‘Jeopardy’ contestant got this Public Enemy question wrong— and Twitter erupted
not even close?“Jeopardy” contestant Halley Ryherd faced the wrath of Twitter Wednesday night when she mixed up popular throwback hip-hop groups.During the “Chuck D, Times 3” category of gameplay — which included prompts about Charles Darwin and Charles Dickens, as well as rapper Chuck D of Public Enemy — current host Mayim Bialik read the following clue:“In the 1990s, Chuck D began fighting the power in this hip-hop group with Flavor Flav, a man who always knew what time it was,”Ryherd, an attorney, quickly buzzed in, hesitantly answering, “What is the Funky Bunch?,” referring to Marky Mark’s — or Mark Wahlberg’s — hip-hop group. Remember, Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch sing 1991’s “Good Vibrations” while Public Enemy is known for 1988’s “Fight The Power.”The incorrect response cost Ryherd $600 — and a whole lot of scolding on social media.
