Historian Michael Harriot slammed “Jeopardy!” contestants Friday over their apparent lack of knowledge regarding Black History.
Not inspired by a single incident, but a recollection of many erroneous “Jeopardy!” moments over time — Harriot took to Twitter to imagine a moment from the show where the host asked a contestant about a random piece of trivia and the player’s response.
“Jeopardy be like: Host: The 2nd Earl of Winchester wrote this 1887 symphony about the tributary to the 42nd-largest river in Obscuristan,” tweeted the historian. “Contestant: What is ‘Aksjducpïsudintal in A Minor?’ I’ll take History for $100.”
