Fans Call Out 'Jeopardy' Contestant for Missing 'Easy' Clue

Jeopardy! fans were baffled by a contestant's mistake over what they believed was a very easy clue.

On the July 17 episode of the game show, host Ken Jennings presented the clue under the "Government Officials" category during the "Final Jeopardy!" round. The clue read: "In 1867 he wrote to General Rousseau, 'On arriving at Sitka…You will receive from the Russian commissioner the formal transfer."

Contestant Leann Craumer, who is a librarian, answered, "Who is Napoleon?" The other contestants Jerry Powers, a retired elementary teacher, and Daniel Moore, a contract compliance analyst, had the correct answer, which is William H. Seward.

Fans voiced their thoughts on Craumer's flub on social media.

"That one gal with Napoleon? Seriously?!," questioned a fan.

Another was equally shocked, writing, "She said Napoleon???"

Others voiced their thoughts in the comment section under the YouTube clip.

"1867 + Sitka + Russian commissioner = What else could it be?" someone noted, while another thought it was an "easy final."

This wasn't the only time in recent Jeopardy! episodes that someone's incorrectly answered "Napoleon." In the June 19 episode, a contestant picked the French general and emperor as his answer to a clue inquiring who won Waterloo.

Craumer was a good sport, sharing her excitement on Twitter over appearing on the show.

"Watch me on national television - Monday, July 17! A couple months ago I had the amazing opportunity to fly to Culver City, CA and be a contestant on #jeopardy!, a literal dream come true. It was one of the most exhilirating [sic] and terrifying things I've ever done," she wrote.

In other Jeopardy! news, co-hosts Mayim Bialik and Jennings received their first Emmy nominations for their work on the show under the category of Outstanding Game Show Host.
