What was the clue?

The clue was under the “’90s No. 1 hits” category for $2,000.

“Sharing its title with an earlier, more upbeat Huey Lewis hit, it was number one for Celine Dion in 1994,” “Jeopardy!” host, Ken Jennings, read the clue out loud.

In a recent episode of Jeopardy!, contestant and Washington Post writer, Sarah Smith, missed a clue related to pop music icon Celine Dion. Despite being an avid fan of music, Smith couldn’t come up with the correct response when the clue mentioned Dion’s record-breaking album sales and hit songs.

Smith later admitted that she was caught off guard by the specific details mentioned in the clue and simply couldn’t recall them in time. Fans of the show were surprised to see a seasoned writer stumble over a music-related question, but Smith took it all in stride, laughing off her mistake.

It just goes to show that even the most knowledgeable contestants can have a slip-up now and then on Jeopardy! Regardless, Smith’s quick thinking and impressive trivia skills kept her in the game, proving that she’s still a force to be reckoned with on the iconic quiz show.
