The most popular quiz show on television is Jeopardy!, where the most quick-witted and knowledgeable contestants respond to hints that confound most home viewers.
However, one seemingly simple clue regarding the Lord’s Prayer baffled all three contestants in a recent episode, much to the surprise of several Christian fans.
The $200 clue—the smallest and often easiest amount on the board—was read during the June 13 program by host Mayim Bialik in the category “Dadjectives.”

“Matthew 6:9 says, ‘Our Father Which Art In Heaven’, This ‘Be Thy Name.’”
Anyone who remembers learning the Lord’s Prayer in Sunday school will be familiar with the answer, which is “hallowed” (or rather, “what is hallowed,” per Jeopardy! regulations).
Even answers that seem simple on Jeopardy! sometimes confound participants, but the fact that no one understood one of the most popular prayers in Christianity seems to have touched a nerve among the faithful.

“Not one contestant on Jeopardy last night knew the answer to this…Are you waking up yet?” one Twitter user wrote.
“The Lord’s Prayer growing up was like knowing The Pledge of Allegiance. You just did,” one tweet says.
“While it may not be a sign of the end times, if DEFINITELY speaks volumes about Americans and their faith…or lack of,” another wrote.
