Host Mayim Bialik presented the clue, "MATTHEW 6:9 SAYS, 'OUR FATHER WHICH ART IN HEAVEN', THIS 'BE THY NAME,'" but none of the contestants responded. Bialik then provided the answer, "Hallowed be thy name."
The surprising lack of knowledge from the contestants caused a stir on social media, with many expressing their disbelief. One Twitter user wrote, "Can I admit to being genuinely shocked that not one Jeopardy! contestant recognized The Lord's Prayer?" Another user commented, "How do you not know The Lord's Prayer? #Jeopardy."
Some viewers also took the opportunity to criticize the selection of contestants, with one person tweeting, "Very weak selection of Jeopardy contestants tonight... none of them knew the Lord's Prayer clue? I'm an agnostic and knew that." Another user wrote, "Did anyone else notice that ALL THREE Jeopardy contestants tonight, couldn't even fill in the blank, one word, on the opening line of The Lord's Prayer? Kind of fits in today's Biden America. So sad."
