Her name ain’t Ariana. It’s Miss Jackson, if you’re on ‘Jeopardy!’ A contestant on the weeknightly game show riled fans of both pop queens when he incorrectly answered a question on Wednesday night that included a live clip from the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.
Contestant Alwin Hui, of Washington DC, thought he had a clue when Trebek read, “As the recipient of the 2018 Icon Award, she took ‘control’ & took to the stage in her first live TV performance in nearly a decade.” Then Trebek played a segment of the awards ceremony — with Janet Jackson reprising her legendary “Control” choreography 32 years after the song’s release.
