Ironic Cheers Mention on Jeopardy! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Tonight's final Jeopardy category was Classic TV Shows, and the correct answer was Cheers. Not one person got it correct, however one young woman put as her guess, "What is a show I've never heard of?"

I found it somewhat hilarious that someone who's never heard of Cliff Clavin managed to give that answer.

She of course wrote that before the answer was revealed but we never did find out afterwards if in fact she had heard of Cheers.

Here’s what Lily had to say on Reddit….

>>>Hello, all! I’m Lily and it was such a delight to have been able to appear on the show (though I wish I would’ve done better!) That darn buzzer got me! Alex and David were two incredibly formidable opponents. It was a pleasure to have been able to share the Alex Trebek stage with them.

Pop culture is probably my strongest forte, so when Classic TV Shows appeared as the category, I assumed I had it in the bag. My mind blanked when the clue appeared and, although I’ve watched four or five seasons of Cheers , I couldn’t come up with the answer. I want to offer my sincerest apologies to Ted Danson, Shelley Long, and-most importantly- Cliff Clavin.

Honestly, hanging out in the green room with my fellow contestants before and during the taping (along with the practice games we played) was my favorite part of the day. I cannot overstate how witty, kind, and smart (!!!) everyone in that room was, and how meaningful it was for me to have an opportunity to interact with such a supremely cool group of people.

Finally, I want to extend my deepest thanks to the lovely Jeopardy! crew. I could talk all day about how gracious, thoughtful, and hardworking they all are, but, alas, I have some TV I need to catch up on.<<<
