Lisa Ann Walter shocked the “Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions” audience Monday night after letting a curse slip on air.
The “Parent Trap” actress was competing against marketing specialist TJ Fisher and technology manager Mike Dawson during the episode when she incorrectly answered clue 21 while already sitting at -$200 for the round.
After Ken Jennings revealed the right answer, Walter couldn’t help but laugh as she exclaimed, “What the hell?”
The “Abbott Elementary” star’s blunt choice of words stunned the audience — with laughs and shocked gasps rippling through the studio.
Things only continued to go downhill for Walter from there.
She ended the game at a brutal -$2,600 — knocking the actress out of a shot at competing in “Final Jeopardy!”
Her comment shocked viewers of the beloved trivia show with her language, though many also seemed to understand her reaction.
“Did not have Lisa Ann Walter casually breaking the Jeopardy! decorum on my bingo card,” wrote one fan on X.
“I curse while watching so much; especially when a contestant gets a wrong response for some BS,” another fan wrote on Reddit.
“People that freak out about cursing don’t normally react to stuff like that. Life’s gotta be hard if you’ll let something that mild get under your skin,” commented another.
The “Bruce Almighty” actress also made a jaw-dropping confession before the game even started, revealing she wants her ashes stored in the “Jeopardy!” trophy when she dies.
“I’m going to be buried in it, it’s my urn,” she said. “I fought for it, I won it and it’s going to go to good use. And I’m not kidding, it is now in my will.”
Monday night’s round ended with Fisher winning, finishing with $15,199 and advancing to the semifinals on Tuesday.
Walter has fared far better on the long-running American television quiz show in the past, having been crowned champion of Season 2 of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” in 2024.
In addition to winning a $1 million donation for the Entertainment Community Fund, Walter also received a massive trophy — which she once described as “the heaviest plastic piece of crap.”
“This incredibly tacky item has been sitting right underneath my television, right in front of my little recliner where I can look at it every day that I watch ‘Jeopardy’,” she told Jimmy Kimmel during an appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” following her victory. “Front and center.”
