Miracle on 'Jeopardy!': Show suppresses question on Jesus' birthplace, but it airs anyway - WND
"The popular game show "Jeopardy" is admitting it tried to suppress a question about the birthplace of Jesus being in Bethlehem, Israel, throwing out the clue entirely, though it still miraculously made it on the air.
Controversy erupted after the program that aired Friday, Jan. 10, as one category was "Where's that church?" Program host Alex Trebek noted of that category, "You have to give us the present country." the $200 clue stated: "BUILT IN THE 300s A.D., THE CHURCH OF THE NATIVITY."
Katie Needle, the returning champion from Brooklyn, New York, was first on her signaling device, incorrectly answered, "What is Palestine?"
That's when fellow contestant, Jack McGuire of San Antonio, Texas, responded correctly with: "What is Israel?"
The show tried to replace the allegedly "flawed" Israel clue with another clue that read: "Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe," the correct response for which would be: "What is Mexico?" because of "human error in post-production," as the producers call it, that revised version of the show never made it to air, and the Israel answer was broadcast."
