Season 1 of Celebrity Jeopardy! aired episode 6 on Sunday, featuring three celebrity players — Troian Bellisario, Wil Wheaton, and Hasan Minhaj.
Viewers were not impressed with the game show this week due to several reasons. Since the premiere, fans have been complaining about the questions being too easy for Jeopardy! standards. In episode 6, fans were annoyed with player Hasan Minhaj as they felt that he was trying too hard to bring an element of comedy while playing the game.
Hasan, an actor and comedian, appeared in the competition series to play and win money for his charity, the International Rescue Committee.
He competed against actor Will Wheaton, who played for the National Women’s Law Center, and Pretty Little Liars actress Troian Bellisario, who played for War Child.
Fans found Hasan Minhaj “annoying” on today’s game
In the latest episode, Hasan Minhaj was seen ending his responses with funny actions or looks, which didn’t go down well with the show’s fans.
In Celebrity Jeopardy! season 1 episode 6, fans claimed that Minhaj was "high" and thus had super-energized behavior throughout the episode. Take a look at fans’ reaction:
Hasan is an actor and comedian from California, popularly known for The Daily Show, Hasan Minhaj: Homecoming King, Netflix’s Patriot Act with Hasan Minhaj, and The Morning Show.
He is also a writer, producer, TV host, and political commentator. The 37-year-old has an estimated net worth of $3 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Although fans were unimpressed by Hasan's behavior in the latest episode of Celebrity Jeopardy!, host Mayim Bialik seemed happy with his presence as she confessed on the show that she was his biggest fan.
Who won Celebrity Jeopardy! season 1 episode 6?
Celebrity Jeopardy! season 1 has four rounds and in episode 6, Hasan lost a winning match in round 2. He was in second place when he picked his first Daily Double in round 2. But he wagered all his winning amount worth $7,000 and lost the bet.
Hasan repeated a similar strategy in the final round and scored $0 in the end. However, the show gave $30,000 to all the players who lost the game for their respective charities. So, Hasan and Troian received the mentioned amount, while Wil advanced to the semi-finals.
Wil was leading the game from the start, but his scores went sky-high after he successfully answered all his Daily Doubles in round 3. The final results of season 1 episode 6 of the game show were:
- Wil Wheaton: $28,201 (Winner advanced to the semi-finals)
