“#LeVar Burton ‘Jeopardy!’ Champion Branded ‘Most Annoying Ever’ By Viewers<\/strong>”
\n<\/p>\n

Jeopardy!<\/em> is rolling on with LeVar Burton at the helm this week, but it\u2019s current champion Matt Amodio who is getting fans talking.<\/p>\n

The Phd student from New Haven, Connecticut, is currently on a six-game<\/a> winning streak and has earned the respect of many viewers for his trivia knowledge. However, Amodio has a certain quirk when answering questions that is starting to get under some people\u2019s skin.<\/p>\n

Everyone knows that the format of Jeopardy!<\/em> requires contestants to answer in the form of a question, but Amodio seems to have a problem differentiating his \u201cwhat\u2019s\u201d from his \u201cwho\u2019s.\u201d For example, when the answer is a person\u2019s name, like Anna Faris or John Cleese, which we saw on Wednesday\u2019s show, Amodio said \u201cwhat\u2019s Faris\u201d and \u201cwhat\u2019s Cleese\u201d rather than \u201cwho\u2019s Faris\u201d or \u201cwho\u2019s Cleese.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI am impressed with Matt on Jeopardy<\/em> but he uses \u201cWhat\u2019s\u201d regardless of if the answer is a thing or a person \u2014 for a few nights now. Shouldn\u2019t a person always be \u201cwho\u201d?!?\u201d said one frustrated Twitter<\/a> user. Others went as far as to say Amodio was \u201cthe most annoying contestant ever\u201d for this bad habit.<\/p>\n

Can someone PLEASE tell Matt it\u2019s not \u201cwhat\u201d when referring to a person? #Jeopardy<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Is Matt the most annoying contestant ever? Is it so hard to say \u201cwho is\u201d? or \u201cmake it a true daily double\u201d? #Jeopardy<\/a><\/p>\n

Who is the single most unwatchable champion in #Jeopardy<\/a> history? Answer: What is Matt.<\/p>\n

Matt seems like a nice guy, but he keeps saying \u201cWhat\u2019s\u201d instead of \u201cWhat is\u201d or \u201cWho is\u201d or \u201cWhat are,\u201d and it\u2019s driving me crazy. Congrats to him, though.#Jeopardy<\/a>#HireLeVarBurton<\/a><\/p>\n

Matt knows a lot of stuff but not how to use the word \u201cwho\u201d. #jeopardy<\/a>!<\/p>\n

However, not everyone seemed to mind Amodio\u2019s app<\/a>roach, as fans were just happy to see such an impressive champion. It\u2019s been a while since a contestant has gone on a run like this, and so the New Haven native received high praise for his Jeopardy!<\/em> skills.<\/p>\n

\u201cY\u2019all better get used to and get over hearing \u201cWhat\u2019s\u201d because I think Matt\u2019s going to be on Jeopardy! for a while. And I\u2019m here for it,\u201d tweeted one viewer.<\/p>\n
