JEOPARDY! fans were shocked by a player’s “disgraceful exercise outfit” on Tuesday.
Some even joked contestant Joe “ran” to the Mayim Bialik-hosted game.
Mayim, 46, is hosting Jeopardy! for the seventh straight week after Ken Jennings’ earlier stretch and his announcement he’d be out for “months.”
The permanent hosting decision, however, is still on the board and is said to be sealed by the end of Season 38 in July 2022.
Tonight, Joe Feldman – a technology worker from Maryland – was bested after two wins by Pete Chattrabhuti, a Washington D.C. attorney.
But Joe’s outfit may just go down in Jeopardy! history regardless.

‘WHAT IS: HE WEARING?’
Joe, at the left podium, wore a form-fitting quarter-zip neon-patterned pullover.
And he had Jeopardy! Twitter fuming he was unfit to play in his simply wild fitness-evoking wardrobe choice.
“Casual Joe,” one fan posted as another echoed, “Casual Tuesday.”
A third wrote, “Ooh no. Clothing is usually irrelevant but a yoga shell suit won’t do.”

A fourth wrote, “Joe came straight from a bike race.”
While a fifth spun up, “Why does joe look like he has jeopardy at 7 and the tour de france at 7:30?”
Another similarly joked, “I’m pretty sure Joe ran to the Jeopardy studio the day this episode was filmed.”
And yet another fumed, “Whatever the hell Joe is wearing is a disgrace to Jeopardy. Surprised his bike helmet isn’t on the podium.”
One more raced in, “When you’re teaching P.E. at 2 but competing on Jeopardy at 7.”
