A Hawaii-based journalist competed in the 'Jeopardy!' 2025 Champions Wildcard tournament, where he faced a surprising setback when he missed a question about Celine Dion, the singer he had just publicly thanked. The contestant's awkward encounter highlights the unpredictable nature of the quiz show.
Drew Goins , a Hawaii-based journalist who competed in the ' Jeopardy! ' 2025 Champions Wildcard tournament, experienced a rather awkward moment when he missed a question about Celine Dion , the singer he had just given a special shout-out to earlier in the episode. Goins' unexpected stumble came during a $2,000 question from the '90s No. 1 Hits' category. 'Sharing its title with an earlier, more upbeat Huey Lewis hit, it was No. 1 for Celine Dion in 1994,' Jennings read.
Despite his earlier tribute, Goins appeared visibly flustered and hesitated before buzzing in. He, along with the other contestants, were unable to provide the correct answer, and time ran out, prompting Jennings to jokingly remark, 'Oh, she's going to be mad, Drew.' Following the missed question, Goins left the podium in mock exasperation, pretending to walk off the set. Jennings eventually revealed the answer, stating, 'Like Huey Lewis, Celine Dion sang a song called 'The Power of Love.'” Goins' 'Jeopardy!' journey continued, however, as he ultimately secured a place in the upcoming tournament. This wasn't Goins' only brush with a challenging music question. He also faltered when faced with an $800 question about Taylor Swift's music. Despite these setbacks, Goins emerged as the runner-up in the final of the Champions Wildcard tournament, winning a prize of $40,000. This achievement allowed him to advance to the upcoming 'Jeopardy!' tournament, showcasing his resilience and knowledge despite the occasional stumble
