The video showed contestant Torrey DeVitto, a TV actress and model, pick the category "The Fifty States" for $300.

"In 'Field of Dreams' a question is asked, 'Is this heaven?' - No, it's this midwestern state also known as 'the corn state,'" read host Mayim Bialik.

DeVitto guessed Wisconsin and was shot down.

Comedian Patton Oswalt, a third contestant who is considerably older than the other two, also bizarrely had no idea, but wisely kept silent until the beep.

The answer?

Here's the video of the clue that was circulated on social media:

I recall the movie, and the line, because it would be really nice to play catch with my dad, again...

It would be the opposite for me. I’m more knowledgeable about the old stuff.

They did an game with news casters a few years ago. Wolf Blitzer is a complete idiot. I was almost embarrassed for him but I was laughing too hard.

Maybe it’s in YouTube, it’s worth a look.

I recall when Laura Ingraham only had a radio show and she was interviewing some lib bitch — a Code Pink person, I think. Laura mentioned “America’s heartland”. Woman ask, “What’s that?” Laura: “You don’t know what the heartland is?” Nope; she was clueless.
