The Final Jeopardy question posed to the contestants stated: “Janet Gaynor, Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Her.”
Ittai Sopher, who was in third place, guessed the correct answer – Lady Gaga.
The answer was all of the leading actresses in the four versions of the movie A Star Is Born.
Contestant Tamara Ghattas was in second place, and she guessed Bernadette Peters, an incorrect answer.
The final contestant Michael Menkhus, who was in first place and ended up winning the episode, also guessed an incorrect answer.
He wrote down Audrey Hepburn, but he didn’t wager any of his winnings which kept him in first place.
EASY PEASY
The clip was posted on the game show’s Instagram account, and the comments were filled with comments complaining about the final question.
One said: “Probably the first final Jeopardy that I knew instantly. It was a good day.”

“If I can answer the final jeopardy question correctly, then it’s too easy. Hire me,” wrote another.
A third complained: “This was insanely easy!”
Other fans asked if the old format is coming back: “Is regular jeopardy coming back? Trivia is trivia but I’m starting to miss it.”
Another asked: “Are they ever going back to the regular Jeopardy! format?”
STEEPED IN ANGER
Tamara lost her temper during the middle of Friday’s show.
Initially, the Chicago native was holding her own against her competitors – she had $11.1K when the Daily Double rolled around.
She waged $7K of her earnings on the difficult trivia clue from the Jeopardy! category Silent Consonant Words.
“Relevant or suitable, it comes from the French phrase meaning ‘to the purpose,'” was the clue Ken Jennings, 49, read.
Tamara repeated the end part of the clue to herself as she struggled to solve it, and in the end, she was unable to answer the question within the allotted time.
Ken revealed that the answer was apropos, and in a fit of anger, Tamara hit her buzzer aggressively.
Her winnings dropped to $4.1K after she could not provide the correct answer within the time limit.
