When Ken, now 49, was on the game show as a contestant, he usually gave the right answer.
However, during a program 16 years ago, he gave an answer that could be considered NSFW.
Ken chose the “Tool Time” category for $200.
Host Alex read the question – “This term for a long-handed gardening tool can also mean an immoral pleasure seeker.”

Ken responded with “hoe,” which he was told was wrong.
Your danger! opponent, Al, responded with “rake”, which was correct.
The audience and Ken laughed at his response.
Alex wondered if he learned this at school in Utah before moving on to the next question.
‘MADE MORE SENSE’
Fans thought Ken’s answer made more sense and was correct after Jeopardy’s Instagram page republished the moment on Friday.
The page posted the meme “Why are you so quiet? with the video clip inside the person’s brain.
“Honestly, I think Ken’s answer made the most sense. I’ve never heard of a rake being used for this meaning.
“Ken knew what he was doing,” said another.
“But Ken wasn’t wrong,” added a third.
“They still owe my son Ken money for this answer,” said one Jeopardy! fan.
Danger! guest hosts
Since Jeopardy! host Alex Trebek died in November 2020, the beloved game show has continued with several guest hosts in 2021 to the present day:
“He wasn’t wrong,” reiterated one fan.
“This response was so unbalanced but I loved it,” said one Instagram user.
“Ken was right and I’m willing to fight for it,” wrote one final fan.
WHAT IS TMI?
This isn’t the first time Ken has made an NSFW joke surrounding Jeopardy!
As presenter, he made a cheeky comment about the Disney film Bambie.
In June 2023, Ken jumped to X with a tweet that shocked his followers.
Louis Peitzman tweeted: “The ‘wait, is Bambi a boy?’ people know that Thumper and Flower are boys too.
Ken responded, “Everyone tunes out before the second act, where an owl literally explains to them what it’s like to be horny.”
The discussion arose amid negotiations over a live-action remake.
