What's a Ho?

[jarjarbanks22]

I love how hoe is a more logical, relevant answer than rake yet they act like he just committed blasphemy.

[TheJames74s]

NOW That Thire is LOL! :)

[char908]

a hoe costed him $200 ...i cant stand when ppl put the sign after the number..

[xzor899]

wait, how the hell is that not the right answer?

[Nagi21]

@xzor899 Ho is technically a slang word (the dictionary only lists the expression used in such things such as 'land ho!') while a Rake is a term coined back in the 1700's for spies and underground individuals which tended to indulge pleasures available to the wealthy only.

[KidOnTheNet]

no.

[PubliusAfricanus]

It's a correct answer, too. Alex should have gone to the judges.

[jsdpe]

Even with all the money that he won, they still owe him $400.

[Omnisprime]

But the first guy was right on the money!

[Zerobob26]

OOOhhhh, NAGGERS.

[IndecentGiraffe]

How is rake an immoral pleasure seeker

[nickmario88]

Geuss I know where all that money`s going to.

[LordCorinth]

notice he has 14 grand and the others are in debt by a couple hundred? who's winning now? suck it trebek!

[funnorthwestboy]

I love his reaction - grins, then bows his head like a bad little kid.

[Shoe3003]

$200 for an easy laugh is pocket change well-spent to someone like him

[TheHellolinda]

Ken was right

[maynesmanes]

a rake wtf? i have never heard that in my life

[eadrahc]

and i have neve heard the term rake for a loose person,lol

[eadrahc]

he gave the right answer though,lol

[megatajikistan2]

People that annoy you: N_GGERS

[MrGINGERale721]

@megatajikistan2 southpark ftw!

[DeathDalek193]

@megatajikistan2 i'd like to buy a vowel!

[xstevenmaox]

Only Ken. Lol.

[midarkmind]

That fat guy who took his question knows what a hoe is too. Thats all that he can get because hes fat and old!

[InconceivablyWicked]

He might have gotten the question wrong, but he's got the most money.

[lifeluver13]

my friend just texted me this and i said hoe too! and i'm from OHIO so therefor, Ken was right :)

[AliasXBeoulve]

Rake? This is why mostly just older people watch Jeopardy. Outdated terms that people have never heard used other than to describe a gardening tool. And fuck Alex Trebec making fun of him like that. For being normal and thinking Ho.

[ds12z]

Lol, hoe should've worked there. It's a lot better than rake too.

[beammeup75]

he got it exactly fucking right

[HappyHooker83]

As a womyn, I am offended! Sykkkeee!!!

[shinnok001]

then should santa be saying "rake rake rake"?

[farthaha123]

ho isnt cool but rape is????

[DigiFluid]

@farthaha123 *facepalms*

Time to invest in some q-tips, bud.

[farthaha123]

@DigiFluid

/:( <mfw you didnt get that it was a joke

[Kyogrerok]

@farthaha123

The man in the video said 'rake'.

[farthaha123]

@Kyogrerok it was a joke.

[Ander00nie]

he was so right. they robbed him $200

[kingkongbassbeat]

Thats what your mom was last night Trebek!

[VvAndromedavV]

LOL Ken is so funny.

[TheCrimsonChao]

Well, Rake is apparently used to refer to someone who blows their money on gambling, wine, and woman, so...

[missingnote]

"They teach you that in school in Utah, huh?" lol

[SeriouslySmart]

Best 200 dollars ever spent

[vampirebatlord4ever]

@SeriouslySmart lol, best one here^^

[cod5x]

Realy that was defiantly correct rake might of been correct 50 years ago

[demonhuskfang]

but it works!

[patrick13ify]

Lmao! It's a ho not a rake!! C'mon man!!

[Thereviewser]

Really?

"Dude did you see B.T.?"

"Nah, why?"

"He was out with some nasty rakes last night!"

[digla33]

Bros before rakes?

[Faeness]

....But that was the right answer..

[1mtk]

I remember watching this live. I too said hoe. Lmao.

[LycoValleyRRFan]

rake wtf?

[Trashfished]

@LycoValleyRRFan possibly the rake is a gambling term whereby the "house" gets thier cut.

[ExoKiller4]

I think that's more correct, actually.

[Limecitrone]

Hahahahaha

[uwlwsrpm]

Actually Alex, I think it's taught in schools everywhere.

[ribbitgrl]

That was HILARIOUS

[Grooverfc]

He said that shit proudly!

[FinalFantasyAerith]

He knew the answer xD He was just looking to be funnier and I think it was worth it xD

[grandtheftauto5588]

KEBERT XELA!!!

[cdfenn]

a rake is cheaper than a ho, apparently

[JimHadar1]

I like Ken's answer better. I mean, whens the last time you heard anyone actually called a Rake outside of some old movie from the 30s or 40s??

[TheRhinehart86]

He should have got that

[SCX2k]

i really thought its hoe when i heard the question...

[MrVagSlayer]

who calls a ho a rake?

[SilverSword522]

thumbs up if you think it should be ho

[AEMoreira81]

Ken Jennings is a wise man - that HO only cost him $200!

[Verendus0]

Everyone asserting that "ho" is correct because prostitutes are totally in it for the pleasure probably also believed her when she said it was the best she ever had, the naive fools.

[NilsMcCloud]

@Verendus0 That remark made me laugh so hard.

[JR720musicfan]

That's exactly what I would have said! Thumbs up if you would have to!

[Kosmicd12]

@JR720musicfan id never even heard the term "rake" lol

[courtknee649]

Hahaha I would have said ho too

[LobsterRoc]

That guy is a legend.

[teamguido555]

Lmfao Ken had like $15,000 and the other two people were in the red! XD

[theguyi26]

wtf, hella unfair, multiple correct answers that guy should've gotten it

[BlueAx]

That was my guess.

[Motive11331]

Agreed: that's an acceptable answer. One means a man, the other a woman. Way to go Jeopardy.

[FarmFreshDX]

That's honestly not fair, they are the same thing and the question is correct both ways.

[xXEatTheRainbowXDXx]

LOL XD

[thepepper191]

What happend i fell a sleep

[Zskillit]

That answer was right....

[Fade2blak101]

O, naggers, naggers yes......

[ulongkoror]

a hoe costed him 200$

[CptPicard832]

@ulongkoror so true

[isaac12191]

AAARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA­AAA---HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

[SuperKobe24fan]

whats a rake?

[ahausmann0788]

i dont see how he got it wrong lol

[dstebbin]

He should have gotten credit for that one; ho meets both of them!

[OmfgFunnyVids]

Lolololololol!!!!!!

[eratosphenes]

yea that failed itself into a win.

[thegammageek1]

That was such a fail I do believe it may have actually been a win.

[baghead727]

Hoe and ho are two different words.. Ho refers to whore and hoe is for gardening.

[CanielDonrad]

Honestly this should have been specified further, a Ho refers to a female a Rake refers to a male. The statement mentioned neither, therefore Ho should have counted.

[mjc0961]

The other two guys are both in the negative, while he has almost $15,000. He's not the one you should be making fun of, Alex.

[ndaemon1718]

@wickvid i had no idea.. a year later. but yes. i did not realize there was actually a distinction there. thank you. learn something new every day eh :).

[tyrantcodex002]

lol but he is winning

[jkbrowns12]

That guy that said Ho played against Watson

[louddog56]

omg ho > rake its a ho!

[MrBarlieCharlie]

ho > rake

[ggmann13]

ho is also correct wtf

[PeeboTyson]

Well, I guess technically, a ho is immoral pleasure seller.

[ulongkoror]

a ho costed him 200$

[Decimator16]

i totally thought it was actually ho

[rationalfriend]

HE WAS RIGHT

[pengy1224]

----D <---- hoe

Vs----< <----- rake

[TerrorBlack]

@pengy1224 more like ----<Ξ

[pengy1224]

l

///l\\\  <--- rake ftw :P

[sillymonkey829]

He was owning them so bad he even had time to crack a joke! lol

[Hashpotato]

Fuck yo rake nigga.

[SakuraPetals106]

How the hell is it a rake?

[ulongkoror]

@SakuraPetals106

a drinker in some shakespear play

[DurrennV2]

Two possible answers. and one doesn't count. That's cool.

[frozenking07]

a rake is an immoral pleasure seeker?? In America its a Ho Alex!

[Volcanoclaw]

....rake?

[SuperboyConnerKent]

Rakes be trippin'.

[1001erickp]

What the hell that answer was correct. Not his fault they did not acknowledge it.

[JayT7]

A hoe is 100% correct

[sage1019]

what is a ho (ken voice)

[mclaxin9]

funny thing that is the guy that won a million + on that damn show

[monkayness]

FAIL

[GrnXnham]

Ho is the correct answer

[wolfgirl3440]

I so thought he was right! Hey Alex, ho could be an answer to that question!

[Slimmstarr51]

I thought he had it right lol

[abigail1771]

Hahaha

[EPFstrength5]

Wait that isnt the right answer?

[FatBlackPussycat]

They should've let him have that!

[foolishgrunt]

@FatBlackPussycat I'm surprised they didn't.

[azeem711]

Ken jen u were right thanx for makin us laugh

[CBR1100xx31]

lmao thought the same thing as Ken

[pegisis02]

hell yeah a rake..... where my rakes at???

[puffcock]

wat??? how the hell is a rake an immoral pleasurer thing???? clearly its a ho

[TheQuickdraw94]

@puffcock Somehow, there is an alternate definition for Rake. Look it up at dictionary(dot)reference(dot)c­om

[thegumballmachine]

A RAKE?????

[JokesterJackler]

56 people, are HO's!~

Its not dude, Its Double J to you!~

[JokesterJackler]

LOL!~ Hi-Lari-OUS!~ He was right hte first time I was thinking the same thing!~

Its not dude, Its Double J to you!~

[mrsclay1]

Funny ish ever! He said it right the first time!

[apextwin]

wtf is a rake?

[FortitudeOfHeaven]

His answer was correct!

[dble07]

Best part is...Ken's so smart he knew the answer, but went for the laughs instead...well done.

[heyitskelseylol]

The answer is both, technically. Ho is the more modern take, but rake is the more classic insult. Ho is also INFINITELY funnier.

[Thrawn369]

@heyitskelseylol

I don't know, a ho can just care about getting your money. If a rake's after your money he wants it to spend on absinthe, opium and ladies of negotiable virtue.

[leetfeetman]

@heyitskelseylol GAH!!!! ITS SPELT HOE!!!! and the CORRECT TERM! is Hoe! not RAKE! Trebek is stupid =.= thats why its called a GARDENNING HOE!!! NOT A RAKE!!! FAAAAIL! =.= WHO THE HELL CALLS AN IMMORAL PLEASURE SEEKER A RAKE!? PLUS THOSE TWO ARE TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOOLS! >.< i fail to see why he was shot down =.= a rake is like a claw and is used to clear leaves and such, or in a zen garden it is used to make waves, but a Gardenning Hoe is used to dig!!! ugh

[Chaytup]

@leetfeetman But a hoe is the tool, a 'ho' is the slang term for whore.

Rake is the same word for both meanings.

[leetfeetman]

@heyitskelseylol send me a link or whoever told you that "rake" is the "classic insult" =.= ugh this is why i hate jeopardy so much... the host is an idiot and the answers are even stupider than him!

[heyitskelseylol]

@leetfeetman Classic as in 'old.' Not classic as in 'always funny.' Calm down. It's just a game show.

[stampede122]

@heyitskelseylol definetly got everyone offguard

[Errickfoxy]

I really do like how it takes Trebek a moment to realize what the guy said.

[304Stephen]

I don't think anybody knows how rake is the correct answer.

[Trueshiriko]

Ho > Rake

[aazia123]

how the hell is it a rake?

[TokyoKing5]

wat the hell he was right it was the first thing that came to all of our minds

[Nova2618]

laughs..this what america is coming too

[dramaticallyhappy]

IT'S A HOE. MAKES PERFECT SENSE.

[ytfarmer90]

.... really?

[Zyun]

Dude wtf, he was right.

[GisforGorillaz]

makes perfect sense to me...

[vtc31]

Where ma rakes at?

,,,Nah

[JimboJ1981]

@vtc31 Best comment ever.

[H4rryluv3r]

As in tiger woods is a rake of the worst sort... :)

[bstreich23]

A rake is what someone called an immoral man.. in the old old days

[712Songs]

Oooo.....

a rake... as in the rake used to pull in your chips from the table... (i think)

I had to use Dictionary dot come

[hawanja]

That's bullshit. He shoulda got that.

When was the last time you called a some slutty bitch a "rake?"

[KidOnTheNet]

my jaw's gonna dislocate any moment now.... i've never laughed so hard before

[Patchworkdrum]

WTF?! WTF IS A RAKE?!?!?!

[richmo587]

What does a rake have to do with an immoral pleasure seeker???

[NCPilot]

How the Hel is "Rake" the right answer?

[ScatterQH]

[gangstagrillz87]
