A “Jeopardy!” clue about Zendaya has fans seething.
A “Jeopardy!” clue about Zendaya has fans seething.
During the June 25 episode of the long-running game show, host Ken Jennings read a clue in the “Stars in the Making” category.
“Before somehow making tennis steamy in 2024, this single-named star guested on Disney Channel’s ‘Good Luck Charlie,’” he said.
Contestant Staci Garner correctly answered Zendaya, but viewers were puzzled by the clue’s wording. The “Challengers” star did appear in one episode of “Good Luck Charlie” in 2011, but she did so playing Rocky Blue, her character from the Disney Channel series “Shake It Up,” which ran from 2010 until 2013, during the early days of her career.
“I’m sorry, but why did they mention a guest role on ‘Good Luck Charlie’ when before that she was the co-star on ‘Shake It Up’? It was even the same character in both shows. Just seems very misleading,” one person wrote on the “Jeopardy!” YouTube page that shared a clip of the clue.
