Taking to the Alex Trebek stage, host Mayim Bialik opened tonight's game with the clue: "This funny man and former fiance was one of those who inspired Ariana Grande's song, Thank U, Next."

Viewers were then shown a full-screen picture of the SNL comedian.

The clue referred to Pete's high profile relationship with singer Ariana Grande, 28, although he is now more well-known for dating reality star Kim, 41.

His relationship with the SKIMS mogul has caused a very public rift between him and Kim's rapper ex Kanye West, 44.

Addressing the well-known beef, one fan on Twitter joked: "Kanye threw his TV, first Jeopardy! question."

Another wrote: "Pete Davidson was the first answer of Jeopardy! and they HAD to feature a big ole picture of him!"

A third remarked: "The 5 seconds of fame Ariana Grande gave Pete Davidson turned him into an a/b list celebrity. That’s crazy."

Meanwhile one viewer gushed: "Pete Davidson was just the answer to a Jeopardy! question, I’m screaming of joy."

GAMESHOW GUIDICE

It's not the first time recently that the showbiz world has featured in a Jeopardy! clue.

Last month, fans were stunned by a rare question about RHONJ's Teresa Giudice.

The clue, from a Reality TV category, read: "Teresa Giudice and Melissa Gorga dealt with some seriously unreal situations as 'Real Housewives' of this state."

While Mattea Roach correctly buzzed in with "What is: New Jersey," fans buzzed in with "What is: happening?"

"#RHONJ was a Jeopardy answer tonight," acknowledged one Twitter user.

"New Joisey #Jeopardy," tweeted another.

Some fans have speculated that Ken may get the job, due to Mayim's commitments filming her sitcom, Call Me Kat.

Many have expressed their preference for the former champ, describing him as the "natural" host of the show.
