The beloved game show, Jeopardy!, shocked audiences with a question that seemingly alluded to the current Ukraine war … weeks before the conflict began.
The episode was recorded on Jan. 11, 2022, more than a month before Vladimir Putin invaded Ukraine on February 24th.
Host Ken Jennings presented the $800 clue in the “Bordering Russia” category, which stated, “The Kerch Strait — along with serious border issues — separates Russia from this country on the Black Sea.”
The long-running game show attempted to get ahead of any possible backlash about the segment by warning viewers in a tweet earlier in the day.
“Please note the clue in today’s show concerning Russia and Ukraine was recorded on Jan. 11, 2022,” the tweet said.
What is the clue?
