Mayim Bialik makes another ‘Jeopardy!’ snafu: ‘That was ridiculous’

nypost.com:

game show producers were forced to intervene during a show earlier this week when Bialik, 46, mistakenly said that a contestant didn’t win her points, when, in fact, the player did.The clue read: “From a Latin word for ‘to clock,’ it’s the type of care given to seriously ill patients to provide comfort without curing.”Contestant Andie Huskie then answered, “What is palliative care?” pronouncing it differently.However, he then corrected his solution to “palliative care” pronounced correctly before time ran out.But as he quickly changed his answer, the “Big Bang Theory” alum was already claiming the word was wrong.Producers chimed in while the show aired, coming in hot in the middle of a Daily Double.While another contestant was answering a different question, Bialik halted the game to announce their decision on Huskie’s behalf.She said, “We have a score change and, Andie, it affects you.

The judges have reviewed your response, and you corrected your response of ‘palliative care’ before I began to rule you incorrect.

We will be adding $4,000 to your score. That puts you in the lead.”“Glad the judges overruled Mayim’s hasty “NO”. #Jeopardy,” a fan noted about the snafu on Twitter Monday.Another viewer added: “That was ridiculous.

Clearly started to correct himself before she ruled.”“Why does that keep happening. It messes up the whole game like the contestants get robbed from picking the next category and confuses the viewers at home.
