JEOPARDY! fans spotted a “bizarre champion pattern” on Friday and something – or someone – else.
While Ryan Long cruised to his 16th win, a “sexy” new player scored points with wide-eyed viewers.

Mayim, 46, is hosting Jeopardy! for the fourth week in a row, returning after alum Ken Jennings’ prior three weeks at the helm and announcement he’d be out for “months.”
The permanent hosting slot is still on the board and will be decided by the end of Season 38 in July 2022.
Tonight, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rideshare driver Ryan drove to his 16th win, already the ninth-longest streak on the show ever – with another $20K and $299K total.
But tonight, dozens of fans took a pit stop to lust over another contestant.
Over at the right podium, Wyatt Yankus – a Washington DC policy analyst – swept the looks category.
In a blue suit with and a buzz-worthy smile, fans simply could not stop saying he was attractive, even if he didn’t win the game.
“Ummm hello Wyatt #Jeopardy,” one Twitter user penned.
Another predicted, “So, methinks #Wyatt will be the next guy subjected to several thirst tweets #jeopardy.”

‘WHO IS: THAT?’
And indeed, just that happened – especially after the Q&A round, when the new player shared his personal life.
Wyatt explained that he was gay, and married his now-husband at Niagra Falls in Canada, a wash of lustful tweets ensuing.
“I love it when the hot guy on Jeopardy is gay. Hot. Nerdy. Gay. Ohhh yes. #jeopardy,” one fan wrote after Wyatt came out on syndicated TV.
“Haha ladies. Wyatt’s taken #jeopardy,” another wrote.
“Wyatt fulfilled his dream by saying the words ‘My Husband’ on Jeopardy,” tweeted one more.
