In 2023, there was a rumor that he was shot and killed, but he is still currently posting videos on <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@john.pork?lang=en\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:TikTok;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">After fans commented that Pork came before AI, so the clue is wrong, the game show issued an apology video. \u201cWhen we played a clue recently on <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> about John Pork, I remarked that \u2018I didn\u2019t understand a word of it.\u2019 Well, I\u2019ve had the chance to learn quite a bit since that clue aired about the late Mr. Pork, including the fact that some viewers took exception with our description of him as AI-generated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNow, even though AI is used heavily in many of his TikToks, it\u2019s possible that wasn\u2019t the best wording to refer to his original appearances. John, I hope you\u2019ll forgive me and all of us at <em>Jeopardy!<\/em> for any insult we may have committed against you or your memory.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Fans were confused that Jennings said \u201cthe late Mr. Pork,\u201d since the creator isn\u2019t dead.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cNo way.
