Watch Alex Trebek Make a Hilarious Mistake on Jeopardy! in an Unaired Clip

1 minute read

Jeopardy! posted a YouTube video of Alex Trebek bungling contestants’ names during a taping of the interview portion of the show.

In a snafu that never aired, he calls a woman by the wrong name and starts chatting her up about her recent trip to the Tower of London. She tells him she went with it instead of correcting him because “I just wanted to make you feel good.”

Looking dumbfounded, he then tells the audience he knows almost nothing going into each show. “I don’t even know where the hell I am today!” After more laughter ensues, he adds, “That’s never happened before.”
