Not everyone on the show knew that the final answer was the Toronto Raptors. Even Alex Trebek seemed a little surprised when one of the contestants guessed that the answer was the Minnesota Timberwolves.

After the clip aired, social media users were quick to poke fun at the contestant’s easy flub.
“Bruh Timberwolves aren’t extinct #jeopardy,” one Twitter user wrote.
Others felt that the question wasn’t worded properly. Several commenters, including one at Deadspin, noted that the Raptors primary logo doesn’t always feature an animal, but rather a basketball.
The “Jeopardy,” moment became the latest clip from the show to go viral. In February 2017, a clip of Alex Trebek reading rap lyrics became a huge online hit.
