A Jeopardy! contestant gave a hilariously wrong answer about Joel Embiid’s nickname

Jeopardy! looks like a very hard game show to be a contestant on. I know I’d do terribly, mostly because I’d probably be really nervous and also because I don’t know a lot of stuff, which feels like a deadly combination for that show.

But every now and then a contestant gets a question wrong that I know I would have easily gotten right and I’m able to sit back and feel good about myself while laughing at a stranger.

That happened Wednesday night when a simple clue about Philadelphia 76ers star Joel Embiid popped up. It was simply looking for his nickname “The Process”, which I would have nailed.

You know who couldn’t nail that?

I’m sorry, but that is hilarious.

Twitter agreed:
