Thu Jan 30 09:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Jeopardy! Contestant’s Hilarious Céline Dion Blunder Leads to Tournament of Champions
**New York, NY** – Drew Goins, a Hawaii-based journalist, experienced a memorable, albeit slightly embarrassing, moment during the Jeopardy! 2025 Champions Wildcard tournament. After publicly thanking Céline Dion earlier in the episode, Goins spectacularly failed to answer a question about one of the singer’s number one hits.
The $2000 question, referencing a 1994 number one song with the same title as an earlier Huey Lewis hit, stumped Goins, who blamed his 1994 birth year for his inability to recall “The Power of Love.” His flustered reaction and the ensuing joke from host Ken Jennings provided a humorous moment for viewers.
Despite the Dion-related setback, Goins secured second place in the Wildcard tournament, winning $40,000 and earning a spot in the upcoming Tournament of Champions. He’ll compete in the quarterfinals on February 3rd. This isn’t Goins’ first brush with pop culture trivia on Jeopardy!; he previously redeemed himself after a Taylor Swift question miss, correctly answering a question about her “1989” album in a later episode. The story highlights the unpredictable nature of trivia and the often-hilarious consequences of live television.
