Ken Jennings is feeling a bit of thirsty, apparently.
This week, the “Jeopardy!” host made an NSFW joke on Twitter, and it sent some fans right into a tizzy.
Jennings reposted a screenshot of an article from Fox News about Anji Nyquist, a “Jeopardy!” champion who had been named the “hottest contestant ever” by fans and recently spoke about their requests for her to hitch OnlyFans.
The article had used a solo photo of Jennings at his hosting desk to accompany the headline — which he clearly got a kick out of.
“Let me stress that I haven’t made my decision yet,” the host joked in a message on the social media platform.
The Post has reached out to Jennings’ representatives for comment (and maybe a call).
In response, some game show fans gave the impression to be intrigued by the potential of a Jennings’ OnlyFans page.
“Now that’s one I’d subscribe to,” one user cheekily wrote.
One other agreed, saying, “Give the people what they need, Ken.”
“It’s essential to have multiple streams of income,” another person suggested.
Nevertheless, others were delay by the host’s antics.
“God I hope it is a joke!!!” one “Jeopardy!” fan wrote.
Someone else seconded: “What’s YIKES!”
It looks like Jennings drew some inspiration from Nyquist, who won the competition on July 5.
She recently told the Sun that after her appearance on the show, she took to Instagram to do a Q+A session for fans in order that they might get to know her higher.
But what happened after that was a bit more scandalous than a typical “Jeopardy!” episode.
“I did an ‘ask me anything,’” she told the outlet. “And there have been loads of individuals who asked, ‘Would you do an OnlyFans? It could be really popular.’”
Nyquist continued, explaining that she was “flattered” by the suggestion but was a bit weirded out by the range of comments she received.
“You’re gonna get some nice people, and also you’re gonna get some creeps,” she said. “I actually have been getting DMs from random men.”
Meanwhile, as this current Season 39 of “Jeopardy!” begins to wrap up, some fans are frightened about how the continued Writers Guild of America (WGA) strike will affect Season 40 of the series.
As a result of the strike, there aren’t any clues which were written for the following season.
In May, while they were filming for this season, the sport show’s other co-host, Mayim Bialik, walked off the set in support of the strike.
Jennings took over her hosting duties to wrap up the ultimate week of filming but was criticized by “The Big Bang Theory” star Wil Wheaton for crossing the picket line.
“This can be a VERY small town, Ken Jennings, and we’ll all remember this,” the “Star Trek: The Next Generation” actor Wheaton wrote in a Facebook post on the time. “Your privilege may protect you immediately, but we’ll *never* forget.”
