Ken Jennings jokes about Rep. George Santos on ‘Jeopardy’

In the competition between past “Jeopardy!” champions, this $800 track came up in the Recent Events category: “Captions on an article about this New York rep: ‘He lied about where he went…to college’; ‘He Allegedly Scammed A Disabled Vet Whose Dog Was Dying’”.

“Who is Jorge Santos?” Mattea Roach answered correctly.

“I can’t say too much about this, but George Santos is right!” Jennings said.

If “Danger!” ever used a rimshot as a sound effect, that would have been the time.

Jennings recently came under fire for allegedly crossing the picket line of the writers’ strike to film “Jeopardy!” episodes as a replacement for co-host Mayim Bialik. Although the tracks for the show were written before the strike, the media reported that Bialik retired of their final recording assignments for the season in solidarity with the Writers Guild of America, which is on strike over wages and working conditions.
