When all three contestants on this week’s “Jeopardy!” failed to recognize The Lord’s Prayer, plenty of social media users took it as a sign that the country is doomed, or that people needed to be listening to more heavy metal.
The answer to the $200 question, “Our father, who art in heaven, [this] be thy name,” was “hallowed,” but neither Suresh Krishnan, Laura Blyler or Joe Seibert buzzed in to try to answer it.
The prayer, which is from the book of Matthew in the Christian Bible, has inspired many songs, including Iron Maiden’s 1982 track “Hallowed Be Thy Name.” “How can those Jeopardy! nerds not know this answer. Have they never listened to Iron Maiden?” a Twitter user joked.
