During tonight’s episode of Jeopardy!, the contestants were shown an image of Michael Caine showing off his medal after receiving a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.
Host Mayim Bialik gave the clue: “To honor his father, this star here was knighted in his birth name, so he’s Sir Maurice Micklewhite.”
Student Mazin incorrectly guessed: “Who is Mick Jagger?”
Jeopardy! viewers could not believe that he had mixed up The Italian Job star, 89, with the Rolling Stone, 78.
On Twitter, one wrote: “That has got to be the WORST guess ever!”
Another agreed: “The Michael Caine/Mick Jagger response will live on as a historic bad answer.”
One viewer sarcastically called the guess “truly amazing”, adding “I wish I had this lack of knowledge.”
Another tried to show more sympathy for Mazin, writing “I’m sure he knows a million things that I don’t, but man, I wasn’t ready for that.”
