“Jeopardy!” Fans Are “Stressing” Over “Unhinged” Halloween Prank—But Not For The Reason You’d Think

Jeopardy! Prank

Suddenly, we live in a world where things aren’t what they seem. No, we aren’t talking about aliens or shapeshifters. Instead, we can no longer trust everyday objects because the incredible bakers of the world can make the cake look like just about anything. Is it cake challenges have taken over social media and sometimes it’s pretty darn tough to figure out. Jeopardy! decided to prank fans with a cake challenge on Halloween, which went frighteningly wrong.

“Jeopardy!” Fans Were Not Amused By The Prank

No, the prank didn’t include a fake Jeopardy! buzzer or a life-sized cake question board. The Instagram video took us through the Jeopardy! set, and everything was as we had thought. As the camera zoomed in on host Ken Jennings, we saw that it wasn’t cake, but the knife so close to his face scared him. Ken let out a yell and cameras captured his image and put it on a sheet cake. Here’s where the Jeopardy! prank took a dark turn. As the knife cut into the rectangular cake, the person slicing the cake created a triangle-shaped piece right in the middle. Fans simply couldn’t take it.

This person noticed right away. “Really brutal how you cut the cake in a pie shape.”

So does this one. “The scariest part of this video is the way the intern cut the cake.”

“The way y’all cut the cake is stressing me out,” another Jeopardy fan wrote of the prank.

After this, a fan will not send well wishes to Jeopardy staff. “Good morning to everyone except whoever cut the cake like that.”

Well, Ken, you and the Jeopardy! gang think your little prank was so funny, don’t you? We’ll have nightmares for years about this. Wait until we take the servicing spoon in the middle of your perfectly baked apple pie!
