We know Alex Trebek loves to throw out the rap questions every once in a while for the folks who make it to Jeopardy. Not everyone answers correct. As a matter of fact, most contestants get the answer wrong or don’t even answer at all. But what happens when they actually answer, but don’t enunciate correctly?
That’s what happened to a poor guy named Nick.
Trebek asked the question. He knew it. He answered it correctly, yet later on in the program, he was told that he mispronounced Collio’s hit single “Gangster’s Paradise” as opposed to “Gangstas Paradise,” which is the correct title of the song.
He went from being in the lead to losing out on $3200 and going back to second place. His reaction to the news was hilarious.
UPDATE: Coolio responds to the flub on air and those who may commit the same mistake in the future.
