When most people watch 'Jeopardy!' there are a few questions they may know, but for the most part viewers are usually left stunned by how many questions the contestants answer correctly. However, in a recent episode of the beloved game show, all three contestants were silent as a question almost every viewer knew the answer to appeared on screen. The internet reacted swiftly as all three contestants failed to recognize comedian Dave Chappelle when asked to identify the celebrity.

During the 'Double Jeopardy!' round on Wednesday's episode contestants were given the clue, "This comedian displayed his drama chops in A Star Is Born, playing Bradley Cooper's longtime friend," as Chappelle's image appeared on the screen. Despite many believing the answer to this question to be fairly easy, none of the contestants even attempted to buzz in to answer the question. Like the viewers, even guest host Ken Jennings was stunned when the question went unanswered.

Reaction online was consistent, with many stunned none of the contestants recognized the famous comedian. As plenty pointed out, the questions they did answer correctly were seemingly much tougher. Apparently watching standup comedy doesn't help with learning trivia.
