'Jeopardy!' Question About CW Show During New Episode Gives Coincidental Nod To Casting Shakeup
On Monday night, "Jeopardy!" returned with new episodes following it hiatus. During the broadcast, one question, in particular, caught the eye of some fans thanks to an oddly-timed clue on the Alex Trebek-hosted show.
According to Popculture.com, the $600 question was, "Bruce Wayne is missing, and Ruby Rose dons the cowl as this title CW superhero who's no mere girl?" This, of course, was a nod to The CW's "Batwoman."
The reason why its inclusion likely caught some fans off guard was due to the fact that Rose recently announced her plans to leave the CW superhero show after Season 1. As reported by Deadline, Rose revealed her "very difficult decision" in a statement on Tuesday.
Following the announcement, neither Rose nor "Batwoman" producers would speak about the specific reasons for the departure, but it was said that the decision had been made mutually. Additionally, it has been said that Berlanti Prods. and WBTV "reaffirmed their commitment to Batwoman and to casting another LGBTQ actress in the groundbreaking role."
The clue's appearance on the trivia show was, of course, not premeditated, as "Jeopardy!" has been shut down in recent weeks due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. This occurrence follows another instance this year where a clue gave an eerie nod to current events, as this year's College Championship alluded to the current COVID-19 health crisis.
Aside from the ways in which the trivia show has overlapped with news, "Jeopardy!" fans have also discussed the show for other reasons in recent months, including a contestant's never-before-seen behavior.
As for Trebek himself, not only did the longtime host give fans a health update regarding his ongoing battle with stage 4 pancreatic cancer, but he also revealed that he will be releasing an autobiography on July 21 called "The Answer Is…: Reflections on My Life."
