In a recent episode of Jeopardy, three contestants were stumped by a basic question about Tom Hanks after which they were mocked by netizens for not recognising the famous actor. The question which was worth $200 came up under the category 'Biopics'. During the round of gameplay host Alex Trebek played a clip from Tom Hanks' Mister Rogers biopic, A Beautiful Day in the neighbourhood, and asked the contestants to identify the leading man and it was at this shocking moment that none of the three contestants was able to answer the question despite a footage that was played on the screen.

And told Beverly who buzzed last minute that she wasn't quick enough. As the clip from the episode soon became internet viral. A netizen said, “I know you’re all dying for more Jeopardy content, but today none of the contestants knew that Tom Hanks was starring in the upcoming Mr Rogers movie, and THERE WAS A PICTURE”.
