Jeopardy! fans roast contestant for ‘WORST guess ever’ after he confuses two sixties icons
JEOPARDY! fans roasted contestant Mazin Omer tonight after he gave "the WORST guess ever".
Viewers were shocked as the player mixed up two very different sixties icons.
During tonight's episode of Jeopardy!, the contestants were presented with an image of Michael Caine showing off his medal after he received a knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2000.
Host Mayim Bialik, 46, gave the clue: "To honor his father, this star here was knighted in his birth name, so he's Sir Maurice Micklewhite."
Student Mazin incorrectly guessed: "Who is Mick Jagger?"
Jeopardy! viewers could not believe that he had mixed up The Italian Job star, 89, with the Rolling Stone, 78.

On Twitter, one wrote: "That has got to be the WORST guess ever!"
Another agreed: "The Michael Caine/Mick Jagger response will live on as a historic bad answer."
One viewer sarcastically called the guess "truly amazing", adding "I wish I had this lack of knowledge."
Another tried to show more sympathy for Mazin, writing "I’m sure he knows a million things that I don’t, but man, I wasn’t ready for that."
SUPER-CHAMP
Meanwhile, meteorologist Eric Ahasic fared a little better during tonight's game, as he stormed to a sixth consecutive win.
The streak now puts him in the category of 'super-champions'.
He sailed past the competition tonight to rack up an impressive daily total of $26, 800.
That puts his six-day total at a mighty $160, 601.
SO LONG, RYAN LONG
Eric took over as Jeopardy's man-of-the-moment last week after put an end to Ryan Long's 16 day streak.
The ride-share driver achieved the streak on the show ever - and $299K in total earnings.
