JEOPARDY! guest host Buzzy Cohen has shaded Wheel of Fortune in a tweet.
He wrote that the show is “ashamed to be associated” with WOF.

Last Thursday, the guest host and Tournament of Champions Winner tweeted: “I don’t usually get political on here, but isn’t amazing that there are these… these pairs that appear: Vermont & New Hampshire; Arizona & New Mexico; Jeopardy! & Wheel of Fortune…”
With Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune airing back to back on week nights, most people associate them together.
Vermont and New Hampshire held a court case over the boundary between the two states and where they divide.
Since the states border each other, many people compare the two, although they are vastly different.
And Arizona and New Mexico were kind of in the same predicament.
Back in 1963, during the Civil War, those two states split into two different territories, under the Arizona Organic Act.
Buzz lumped the game shows as a pair, even though they are two completely different shows.
Fans took to the comments to get in on the joke.

FANS REACT
Jeopardy! fans joked about the rivalry under his tweet.
“And strange to think that in some cities Wheel of Fortune airs BEFORE Jeopardy…” tweeted one fan.
“Dave AND Busters,” joked another.
A third warned him: “WHOA. That’s a really hot take. You might want to consider going into hiding.”
Another Twitter user threw shade and wrote: “Ken and Mayim,” referencing the Jeopardy! hosts.
PRICKLY!
Former Jeopardy! hosts aren’t the only ones to shade others.
While Buzz shaded another show, host Ken Jennings recently called out a member of the audience for wearing outfits favoring Mayim Bialik.
In a wild video, he spotted in disbelief that they came to his episode dressed like her sitcom character..
During a commercial break, the 48-year-old started to interact with the live studio audience.
In particular, with four audience members who the surprised host saw wearing “Blossom” hats – the exact accessory actress and dual-host Mayim, 46, donned on-screen for her ’90s sitcom.
Ken wasn’t thrilled that the attendees chose to tip their hats to Mayim, so to speak, during his taping and threw dirt their way.
“It looks like there are some people who knew I was going to be hosting and wore my favorite flower on their heads,” he said pointing at them.
The crowd laughed nervously and applauded.
“Thank you, that’s so sweet,” he sarcastically continued.
“For wearing a hat for your favorite host!” he hilariously shaded holding his hands to his heart.
“Aw, that means so much!” – the Mayim supporters of course had to sit in their near-front seats and just take it.
Fans went wild in the comments under the less-than-flowery interaction Jeopardy! just had to share it on Facebook.
SOUR PATCH
“They wanted BLOSSOM!” one commented below the game show’s share.
“Funny Ken!” wrote another.
“I think they thought they were going to a Mayim Bialik taping,” wrote a third who was also in disbelief.
“Just make Ken the sole host,” wrote a fourth.
A fifth defended being pro-Mayim or pro-Ken isn’t helpful and wrote: “They both fill a purpose and have their audiences. I’m glad they’re sharing the hosting duties.”
After two and a half years of empty seats, cheering crowds are back and filling the stands at the newly named Alex Trebek Stage this season.
