Even people smart enough to get on Jeopardy! sometimes have brain farts.
On last night's episode of the classic trivia show, the final Jeopardy! answer was supposed to be "McGruff The Crime Dog."
Unfortunately, none of the contestants were able to recall the classic character.
One of them got close, however, and ventured a guess in which he hilariously mangled McGruff's name.

Fortunately, the man who created "Ruff McGruffin" ended up winning the game anyway, and so will get a chance to return and redeem himself on the next episode.
