“Jeopardy!” host Alex Trebek was the taget of a bunch of angry tweets when he made fun of a contestant’s favorite music genre on Wednesday evening’s show.
“Your favorite type of music is something I’ve never heard of, but it doesn’t sound like fun,” Trebek said to librarian Susan Cole.
Cole then began describing her favorite genre of music, Nerdcore, to which Trebek replied less than enthusiastically.
“[Nerdcore is] rapping about the things they love,” Cole said. “Video games, science-fiction, having a hard time meeting romantic partners. It’s really catchy and fun.”
After an antagonizing sigh, Trebek replied, “Losers, in other words” before following up to say he was “teasing.”
Cole laughed it off and walked away victorious: she beat out the competition with $22,600 and will return for Thursday night’s show.
Still, fans to the game show were not amused.
SMDH...
