Jeopardy! has a long-standing tradition of awkward moments. Easy clues that are left unanswered by the contestants, causing the unmistakable sound of simultaneous eye rolls from viewers nationwide. Final clue answers that look like a preschool child trying to spell “supercalifragilisticexpialodocious” with crayon. Cringey attempts by hosts to use authentic accents with foreign words. But few things are as awkward as the contestant interview segment, where contestants recount “amusing” (yes, the quotation marks are intentional) anecdotes about themselves.
