Twitter Reacts To Jeopardy! Contestants Not Knowing Who Jimmy Butler Was

On Tuesday’s episode of Jeopardy! contestants were speechless when asked by Ken Jennings if they could identify Jimmy Butler.

Since the competitors were stuck, Jennings gave them a hint: “Recently, this baller-barista launched Big Face Coffee and turned his new team, the Miami Heat, into a title contender.” When none of the contestants responded, he told them, “We were looking for Jimmy Butler.”

Even when they don’t play, it’s still a tough night for the Heat. No one got the clue for Jimmy Butler on Jeopardy tonight. 😳😂😕 #HEATTwitter pic.twitter.com/CuiEKj8Gw1
