Jeopardy contestant fails final question in the funniest way possible

Oh, Choyon. You so funny.

Jeopardy contestant fails final question in the funniest way possible

If you're going to fail, best to fail spectacularly.

That, at least, was the approach taken by a contestant on the TV game show Jeopardy, who was presented with a humdinger of a problem for his final question - but made the most of it!

To what question is the answer: "A Christian hymn and a Jewish holiday hymn are both titled this, also the name of a 2009 Tony-nominated musical."

A tough question - it needs a decent knowledge of hymns from two different faiths. But can our man do it?

No, of course not. But what happens next is classic.

Yep, our man Choyon Manjrekar hadn't the foggiest idea, so he threw out an answer to cheer up the viewers - Kinky Boots.

You funny guy, you.

No, Kinky Boots is not a cross-faith religious hymn. It is, however, a musical about a shoemaker who saves the family business with the help of a drag queen.

Close enough.
