Host Ken Jennings spoke to the contestants during the usual mid-game interviews.
The segment began with Kelly Proulx, director of nonprofit communications from Billerica, Massachusetts.
Ken asked Kelly where she met her husband – and Kelly revealed the couple’s musical origins.
“We met in the marching band at the University of Notre Dame,” Kelly said.
“We were right next to each other on the first day of band camp my freshman year and the rest is history, I guess.”
She added: “We actually know several other band couples.”
Ken responded that he wasn’t shocked by the cute story.
“It doesn’t surprise me, I mean, from what the American Pie movies taught me,” he said.
All three contestants laughed at Ken’s reference to the popular film series, which is about teenagers navigating their sex lives – and the second film is set at the band camp.
“Good match and win for Kelly. Ken made me laugh when he mentioned American Pie during Kelly’s interview,” one fan reacted to the moment in a Reddit thread dedicated to the game show called r/Jeopardy!.
“Hahaha, who knew that was your guilty pleasure? It surprised me,” added another.
