6, 2020, in New York City. (Photo by Gary Gershoff/Getty Images) Ken Jennings, one of the new permanent hosts of "Jeopardy!" was criticized by fans this week for "unfair" rulings after allowing a contestant to correct an answer.

The moment happened on Wednesday's episode when contestant Luigi de Guzman answered a question under the "Cons" category. A painting was shown on the screen with the clue: "Here's a typical early 19th-century landscape by this British painter.""Who is Constant?" de Guzman answered."Say it again," Jennings, 48, replied."Sorry, who is Constable?" de Guzman responded.

And his answer was accepted. But later in the show, contestant Harriet Wagner made a similar error when answering a clue about the fantasy author of "Always Coming Home.""Who is Angela LeGuin — Ursula LeGuin," Wagner said.But Jennings ruled her answer incorrect, before allowing de Guzman to give the right answer."Yes, Harriet, you remembered that her name was Ursula, but I’m afraid I had already begun ruling against you when you began correcting yourself," the champion-turned-host said.The "Jeopardy!" rules state that "contestants may change their responses as long as neither the host nor the judges have made a ruling."There’s no way to prepare for how nerves may affect you when the game is in play," the game show’s website states.
