Ken Jennings' on-air apology followed an uncomfortable moment involving a clue about women wearing glasses, which some viewers considered sexist, particularly because a female contestant was present.
Viewers expressed their outrage on social media, criticizing Jennings for reading an outdated clue and labeling the moment as sexist and inappropriate for the show's context.
Whitney Ryan, a viewer, tweeted her dissatisfaction at the incident, emphasizing how an intelligent contestant like Heather Ryan deserves better than to face an insulting remark.
While Jennings acknowledged the clue as 'problematic,' criticism mounted over the choice to keep such a phrase in the game, despite its potential to offend.
