Bo Knows, but these “Jeopardy!” contestants didn’t. 

For a brief moment Wednesday night, every sports fan in the world was smarter than the three participants on “Jeopardy!”

“Jeopardy!” viewers were shocked that an easy sports clue was not answered by any of the three players. 

The clue?

Under the category of multi-sport athletes: “A few career highlights: He won the Heisman at Auburn, ran for 221 yards in one game for the Raiders and was an AL All-Star.” 

The question, of course, was, “Who is Bo Jackson?” 

But none of the three brainiacs even attempted a guess. 

While winner Jackie Kelly missed the easy Bo Jackson clue for $800, she did increase her winning streak to four days and her total winnings to $115,000. Not too shabby, especially for someone who’s never seen Bo Jackson highlights.
