Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings issues on-air apology to female contestant over ‘problematic’ clue

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings was quick to apologize to a female contestant for a sexist clue featured on the show’s latest episode.

During Monday’s (October 28) edition of NBC’s long-running quiz show, Jennings read a clue from the category “Complete the Rhyming Phrase.”

The current edition airing weeknights – that modern viewers are familiar with – premiered in 1984, with Trebek as host.
