If you happened to watch Jeopardy! in June of 2022, you may have seen a pretty hilarious blunder by one of the contestants.
A participant named Mazin Omer, having requested the $400 slot from a category called “Knight After Knight,” was shown a photo of the actor Michael Caine and given the following prompt: “To honor his father, this star here was knighted in his birth name, so he’s Sir Maurice Micklewhite.”
But Omer did not name Caine. His answer came: “Who is Mick Jagger?” Hey, at least he tried.
