A contestant on “Jeopardy” named Nick Spicher cost himself $3,200 on Monday’s show, because he pronounced the word “gangsta” as “gang-STER”.
The correct answer was “Gangsta’s Paradise Lost”, which combines “Gangsta’s Paradise” by Coolio and the book “Paradise Lost” by John Milton.
He initially won $1,600, but then the judges took it away and docked him another $1,600, since it was now a “wrong” answer. So, it was a $3,200 swing.
Let Nick’s mistake be a lesson to us all. In 2018, you gotta keep it gangsta at all times. Never Gangster #Jeopardy pic.twitter.com/NMO7QsAfyI
