Ken, 49, shares two children — Dylan, 20, and Caitlin, 16, — with his wife, Mindy Boam.
The danger! the host shared a screenshot of a text exchange between him and one of his children on X, formerly Twitter.
“Jeopardy Masters is not doing well in my own house,” Ken captioned the tweet.
“My friends are sending me the skibidi Jeopardy! clip,” one of his children wrote, with two thumbs-down emojis.

He replied, “You’re cooked.”
“STOPP,” they finished.
It is unclear which of Ken’s children sent him this message, as he tends to keep his personal life private and the name was not shown.
Both Dylan and Caitlin would fall into the category or at least know what it is, as they are close to the age to answer the clue.
WHAT IS UNKNOWN?
Victoria Groce chose the “Internet Slang” category for $200.
Ken read the clue which said: “Slang like ‘fanum tax’ and ‘skibidi’ confuses many; it is associated with this generation, a name that inappropriately follows Gen Z.”
There was a slight hesitation before someone entered.
Matt Amodio was first and responded without any confidence.
“What is Generation Alpha?” he said.
Ken told him he was right and Matt flinched, still unsure.

Generation Alpha is the current generation of children – those born between the early 2010s and mid-2020s.
“Fanum Tax” is a phrase that Generation Alpha uses.
It comes from content creator Fanum, who ate other creators’ food while broadcasting on the Twitch platform.
Now Generation Alpha uses it to mean friends stealing each other’s food.
“Skibidi” came from a YouTube series called Skibidi Toilets.
It’s an animated series that takes place in a dystopian world, where there are mobile toilets where heads pop out of bowls.
Skibidi used to have no meaning, but teenagers adapted it to mean bad or cool depending on the context.
‘BRAIN’
Despite the demographics of Jeopardy! Being older viewers, fans were shocked to see that the contestants looked confused.
The game show posted the segment to X and Ken cited it in his text exchange.
In the post, fans gave their opinion on what they thought.
“If Ken Jennings says you’re a cook, you might actually be cooked,” said one fan.
“Who taught you ‘you’re cooked?’ another wondered.
“Danger is a lot harder than it used to be,” added a third.
“As teenage homeowners watching Jeopardy, this sent chills through our house (what? I can’t say chills now? What am I supposed to say? Oh, nothing? Okay),” joked one follower.
“We’re loving it,” said another.
