\u201cJeopardy!\u201d host Ken Jennings spoke out after a recent clue sparked backlash.<\/p>\n
During the Oct. 24. episode of the beloved game show, even Jennings was confused by the clue that read, \u201cA.I. generated the TikTok Image of this pig\/human eventually killed by Tim Cheese.\u201d<\/p>\n
All three contestants were stumped, looking at Jennings with blank expressions. Before reading the answer, which was \u201cWho is John Pork?\u201d, Jennings admitted, \u201cI didn\u2019t understand any of that.\u201d<\/p>\n
It wasn\u2019t the difficulty level of the question that ruffled feathers with fans, but how the online meme was described.<\/p>\n
\u201cJohn Pork isn\u2019t ai dont slander him!\u201d one viewer commented on the official \u201cJeopardy!\u201d Instagram account<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cJOHN PORK IS NOT AI,\u201d another person chimed in.<\/p>\n \u201cUpset I immediately knew the answer even with the question phrased incorrectly, he was NOT AI!\u201d a third person commented.<\/p>\n Jennings addressed the controversy in a TikTok video <\/a>posted on Saturday, Nov. 1. <\/p>\n \u201cWhen we played a clue recently on \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 about John Pork, I remarked that I didn\u2019t understand a word of it,\u201d he began. \u201cWell, 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. Now, 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.\u201d<\/p>\n READ MORE: <\/b>Trump claims it\u2019s \u2018probably illegal\u2019 for \u2018Late Night\u2019 host to mock him<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n Jennings then asked the deceased character for forgiveness. <\/p>\n \u201cJohn, I hope you\u2019ll forgive me and all of us at \u2018Jeopardy!\u2019 for any insult we may have committed against you or your memory,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n \u201cThe concept of jeopardy issuing an apology to John Pork,\u201d one fan quipped in the comments section.<\/p>\n John Pork, who is a digitally created man with a pig\u2019s head, is a popular meme on Instagram, TikTok, and other social media platforms.
