‘What Is a Hoe?’: ‘Jeopardy’ Teases Ken Jennings’ Infamously Incorrect Answer 21 Years Later

  • Milwaukee teacher Micah Fritz, 32, made his debut on Jeopardy! on June 24, winning $14,200 despite missing Final Jeopardy.
  • Fritz had pursued becoming a contestant for 15 years and was contacted by the show in October 2024 to advance in the process.
  • During the episode, Fritz discussed his Milwaukee bathroom-review Instagram inspired by Seinfeld's George Costanza, while host Ken Jennings referenced his own past 'hoe' answer controversy.
  • Jennings explained that the clue described "an immoral pleasure seeker," but he was hesitant to apply that label to everyone referred to as hoes, which elicited laughter from the audience.
  • Fritz's win and appearance highlight his long effort and comfort on stage, setting him up to defend his title on the next episode airing in Milwaukee at 6 p.m.
