Ken corrected her as well and said: "What are moose?"

In the comments section, fans mocked Jack and claimed the epic fail would "haunt him forever."

"Poor Jack. This will haunt him for the rest of his days," one person said.

Another added: "If he said it comedically, it would be great. 

"Instead, we're all sitting here wondering how the heck this guy got on Jeopardy."

"It's meece, and I will die on that hill," a user defended; however, one fan added: "Come on, Jack."

A commentator chimed in: "He really thought: It gotta be meese! 

'No, Jack! Why would you even think that was the answer? No, Jack! come on!'

SEASON 40 CHANGES

While viewers have been watching summer reruns, Season 40 will debut on September 11 with a huge change.

In May, the trivia show became impacted by the Writers Guild of America strike.

When Season 39 ended on July 28, co-host Mayim Bialik, 47, decided not to host the final week of filming, as reported by Deadline.

The Big Bang Theory alum is said to be standing in solidarity with the writers on strike.

Since the writers are still on strike, new episodes will be composed of recycled versions of old questions from years past.

The annual Tournament of Champions has been called off until the strike ends.

JAMES' JAB

Earlier in August, Jeopardy! Masters champ James Holzhauer took to X, formerly known as Twitter, and slammed the program.

The commotion started when showrunner Michael Davies appeared in a podcast episode of Inside Jeopardy!.

Michael mentioned the best episodes are the ones that “feature our writers, writing original material,” while regular programming has been postponed.

He promised content will be a “combination of material that our WGA writers wrote before the strike, which is still in the database, and material that has been redeployed from multiple seasons of the show.”

In response, James wrote: "If you don’t have time to listen, here’s the executive summary of today’s announcement:

"1:00-2:00: Jeopardy’s writers are invaluable and we couldn’t produce the show without them.

"2:00-15:00: Here is how we will produce the upcoming season without them."
