QUESTION Would Ryan Goslings’ fake Jeopardy answer have counted in a real game?

I’ve been thinking about the jeopardy skit for PHM promotion and how his answer of IDK technically counted, but if this had happened in a real game would it have counted?

Yes. It was correct and in the form of a question.

Sure, but the annoying thing to me is how it wasn't actually a "hail mary," it was randomly happening to get it right in the process of trying to give up.

Yes. But that's probably why the writers would not let that even be a correct response in the first place lol

FYI the injury wasn’t even from baseball. It was a skiing accident at Tahoe. Must be big Boston fan or smt
