JEOPARDY! fans buzzed over returning champion Ryan Long who nabbed his fifth win Thursday.
But not before an NSFW moment with host Mayim Bialik that many could not believe.
Mayim, 46, is hosting Jeopardy! for a second week in a row, returning after Ken Jennings’ prior three weeks at the helm and announcement he’d be out for “months.”
The permanent hosting slot, however, is still on the board and will be decided by the end of Season 38 in July 2022.
Tonight, now-FIVE-day champ Ryan, a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania rideshare driver, drove his way to November’s Tournament of Champions with Mattea Roach and Amy Schneider – winning $105K.
But not before an NSFW moment many said “threw them off for a few minutes.”
Last night, the Philly figure shared he worked on an “Amish farm” in high school, then noting, “People are gonna think I’m weird with all these stories.”
And the night before, the broad-shouldered bet-maker shared he once fostered “four baby kittens” and “bottle-fed them” before his mom adopted them.
And during the Q&A before that, the contestant pumped out an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression.
“Ryan’s stories make me <3 him even more,” one fan applauded.

Ryan has also been keeping it real on his Twitter, sharing that he forgot his glasses in Philly.
“In case anybody’s wondering why I’m constantly squinting and adjusting during the game…it’s because my glasses are 3000 miles away, where they will do the most good,” he posted this week.
He also shared in another tweet that he only brought “two shirts” to Culver City, and added a “huge shout out to the wardrobe department,” in a third tweet, hinting there could be more to come.
“Ride share driver! Making it all even better,” wrote a fan on his overall reliability.
