During the February 21 episode of Jeopardy!, followers on-line have been shocked to see the late Lisa Marie Presley’s funeral getting used as a clue so quickly after her dying.
Presley handed away on January 12, simply days after her look on the 2023 Golden Globes Award for Austin Butler’s Best Actor win for Elvis. Although we’re already on our second day of High School Reunion week, the episode was taped on January 29, three weeks earlier than the airing and simply two weeks after Presley’s dying. In the Homecoming class for $1,600, “her public memorial service took place at the lavish home Graceland, on January 22, 2023,” mentioned host Mayim Balik.

The clue caught the eyes of the Jeopardy! Subreddit, as properly. “Outside of probably the GOAT tournament [Jeopardy! The Greatest of All Time], is this one of the fastest turnarounds from taping day to air date for a tournament (or really any regular game) ever,” one consumer mentioned.
Another famous they “can’t specifically remember another news item that happened less than a month ago in real time making it into a clue.”
Some followers of Presley on Twitter didn’t take properly to her getting used as a clue, both. “Really? Using the very recent death of @LisaPresley as a clue,” one account tweeted. “The Jeopardy producers need to get a clue! That was classless and tasteless!”
