“Jeopardy!” left viewers confused by misleading clues during Tuesday night’s show.
The hint in question about actress Zendaya was a reference to her recent film The Challengers, which was technically correct, but caused some confusion since the actress’ main claim to fame was her role on the Disney Channel.
“Before setting the tennis world on fire in 2024, this unnamed star made a guest appearance on Disney Channel’s ‘Good Luck Charlie.'” The clue said.
Spider-Man producers had no idea who Zendaya was when she auditioned for the film, despite her celebrity status.

“Jeopardy!” contestant Stacey Garner correctly guessed Zendaya, but the actress only appeared in one episode of “Good Luck Charlie,” causing confusion online.
“Jeopardy incorrectly reported that Zendaya was in Good Luck, Charlie,” an online user wrote to X.
Another wrote: “Zendaya wasn’t in Good Luck Charlie…right?”
“What’s a crossover episode?” asked another X user.

“One of the downsides of our fame is that privacy is no longer in our control, and what we thought were just moments between two people who really love each other are now moments shared with the whole world,” Holland told GQ magazine in 2021.
“Equal feelings [we both share] “When you really love and care about someone, there are moments and things that you want to own,” Zendaya explained to the outlet. “I think loving someone is sacred and it’s special and it’s something that you want to deal with and go through and experience and enjoy between two people who love each other.”
