"A group of pill pushers" is one of the greatest answers I have ever heard!

The Jeopardy... "Long handled garden tool" and "immoral pleasure seeker," ... Like... whoever wrote that answer knew what they were doing.

If Ken Jennings thought it was right, it must have been right.
Lmfao
The pill pushers one is also one of my all time Favorites. Pat's reaction is amazing lol.
And that garden tool Jeopardy question was bait. Lol

Ken Jennings was up by a ton at that point. I don't think he minded.
I think my favorite is the Turkey Turkey Turkey guy on the British version of Family Feud.
You can get these wrong just for not knowing the correct pronunciation? What if this came up and the solver was French?
Edit: I only know that's a thing because I read Ender's Game as a kid but I feel like just fumbling a pronunciation shouldn't be grounds for failure.
I'm not sure that has ever been a concern for the people who filter out contestants for US game shows.

Yeah gotta solve it by saying it properly. And Its possible accents could create an issue theoretically. See here:
Oh come on, mispronouncing the finished phrase means fail? I do not approve
Now see, the ones where they mispronounce Ripa read like the host is just fellating himself looking down on some dudes who aren't saying it the right way.
Like over half my office would fail because they speak with an accent. Or anyone with a stutter.
I miss when stupid game show answers came about naturally and not because of obvious setup questions.
"Group of Well Wishers"
It's hilarious either way in the context of "college week."
Those are the rules, I don't think he's fellating himself. I think the dudes were just confused and had to solve it to the end. The first guy said "Philbrin" - since the puzzle isn't fully solved that can't be accepted as the right answer. It was all downhill from there, because I think those dudes didn't understand what the issue was with the first pronunciation, and tried to keep changing it lol.
