Jeopardy! acknowledged the show had stepped on a rake when it made a "rare mistake" about The Simpsons.
Bill Oakley, one of the writers on Fox's animated series, The Simpsons, corrected the popular TV quiz show when it misspelled one of his characters' names.
On Wednesday's show, the clue was: "Robert Underdunk Terwilliger is the real name of this vengeful 'Simpsons' character."
The correct way to respond was, "Who is Sideshow Bob?" but there was one glaring error in the clue.
The right way to spell his middle name is "Onderdonk," and Oakley was sure to correct the Jeopardy! team.
"Yes @Jeopardy you made a rare mistake. It's 'Onderdonk'. And @Joshstrangehill and I are certain cause we wrote that script. Cc:@KenJennings," Oakley wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
