I know these contestants are well-cultured incredibly educated brilliant intellectuals who are some of the most knowledgable minds in their fields of expertise under the incalculable stress of a television taping but holy shit look at these f***ing idiots:

Before we get too far in blaming the contestants, let's remember that there are people who are of drinking age in the USA that were not born when Jesse Ventura was elected governor, much less when he was a full-time pro-wrestling personality. Then there's the fact that the host used "grappling" instead of the word "wrestling," a word choice that does less to signal to the contestants to think of wrestlers that were politicians.
Even the show's writers put this as the second hardest answer of the category, which confirms us as the outliers who knew this quickly, not the contestants.

I never really got in to Jeopardy mostly because I had no idea what any of the answers or questions where. It does surprise me that these folks who seemingly know everything and everything don't know the easy answers. We regular folk seem to get those questions correct but not the contestants. I guess people just spend all their lives studying the most obscure facts knowing it will eventually get them a spot and some fame on the show.

Not sure how clearly the contestants can see the photo but that jawline alone should've been sufficient.

I believe the current champion would’ve been born during Ventura’s term as governor. She’s only like 23 or 24 and she’s also Canadian. Understandable mistake |
