Jeopardy contestant has been fired

#1

Post by philip964 »

It was reported on the radio, but I cannot find written confirmation, the three time Jeopardy winner who flashed three fingers when he was introduced has been fired from his job.

The picture of him with the three fingers and the other fingers doing an ok, went viral as the fake white power symbol.

Not fired, but other contestants apparently wrote a letter of protest.

At the end of the article another person is mentioned (unconnected to the Jeopardy game show) who was fired for something similar.

Wife and I enjoy Jeopardy. Especially the on-demand versions without commercials.
