Avid Jeopardy! fans know that quickly providing the correct answer to a clue can be challenging sometimes from the comfort of your couch and surely assume the pressure is 100 times worse when you’re actually playing the game show. The people on the show are filled with a wealth of knowledge, but they don’t know everything.
So sometimes we can’t help but chuckle when contestants struggle with some clues or categories, especially when it comes to sports.
And Friday’s episode of Jeopardy! provided the latest example of all three contestants being totally stumped by a pretty easy question.
In the opening round of the episode, one of the categories was Meet Me in St. Louis, as J-Archive noted. The $200 question, which is supposed to be the easiest of the category, was the last clue left on the board, and every player missed it. The clue was:
Major League Baseball’s Cardinals play their home games at this sudsy arena
Bryan rang in first and said, “What is Budweiser?” before Erin chimed in with: “What is Anheuser?” The third contestant, Rachel, didn’t guess, so no one had Busch Stadium, which was the correct response.
Jeopardy! had a St. Louis category today…

As host Ken Jennings joked, not a lot of baseball fans in this Jeopardy! episode.
