This one was hard to watch.<\/p>\n
It’s not unusual for Jeopardy!<\/em> questions to stump contestants, but when the players fail to recognize one of the most prolific faces in entertainment, well, viewers tend to have a problem with that.<\/p>\n During the episode that originally aired on Dec. 1, contestants Chris Pannullo<\/strong>, Rob Lamanna<\/strong>and Jeri Zulli <\/strong>shocked the nation after they could not identify a photo of Hollywood legend Gene Kelly<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Yes, that’s the same Kelly that portrayed Don Lockwood in the 1952 musical Singin’ in the Rain<\/em> alongside Debbie Reynolds<\/strong> and starred in An American in Paris<\/em> (1951), Xanadu<\/em> (1980), and opposite Judy Garland<\/strong> of The Pirate<\/em> (1948) as well as summer stock<\/em> (1950), just to name a few.<\/p>\n But on Thursday, Kelly was a stranger to Pannullo, Lamanna, and Zulli.<\/p>\n The clue\u2014which included a photo of Kelly standing next to the late Olivia Newton-John<\/strong>\u2014was listed under the “Remembering Olivia Newton-John” category for $1,000. Shoo Ken Jennings<\/strong> posed this question to contestants: “Olivia called it an ‘amazing experience’ working and dancing with this legend on Xanadu<\/em>which would be his last movie.”<\/p>\n
