OK, look: to anyone who is making fun of poor Steve from Thursday night’s Jeopardy!, I ask you if you would have gotten this clue that he hilariously struck out on.
Take a minute to think about it! You’re on a nationally televised game show with a few seconds to answer after hitting your buzzer at the exact right time, and the answer to this $1,000 clue isn’t there. So you grasp and say what’s the first thing that comes to mind.
Not so easy, is it?
Now, that said, in hindsight, I imagine Steve is having a bit of a laugh over this answer to the clue in the “Hot Stuff” category:

Yeah, biting into an 800-degree calzone might be, er, a little painful. But would any of you gotten “what is an oven?”
There were lots of jokes, but there shouldn’t be:
I need the calzone from hell
