounds and may not be familiar with the prayer.Despite the error, contestants performed better with a pop culture question about John Travolta’s films, highlighting the pressures and challenges of the game.
