Host Mayim Bialik read the clue, and all three contestants buzzed in with the correct answer, but their pronunciation was off. The ruling sparked a debate among fans, with some saying it was unfair, while others thought it was justified. Bialik has exited the show in support of the ongoing Writers Guild of America strike, and co-host Ken Jennings will take over.
