Jeopardy! Contestant Walks Off Stage After Missing Celine Dion Question

Drew Goins, who had humorously thanked Celine Dion earlier in the show, failed to answer a $2,000 clue about the singer during the Champions Wildcard tournament.

  • Drew Goins, a Washington Post journalist, competed in Jeopardy's Champions Wildcard tournament and humorously thanked Celine Dion during his introduction.
  • Goins was stumped by a $2,000 clue about Dion's 1994 hit, 'The Power of Love,' under the category '’90s No. 1 Hits.'
  • After failing to answer the clue, Goins briefly walked off the stage before returning to receive a hug from a fellow contestant.
  • Goins jokingly explained his error by noting he was born in 1994, the same year the song topped the charts.
  • Despite the blunder, Goins secured second place in the tournament and is set to compete in the upcoming Tournament of Champions quarterfinals on February 3.
