JEOPARDY! fans have called out the show for airing an old episode in several states on Friday night. Frustrated viewers had to watch a rerun from April instead of witnessing Adriana Harmeyer's eighth win . Jeopardy! fans in Detroit and Canada claimed they were shown an old episode featuring Marko Saric from April 19.
"Wrong episode aired tonight? In the Detroit market, the April 19, 2024 is airing. Is this happening anywhere else?" one raged on Reddit. "WDIV makes these kinds of mistakes all the time! And one of the contestants is from Rochester, I'd be so bummed if I were him or his loved ones," another added.
"I wondered if I was losing my mind. Thank you for posting this. Channel 4 sucks," a third posted.
"Totally agree! I was straining my brain because I swore I watched Adriana win last night!" someone else commented. "So weird," another viewer noted, adding, "It sucks that this happened." Fan favorite Adriana won her eighth episode on Friday with $183,100, beating Amogha Tadimety and Kevin Stuhlmann for a near- game show record.
The archivist is on the longest and highest-earning streak in over a year. During the episode, she revealed she wears her late grandmother's necklace for every match. Host Ken Jennings , 49, said he'd spotted that the piece of jewelry keeps popping up.
"It's a cameo necklace that was given to me by my grandmother. She loved and collected cameos in all forms and was also a big game show fan!" Adriaan said. She added that she watched Jeopardy! ofte.
