This 'Jeopardy!' Clue Totally Stumped The Players But Vancouverites Know What's Up (VIDEO)

It's not the first time contestants have been bamboozled by Canadian trivia. 🇨🇦

This 'Jeopardy!' Clue Totally Stumped The Players But Vancouverites Know What's Up (VIDEO)

Vancouver got a shoutout on a recent Jeopardy! episode, but it seems that the contestants had a hard time placing this famous West Coast celebrity.

In the category of 'That's Canadian Entertainment' for $600, players were asked, "This Vancouver Native Lent His Voice To The City's Public Transit In 2018; Here's A Sample" followed by a very familiar voice saying, "Get those feet off the seat. My mom might be sitting there one day. C'mon."

After a few seconds of silence followed by the buzzer, the host announced, "that was Seth Rogen," which we Canadians totally knew was the answer.

Back in 2020, some were calling for fellow Vancouverite Ryan Reynolds to take on the role as host after Alex Trebek's cancer diagnosis.

This isn't the first time contestants have been stumped by Canadian trivia. Back in January, no one on the show knew that New Brunswick is Canada's only officially bilingual province.
