  • You know, I think Ken answered that as a joke intentionally., If you follow him on Twitter, you'll know he can have a naughty streak in his sense of humor.

  • A whore accepts money for sex. How is that the same as "Immoral pleasure seeker"? Choose slut (female rake?) or whore, one can't be both (maybe in her free time a whore could be a slut). Although I would have probably come up with the same (wrong) answer. But ho doesn't have a different definition than whore, so yeah. Wrong answer.

  • definitley shoulda been hoe

  • i woulda said hoe aswell

  • Nor am I a "grammar Nazi." I have not concerned myself with sentence structure or syntax. Word definitions are not "grammar." Ken got it wrong. Hilarious moment. He went on to clean, so to speak, everyone's clock, as a Jeopardy champion -- just not at this moment.

  • But...when I saw the answer that's the question that immediatly came to mind. It's a perfectly valid responce.

  • Hoe does not equal "ho."

  • @AegisNova I understand learning english, but to be fair - Nobody uses rake to classify someone as an immoral pleasure seeker anymore. It's basically a dead association. Bloody grammar nazi.

  • @MidnightOutlaw Just because no one uses the definition in the vernacular, anymore, doesn't invalidate the definition. A hoe is a garden implement, or tool...but all across the Internet, at the beginning of the 21st century, "hoe" is used as a derivative of "whore." It's not correct. Neither can I find a definition of "whore" which involves seeking pleasure. If I was wrong about this, Alex and the judges would have awarded the question to Ken.

  • it's ho's as in ho, ho ho.

  • If any of you would have bothered to pay attention in English class, you wouldn't be so stumped, here. Hoe = garden tool. "Ho" = derivative of whore. Rake = garden tool or a dissolute or profligate person, especially a man who is licentious; roué. Read a book, people.

  • @AegisNova sorry I forgot to take 'nobody gives a shit 101'

  • @mtrenchandeminem You've made that abundantly apparent.

  • How the fuck is it a rake and not a hoe??

  • The reason why hoe can't be accepted is because it's spelled differently from ho, which is "immoral" version.

  • ken jennings can do whatever he wants on jeopardy..as seen here..in round 1 he has a cash total that's often seen going into final jeopardy!

  • in addition to my post below, do you call a lawnmower a "gardening tool"? I hope not...

  • yeah, I stand by the "hoe is a better answer" - my original reason? rake is not (at least currently) a term for an immoral pleasure seeker, so if it's old fashioned, then since when does Jeopardy not say "old-fashioned term"? my new reason after thinking it through more? Hoes are used in the garden, rakes are used in the yard...therefore, a hoe is a long-handled gardening tool, and a rake is a long-handled yard or lawn tool...Jeopardy = MAJOR FAIL on this one...

  • i remember when this ep aired..and i also answered ho. i feel like he got that

  • Yeah, they should have given him the points for 'hoe'.

  • I thought Hoe. o_ o

  • I bet Sean Connery was like..... 'Dammit Trebek, why do you have to be such a rake!"

  • A rake??? That was a setup.

  • the guy just wants to know what a hoe is... give him a break

  • Look at the other people's scores. Even if he wasn't Ken Jennings he wouldn't care.

    Awesome.

  • And all he's thinking is "Hell I'll make a joke even if it costs me $200"

  • At least he won on that episode

  • Umm.. wouldn't Hoe be a correct answer?

  • I agree with Peter Griffin, the answer was Batman. LOL

  • LOL @ HOE

  • Rake, eh? I've heard that term once in 22 years, the term "ho" about... eh... 600 times. Whatever.  I thought cheese was the answer.

  • who cares hes wuppin them

  • A rake is an old fashioned term, found in a lot of old bodice ripper stories when a mother or girl friend warns the innocent young thing not to ake up with the immoral pleasure seeker. "He's just a rake."

  • Since when was "rake" a term for "immoral pleasure seeker"?

  • What? That wuld be a HUGELY common answer, i mean, WHO THE FUCK WULD THINK OF RAKE?! Apparently Al wuld....

  • trebec wanted to say correct soooo bad

  • 0:07 woooaaah wooooooooooooaahhhhh wooooaah

  • Come on, now, that was totally his win!

  • Fuck Jeopardy..Yall set him up!!! pshh Rake my black ass

  • haha the other two people are in the red so he pretty much is just like fuck it, whats a hoe

  • "What is a hoe" then smirks. He knew what he was doing.

  • I thought hoe too... They should have given him that one lol.

  • I would have said the same thibg

  • How does a rack bring pleasure?

  • @Ostnizdasht206 i thought he said Rake but..

  • @MrNellie2200 Typo

  • Ho = short/slang for 'hooker'.

    Hoe = garden tool.

    So no, he's not technically correct. The two words are pronounced the same but have different meanings. But that's okay, 'cause he's freaking hilarious :D

  • ...they should've gave him points for that, it's technically correct.

  • wtf hoe is just as valid

  • hoe is definitely correct trebek lmao!!

  • that is the correct answer. Stupid political correctness bullshit. I've never heard the word "rake" used for a loose woman.

  • @truboricua That's because it's not a tern used to describe a loose woman. It's synonymous with words like "libertine" and "profligate", usually used to describe men with a lot of money who squander it on (immoral) pleasures. It definitely fits with the clue a lot more than "hoe" does, although Ken's answer was still funny because it could work too.

  • I agree, judges should have eccepted that answer

  • BULLSHIT Alex! The answer WAS hoe!

  • who the fuck wouldve guessed rake?!

  • who wouldn't have said hoe

  • lol hoe is definitly a better answer than a rake.

  • How many people were thinking hoe too?

  • It actually makes sense...since when is a rake a pleasure seeker, huh?

  • a rake is an immoral pleasure seeker? Hoe is a WAY more accurate answer...lame.

  • Comment removed

  • @jeffgrever Your an idiot, look up what a rake is. A hoe is NOT a more accurate answer.

  • @ghilliemann They are both correct though.

  • @jeffgrever That's business not pleasure. If you think otherwise I highly suggest you try the job.

  • yeah this guy was on jeopardy for a long long time, he probably decided to have a little fun at it since he had such a pressing lead

  • lol he did it on purpose he had a smile on his face when he said it

  • Oh come on. He was right.

  • Comment removed

  • HE WAS RIGHT

  • He did it for the Funnies!! lol

  • And he had to of known the real answer! Some jokes are just to good to pass up haha

  • A cheap ho---only cost Ken $200!

  • Haha, it's completely legit, I mean, that is a gardening tool

  • what's wrong with his answer?

  • Hoe is a reasonable response. what's that jingle, something rake and a hoe?!?

  • I thought, "hoe" but then discounted it because a prostitute wouldn't be seeking sexual favors but giving them. It was Alex's mind that was off kilter. I think he teases Ken a lot because Ken's Mormon and they are supposed to be so stict about their beliefs. I was. Some are and some are Jack Mormon's. Belong to the church but don't live it. But I do think Alex should have backed off. Just was rude. You don't tease people about their religion.

  • NEW VIDEO:

    "Obama QUITTING! Going on JEOPARDY!

    CLICK ObamaSnippetsDotCom

  • He was from Utah?

  • That's not a slip of the tongue, I've never heard someone say a rake was an immoral pleasure seaker.

  • @cheddercheese99 That's because it's a word used in the 1700's. Around then anyway. I'd bet you're not THAT old are you? lol I've never thought of a rake being defined like that but it makes sense. A little iffy. A rake could be a gambler, a son who just lives for his own pleasures, etc. My opinion but I'm going on some of the books I've read when someone calls a man a rake. This almost wasn't fair. No one uses that term today.

  • rake??

  • Classic.

  • that should def have been the right answer

  • where's sean connery to say "your mother"

  • isnt a ho, another word for a rake? its the same general idea i'm pretty sure

  • Hoe does not equal Ho (or whore) but yeah, I'd give him 2x points for such an epic response

  • @leviathan85 What are you talking about? They don't equal each other but neither does rake. The word hoe can mean the definitions given. That answer rake was bs and just politically correct. That other guy knew he probably would've said hoe himself but had the time to rethink of a different answer. That lady probably didn't buzz in cause she was thinking hoe too. Alex probably knew it was hoe too but just had to try to make the guy feel bad.

  • @WillGotti Rake has two different meanings. Hoe does not mean both definitions given because it's not the same word as 'ho'. This isn't rocket science.

  • lol that was great (^_^)

  • Hoe was a very legitimate answer.

  • Ya hoe was correct. Ill take update your termenology to this century. For 200 Alex...

  • THE ANSWER IS A HOE. JEOPARDY CHECK UR FACTS. I MEAN WHAT IS CHECKING UR FACTS?

  • Thats bull crap, that is the best answer for that question period.

  • HOW IS HOE NOT RIGHT? LOL

  • Judges?

    Yes, that is acceptable.

  • ...that's still a right answer.

  • It's still funny the fifteenth time through.

  • It's not even that he won, his opponents were too dumb not to be in the red.

  • I think with all that money he had, he decided to crack a joke. I think he knew that the answer was rake lol.

  • i was thinking the same thing

  • i think ho sounds better

  • That guy won 75 times in a row...

  • he totally did that on purpose...and it was totally worth the loss of money.

  • @HRRyan2 totally...

  • "What's a hoe?"

    "No... Whooooooo, they teach you that in school in Utah, huh?"

    This guy is crzy :)

  • I would've said hoe too.

  • @harajukugirl132 So would I!! Beyond that, if I had been the host, I would have accepted that answer!

  • @karlakor I mean, maybe it wasn't the answer they wanted, but it makes perfect sense. Anyways, getting to say that on tv would've made losing the points worth it. (:

  • He knew the answer was wrong but he wanted to say it anyway. Look at the scores he could afford a wrong answer. Also look at his face right after he said it, he was smiling because he knew what he said.

  • they set that question up like that so someone says ho

  • that aint no slip, he said exactly what he meant.

  • he should have picked famous titties for 400!

  • who the fuck wrote this answer?

  • what the hell he was right all the way!!

  • @birdman5050 So, pimping & slapping a (male) gigolo (who date women) makes the pimp Gay?

    You may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but you're definitely a TOOL. 'Cause yo mama's a ho and yo daddy is a rake. How's that for accuracy?

  • Judges? (BZZZZZZZZZTTT)

  • @birdman5050 OK, correction: Yo daddy's a rake. Rake never referred to Gays.

    Wikipedia:

    A rake, short for rakehell, is a historic term applied to a man who is habituated to immoral conduct, frequently a heartless womanizer. Often a rake was a man who wasted his (usually inherited) fortune on gambling, wine, women and song.

    The rake was also frequently a man who seduced a young woman and impregnated her before leaving, often to her social or financial ruin

    So, more like a scoundrel than a Fag.

  • Rake is correct. I use it all the time:

    My rake better have ALL my money, or Yo mama's a rake, or I won't hesitate to pimp slap my rakes.

  • I don't think hoe is properly defined as an immoral pleasure seeker.

  • SNL Sean Connery would have said, "Whatsh your muthah?"

  • Shut up Alex!

  • I would've said 'Ho' too.

    I've never heard of a 'Rake' in relation to an immoral pleasure seeker.

  • Ummm...I ABSOLUTELY would have said "Hoe" as well! WTF???? The ONLY answer for that question is HOE! Rake?? F-that shit! I call SHENANIGANS on Jeopardy!!! they WANTED someone to say Hoe!!! The question TOTALLY BEGGED for the answer of "Hoe!" it would be like saying "Something that can be hairy and smelly that ends in "UNT" and then answering with the C-word and having Alex say "The word was AUNT you FREAK!"

  • Hell, I honestly thought hoe was right. They seriously shouldve seen that coming.

  • Right answer!

  • wtf man he got it right..If there are 2 correct answers for a question why the fuck is it on the board..LAWLZ

  • It was not a slip of the tongue. It is actually a correct answer. This is a fail on Jeopardy's part.

  • I still don't see how he was wrong .

  • trick question!

  • rake my ass it was a hoe!!!!=D

  • well... he was right you know...

  • typical nasty attitude towards prostitutes.

  • @alSation81...Typical nasty prostitute against attitudes

  • @GWphr34k I don't know what you mean, but prostitution is legal in Australia so you don't get such nasty sentiments towards them here

  • Hoe fits,

  • Hahaha, wow. I miss Ken Jennings.

  • Shit that's wut I would've said

  • ‹(•¿•)› I actually thought *HOE* was the better answer!

  • i thought the answer to was called a hoe.

    lol

  • this guy is in every interesting jepordy video...no joke

  • yeah like the writers didnt think hoe also

  • It may not have been the answer they were looking for, but the guys was right nonetheless.

  • Hoe was the first thing that popped in my head too.

  • i remember seeing this when it was on tv rofl

  • "Hoe" would have been my answer also.

  • What the fuck? lol I mean i think a rake is a Ho but a term like 200 years ago. The announcer is stupid for his reaction!

  • how the fuck is a rake an immoral pleasure seeker?

    that first guy was completely right..

  • @PlayStation360Gamer He's not "that first guy", he's Ken Jennings.

  • @PlayStation360Gamer

    Clearly you have never read those cheap regency novels with the half naked men and the swooning women on the cover XD They are full of rakes.

  • isn't that answer correct?

  • I don't understand why was it a rake.

  • He had enough money won to test the waters as a stand up comedian.  Earlier he did his impression of Sean Connery and remarked "We meet again Trebek."

  • funny thing is, I definitely would have thought that too.

  • there is a HOE and then there is a HO...uhm so im sure its right!!!

  • Lmao! gotta go with ken on that one

  • He won anyway most likely, other scores were terrible

  • 0:10 look at the scores lmao

  • Lol I would've said the same thing.

  • LOL it's the NIPPLE! fuckyouallintheass contestant!

  • Not a slip of the tounge. An imporal pleasure seeker IS A Hoe.

  • wait...he was right!!!

  • exactly. what's a rake?

  • wtf is a rake?

  • @Cheeso33 Morals differs between people. Morals are principles set from familys and friends. By saying something is immoral, it's simply stating that we are breaking our moral principles. We cannot say what is "moral" and what is not. For example : i could say if killing was immoral. You probably agree. I could then say if killing someone immoral if you did it to protect your self or your family. That is a question only that person can answer. So is prostitution imomoral? depends on you.

  • Raking in the pleasure, raking in the ho's?

  • no slip here... it was a legitimate answer

  • @sadface0 he would have said hose

  • What sort of sick human fuck rather have sex with a rake than a hoe?

  • It's not a slip of the tongue. He was absolutely right.

  • I didn't know rakes immorally seek pleasure, poor things...
