'Jeopardy!' Contestants Fail Easy Question For Not Knowing Tom Hanks Is Playing 'Mr. Rogers'

What? I understand maybe, maybe not being able to identify Tom Hanks... But Mr. Rogers? Did you Jeopardy people not watch TV as a kid? Or were you too busy becoming geniuses?

Either way, they were torn apart online, like most people are nowadays.

There have been a lot of geniuses on 'Jeopardy!'.

From Brad Rutter, the man who took around 4 million dollars on the show, to that IBM computer that ended up crushing some human players, we've seen a very diverse cast of smart people.

Smart people who have no pop culture sense.

Well, at least the most recent contestants don't have any.

Cut to Monday night, where the below question was answered by a chorus of silence. A question a lot of us normies would consider pretty easy.

That's right, they couldn't identify Tom Hanks.

Well, Beverly eventually tried to buzz in, but it was too late for her.

No doubt, there was a bunch of Jeopardy! fans literally screaming their heads off at the TV during this moment.

I know this because they sure screamed their heads off on Twitter afterwards.

The Jeopardy! and Tom Hanks fans took to Twitter to complain about the fact that they didn't know who Tom Hanks was.

Come on guys, they're eggheads. All they watch are the Discovery Channel and Rick and Morty.

You have to be really smart to understand that show.
