Most HILARIOUS wrong answer ever on ‘Jeopardy’! Name for ‘people on political left’

A contestant on the popular game show “Jeopardy” was asked Friday to name a flower pictured that shares a disparaging name with “people on the political left.”

Her answer proved to be incorrect, but some will argue that it was the most hilarious answer ever on a show that first aired on March 30, 1964.

Well, you’ll have to argue with my mom .. she swore it was part of the cacti family.

Sorry.

The dems were not named after a beautiful flower. Poor things, they just happens to share the same name.

I was watching and thought the answer was “Pinkos” to tell the truth.

[Kenny500c]

I mean the question, of course.

I didn’t know there was a flower called a bleeding heart.

We had Bleeding Hearts in my back yard when growing up. I understand there was a picture ... the flower looks JUST LIKE a bleeding heart. Still, it would have been worth the loss to say pansy! ( says I who had nothing at stake)

Bleeding heart,

Japanese bleeding heart [Credit: Grant Heilman/EB Inc.] any of several species of Dicentra, a genus of herbaceous flowering plants of the poppy family (Papaveraceae). The old garden favourite is the Japanese D. spectabilis, widespread for its small rosy-red and white, heart-shaped flowers dangling from arching stems about 60 centimetres (2 feet) tall. There is also a white form, D. spectabilis alba. The deeply cut leaf segments are larger than those of other cultivated species of Dicentra, such as the shorter eastern, or wild, bleeding heart (D. eximia), which produces sprays of small pink flowers from April to September in the Allegheny mountain region of eastern North America. The Pacific, or western, bleeding heart (D. formosa) of mountain woods, which ranges from California to British Columbia, has several varieties of garden interest.

ROFL!

Saw it live. The answer was something like ‘a somewhat disparaging name given to Liberals’ and they showed a picture of the flower. My husband recognized it, I didn’t. But Alex could hardly contain his laughter when calling on the lady who wrote ‘pansy’. Great moment in Jeopardy.

I’d never seen them before.

The flowers in my yard are whatever the birds plant!

Love your articulation. Straight to the point and complete.

[MinuteGal]

A flower whose name applies to the political left?

Colitis.....oops, coleus...sorry.

I didn’t know there was a “bleeding heart” flower.

It's a perennial that puts out rows of hanging, little, heart-shaped pink flowers. I have several of them on my property.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Good one!

DANG!

She, also, had nothing at stake. It was a runaway for first, and the other guy had no money at the end of the double jeopardy round, so she was guaranteed second place.

Final Jeopardy showed a picture of a Bleeding Heart flower. The answer was to name the picture, the name of which is also a euphemism for a liberal. The contestant answered “What is a pansy” which I think would have been correct but didn't match the picture.

Bleeding Heart. I had to watch the video.

Thanks. The only plants I could think of were "pinks" or "stinkweed."
