The court of public opinion has spoken and “Jeopardy!” fans are rife with fury<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After Monday night’s episode of the game show, viewers voiced their disdain on social media for what they believe was an allowed incorrect answer, altering the outcome of the show.<\/p>\n

Contestant and professor Melissa Klapper narrowly defeated teacher and football coach Jake Garrett as well as Kelly Barry, a marketing communications specialist.<\/p>\n

At one point, Klapper selected the “Quite the Fishy Story” category for $200, and was presented a clue by host Ken Jennings<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The force of Lasse Hallstr\u00f6m was strong to pull in this Scot to play a fisheries expert in ‘Salmon Fishing in the Yemen,'” it read.<\/p>\n

Without hesitating, Klapper responded, “Ewan Gregor.”<\/p>\n

The name of the actor in the 2011 film “Salmon Fishing in the Yemen” that Jennings was referring to is Scottish actor Ewan McGregor<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite the perceived flub, Jennings confirmed the answer, telling Klapper, “That is correct, taking you to $5,200, you’re just off the lead.” Garrett led the contestants with $6,800.<\/p>\n

Fans immediately flocked to Twitter<\/a> to confer, questioning if they had all heard the same thing.\u00a0<\/p>\n

People were adamant that after rewinding the tape, they were sure Klapper had uttered the wrong name.<\/p>\n

“Tonight there was a mistake on @Jeopardy the woman in the middle named Melissa said \u2018Ewan Gregor’ when really it\u2019s \u2018Ewan Mcgregor\u2019 I played it back twice just to make sure,” one fan wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another person tweeted, “That red headed lady who won answered a question incorrectly. She said Ewan Gregor instead of Ewan MCGREGOR. We ran it back twice. She didn\u2019t say it. She shouldn\u2019t have won.”<\/p>\n

Other fans questioned why the program missed what they believed was a clear error.<\/p>\n

“@Jeopardy Ewan McGregor was the correct answer. Not Ewan Gregor. Why didn\u2019t @KenJennings or the judges catch that? Could have made a difference in the outcome,” one person tweeted. Another user shared, “She said Ewan Gregor! Not MCGregor \u2026 So surprised they let that one slide\u2026 #tisktisk.”<\/p>\n

One keen-eyed fan shared that they thought Klapper looked at the judges after giving the wrong answer, tweeting, “#Jeopardy it\u2019s Ewan McGregor not Gregor. Saw her look off to judges after she gave the wrong name but nothing happened.”<\/p>\n

Klapper eventually won the game, beating defending champion Barry as well as Garrett by only $1.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
