Jeopardy! is the most watched game show on television. The most astute and informed players answer questions based on clues that most average home viewers find difficult to understand.
To the amazement of many Christian followers, all three participants in a recent episode were stumped by an apparently straightforward hint about the Lord’s Prayer.
The $200 clue, which is the smallest and frequently easiest amount on the board, was read by host Mayim Bialik in the “Dadjectives” category on June 13.
“This ‘Be Thy Name,’ Our Father Who Art in Heaven,” declares Matthew 6:9.
The response is “hallowed” (or, more accurately, “what is hallowed,” in accordance with Jeopardy! rules), which should be recognizable to anyone who learned the Lord’s Prayer in Sunday school.
even seemingly easy Jeopardy answers! occasionally perplex participants, but among the faithful, it appears that the fact that no one could understand one of the most well-known Christian prayers struck a nerve.
