Ken Jennings apologizes for sexist 'Jeopardy!' clue about girls who wear glasses

Ken Jennings, host of "Jeopardy!", apologized for a clue referencing a Dorothy Parker quote about girls who wear glasses. The clue was criticized as sexist by some viewers, prompting Jennings to acknowledge its problematic nature during the episode. The clue appeared in a category called "Complete the Rhyming Phrase." Jennings delivered the quote, and contestant Will Wallace agreed it was problematic. The incident occurred shortly after lawsuits were filed against "Jeopardy!" for gender and race discrimination. The quote has been used on the show multiple times since 1985, but this was its first appearance in over a decade. Reactions on social media were mixed, with some viewers supporting the quote's inclusion while others criticized the choice and Jennings' response.
