During Jeopardy! presentations on Friday night, a celebrity stood behind the podium for a few seconds.
“Isaac Hirsch returned with us from Burbank, where he leads the customer support team,” said Ken, 50.
“And I understand a former Jeff Goldblum impersonator.”
Isaac explained that there is a group in Baltimore, Maryland that does water ballet.
“Sort of in the style of the old Ethel Merman movies in public swimming pools,” he said.
“They did a scene from the life of Jeff Goldblum and cast me to play Jeff Goldblum, like in the interstitials between the ballet pieces.”
Ken joked that Isaac is like an “aquatic Jeff Goldblum.”
“I’m not graceful and I can’t swim very well, so I literally come in the middle and do ‘The Fly’ or something like that and just do a fly thing,” Isaac said.
“But yeah, I can’t hope to capture the raw, weird sexual energy that Jeff Goldblum has.”
“Well, I don’t want to say too much, but you’re getting pretty close now, Isaac,” Ken told him.
Danger! champ Isaac Hirsch jokes he’s the ‘weird kid’ in a raucous old stand-up clip as fans scream, ‘love him!’
Isaac looked at the camera and raised an eyebrow with a mischievous smile before they returned to the game.
Jeff, 71, is best known for his roles in The Fly, Jurassic Park, the upcoming adaptation of Wicked and more.
‘BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!’
Reddit users flocked to the platform to comment on how much they love Isaac.
“Isaac has quickly made my way onto my list of favorite Jeopardy contestants. He has the best of both worlds: strong, smart gameplay and some of the funniest joke sections ever! Go, Isaac!” one fan said.

“I loved that cheeky comment from Ken,” replied one fan.
“I loved it when – at the end of Isaac’s interview, when Ken mentioned that Isaac was ‘getting really close’ to the, as Isaac put it, ‘weird, raw sexual energy’ of Jeff Goldblum, whom he once impersonated, Isaac gave a quick suggestive look at the camera and raised his eyebrows slightly Ha ha, it was brilliant,” said another fan.
