Jeopardy! slammed by fans for 'convoluted' and 'poorly phrased' James Bond clue
Exasperated Jeopardy! fans have been left wringing their hands over the show yet again - this time over a 'poorly phrased' clue. During a Final Jeopardy round this week, host Ken Jennings introduced the category Movie Music, which gave rise to the controversial prompt. The item read: 'The last 2 best song Oscar winners whose titles were the same name as the movie they were in had this man in the leading role.' Many viewers around the country sat scratching their heads, but two of the contestants, engineer Scott Riccardi and lawyer Vince Carter, were on the ball. Both of them answered: 'Who is Daniel Craig?' correctly naming the star of the James Bond movies containing the songs in question, SkyFall and No Time to Die. Although two out of the three contestants figured out the clue, some fans still fired up their social media to complain about its 'convoluted' and 'confusing' wording. SkyFall, released in 2012, was Daniel Craig's third outing as 007 and featured an Academy Award-winning theme song performed by Adele. Adele penned the number with her longtime co-writer Paul Epworth, and the pair of them received the Oscar for best original song. Meanwhile the 2021 picture No Time to Die was Daniel's final James Bond movie, and in the four years since a successor has yet to be announced. Billie Eilish sang the theme song and co-wrote the number with her brother and frequent collaborator Finneas O'Connell, so they won the Academy Award together. After Jeopardy! broached the subject this week, some viewers headed to social media to express their dissatisfaction with the wording of the item. 'A very confusing clue,' one opined on X, formerly Twitter. 'It took me more than the "think music" time to even figure out what it said.' The same viewer said: 'I finally realized it wanted the name of the actor. Good thing there's a pause button! (I still didn't know the answer, though).' 'Who is James Bond? Kinda convoluted FJ but manageable,' another X user said, sharing a clip of the Final Jeopardy moment. Although two out of the three contestants figured out the clue, some fans still fired up their social media to complain about its 'convoluted' and 'confusing' wording 'I wasnt sure if they wanted Daniel Craig or James Bond,' one audience member confessed in the YouTube comments. 'The last 3 Bond themes have won the Oscar, but the Song from Spectre that won was called "Writing's on the Wall."' 'This was poorly phrased,' groused another. 'I assumed they were asking about the last 2 Best Song winners: 2024 and 2025. The strength of the comma!' The snafu comes after Ken, who was a contestant on Jeopardy! before replacing the latest Alex Trebek as the host, explained how well he is able to relate to current contenders who stumble over themselves on the air. 'Alex was a perfect host, but if there's one difference between us is I remember what it was like to be a contestant. My heart just goes out to these people,' he said in April. 'It's their first time on TV, and we throw them into this crucible. It's a high-pressure environment, so I'm always thinking, how can I make these people comfortable? Please, please get this right, somebody,' Ken told Fox News Digital. 'I'm 100% empathy out there for these three people.'
