New York Post ^ | March 24, 2023 | Samantha Ibrahim

During Wednesday evening’s episode, contestant Karen Morris made a bad choice with her bet when it came to the final rounds of the trivia show — and she lost big time.

Morris was in the lead with earnings of $21,800, while the other players had scored $7,100 and $6,400. During the Double Jeopardy segment, Morris opted for a huge bet — $10,000 — in an attempt to emerge as the victor of the game.

“This artist the younger was working on yet another portrait of Henry VIII when he died in 1543,” host Ken Jennings said in giving her the clue, and the veterinary student, head shaking, struggled to come up with an answer before time ran out.

I never watch Jeopardy because Laura Ingraham is in that time slot.

Thanks I would have gotten it wrong because of spelling. Always was my worse subject in school.

Beau and I play ‘Jeopardy’ every day on a Page-A-Day calendar. I had a perfect week last week and bet it all. Came away with $10,500.00!

I’m still waiting for my check... ;)

Wonder if The Tutors were accurate in that final episode regarding Holbein. Was a very good series although his sexual escapades could have been toned down a notch or two.

If you have to work in and around DC it’s amazing who run into.

Thinking about the same. How many double digit IQ people were making fun of her?

Yeah wolf blitzer getting stomped by Andy Richter was about as humiliating as you can get.

Making a poor bet is not proof of dumb.

Dumbest Jeopardy players I have ever seen are when the program has the DC celebs on. The DC politicos are beyond embarrassingly stupid. And ignorant. Frightenly so.

It’s bizarre that she was singled out, but the reason they’re calling her dumb is that she had clinched the game, if only she didn’t make a big bet.

The funniest one was they showed a bleeding-heart flower and said “This is the name of a flower, and a disparging term for people on the left.” And the NPR hostess answered, “Pansies.”
