Alex Trebek Totally Roasted A Contestant Who Answered The Final 'Jeopardy!' Question With A Meme 😂

How far ahead do you have to be in Jeopardy! to get this cocky? Jeopardy! contestant Erik Agard decided more than four times the next player's score would be enough to throw away his question on a meme.

In the final-round on Monday night, the contestants were given the answer, "In a hint of the future, in 1973 Marjorie Post gave it to the U.S. Govt. as a warm-weather presidential retreat, but it was returned." It is unknown if Agard truly knew the answer, but his response made him a winner in the eyes of the internet anyway.

Despite the second place player, Joanna Rom, answering correctly, Agard still had a commanding lead. His answer of "What is you doing baby?" had the internet in stitches, referencing the classic meme.

Alec Trebek however was not having it. After struggling to read Agard's handwriting, he realized it was a joke answer and mocked Agard saying, "Well I'm responding incorrectly!"

It's hard to feel bad for the ribbing he received, when Agard still won over $14,000 that day, and the respect of the internet.













Agard's total winnings clock in at just over $40,000. That's a pretty good payout to live in meme infamy.

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
