Ken Jennings returned to his Jeopardy! hosting duties on Monday, July 18, and cut right to the chase with a NSFW joke that left the contestants cringing and the viewers laughing.
The Jeopardy! G.O.A.T. took over from his co-host Mayim Bialik; the pair have been sharing the podium while the producers search for a permanent host. Jennings had previously told fans that he would be gone for “months”; however, he surprised viewers when he returned to the long-running game show on Monday.
While many were happy to see Jennings back, it was an off-color quip that had people talking. It came during a Double Jeopardy round under the category “Active Bible Verses”. The clue read, “Since no one had done this for 40 years, God told Joshua to get a knife and do this to male Israelites.”
Contestant Erica Weiner-Amanchi, a fourth-grade teacher from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, was the first to buzz in with the correct answer. “What is, circumcise?” she said.
Not missing a beat, Jennings replied, “That is correct. A painful $2000 for you,” as Weiner-Amanchi and her fellow competitors cringed and giggled at the host’s gag. Those watching at home were also laughing and took to social media to praise Jennings as host.
“Ken Jennings just made a circumcision joke on Jeopardy!, make him the official host already,” tweeted Men’s Health culture editor Evan Romano. “Probably just a coincidence, but @KenJennings is back one night and ‘shuttlecock,’ ‘circumcision’ and ‘bush’ are all Jeopardy! answers #WhatIsFreudian,” added writer and photojournalist Gregory Anderson.

The torch has been lit, and HBO Max’s “FBoy Island” is officially back. While three new women are on a journey to find love, they’ll also have to weed through 24 men — half of whom are self-proclaimed Nice Guys and half who consider themselves “F Boys.”
The series hails from creator and executive producer Elan Gale, who told TheWrap that he has some tricks up his sleeve for the second go-round.
“We have lots of surprises that are totally insane,” Gale teased, adding that this season’s Mansplaining (where the eliminated men get a chance to come back and air the remaining contestants’ dirty laundry before the women make their final decision) will be “like nothing I’ve ever seen before.”
After a decade of producing “The Bachelor” franchise, Gale isn’t shy about proclaiming his excitement to move from broadcast to a streaming service. Not only does he have the opportunity to build the reality dating competition of his dreams from scratch, he’s also able to push the limits far beyond what’s acceptable on ABC.
“We don’t really have to worry about censoring the more hilarious and lascivious parts of the show,” he said. “The show’s called “FBoy Island.” The F stands for f—. You’ll actually hear the word “f—boy” a lot more in Season 2 than in Season 1. I don’t imagine any broadcast network, no matter how much I love them, are gonna let us say “f—boy” between Bounty commercials.”
Below, Gale breaks down the anatomy of a great dating show and how “FBoy Island” meets the criteria.
Towards the end of Friday night's episode the Islanders were called to the firepit with the girls told to choose in a surprise recoupling.
Current couples Tasha and Andrew, Gemma and Luca and Dami and Indiyah stuck together.
As did Paige and Adam and Ekin-Su and Davide.
Danica picked new boy Jamie while Deji chose bombshell Lacey.
Newcomers Nathalia and Reece were left to couple up with each other.
But the drama wasn't over for the Islanders as viewers were then told there will be a public vote for the most compatible couple, and the Islanders with the least votes will be dumped.
Elsewhere Dami and Indiyah entered the romantic hideaway to spend the night together, while Ekin-Su and Nathalia got into a furious bust-up as the bombshell continued to make moves on Davide.

Oh and sticking with Love Island....
The Casa Amor beauty, 27, may not have found love in the villa, but she's not been short of offers since being dumped from the ITV2 dating show.
The graphic designer from Surrey said some famous faces have popped up in the DM's - including X Factor duo Jedward.
Coco was asked by a fan: " Who is the most famous person to slide into your DMs?"
Speaking to Grazia, the reality star revealed: "Jedward baby!
"And that was before I entered the villa. They slid in because my flatmate knows them and and she was like 'my flatmate's obsessed with you'.
"So they slid in and they were telling me how great I looked on the beach. I was like...yes!"
It comes after Coco revealed she has quit fame and returned to her day job.
Coco - who also works as a ring girl and a shot girl - said she will return to selling drinks in clubs later this month.
Unfortunately Coco did not find love in the villa after being coupled up with Andrew Le Page, 27, and was given the boot last week with Josh Le Grove, 22.

Before Rachel Riley, there was......Carol.
The former Countdown star, 61, said she was chuffed to be celebrating her daughter Katie's, 31, PhD graduation at Cambridge University today.
The mathematician beamed alongside her 25-year-old son Cameron from the back of a taxi.
Carol looked glamourous as ever in a white blouse, a gold and pearl statement necklace and a pair of shades.
She wore her blonde tresses loose and completed her stylish look with neutral makeup.
Carol captioned the photo: "Cam and I on our way to my girl's PhD graduation in @cambridgeuniversity today. @jesuscollegecam first for family lunch.... It's a beautiful day."

In a joint statement signed off with a kiss, Christine, 34, and Paddy, 48, said they aimed to be the "best parents they could be".

They wrote: "We hadn't planned on sharing this publicly until we were ready but after the lack of privacy surrounding our life personal life, we feel left with no other option but to clarify.

Production for “Jersey Shore 2.0” has been abruptly paused just two months after the original cast spoke out against the reboot.
An MTV spokesperson confirmed to TheWrap that production had been halted but did not provide further details. According to TMZ, the new cast had moved into the shore house and was ready to begin filming when the camera crews promptly left before anything had been shot.
“Jersey Shore 2.0” was announced in May. MTV made it clear in the release that the original cast members would not be featured, writing that the series “chronicles a new generation of share house roommates hitting the same famed beaches and boardwalks along the Atlantic to make new memories all summer long.”
The OG cast quickly denounced the new series. Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi, Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino, Pauly “DJ Pauly D” DelVecchio, Vinny Guadagnino, Jenni “JWoww” Farley, Angelina Pivarnick and Deena Nicole Cortese all shared an identical statement on social media after the news.
“As a cast that took a chance with a network in need, we put our most vulnerable moments on television for the world to see,” the statement read. “We gave our all over the past 13 years, became a family and continue to open our lives for the world. So please understand that we are not in support of a version that will exploit our original show, our hard work and authenticity to gain viewers.”
At the end of the statement, they plugged their own sequel series, “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation,” which began airing in June.
“Jersey Shore” ran for six seasons, ending in 2012. The cast reunited in 2018 for “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation.” Sammi Giancola was not part of the new series. Ronnie Ortiz-Magro had been involved before he stepped away due to his mental health.

LOS ANGELES (July 11, 2022) - Summer's most-anticipated programming event, Discovery Channel's Shark Week, returns for its historic 34th year on Sunday, July 24 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as its first Master of Ceremonies. Fans can expect 25 adrenaline-inducing original episodes that deliver never-seen footage of walking sharks, awe-inspiring breaches and more shocking predations captured on-camera by dedicated science and research field teams. Shark Week also features new and returning special guests including comedian Tracy Morgan, the stars of truTV's "Impractical Jokers," Sal Vulcano, James Murray, Brian Quinn, and the cast of "Jackass".

"I'm honored to be your first-ever Shark Week Master of Ceremonies. Our Seven Bucks Productions has partnered with Discovery to bring you a very special (and bad ass) Shark Week. I filmed exclusively in my home state of Hawaii, these beautiful predators, Aumakua (Gods), are deeply revered and respected in our Polynesian culture," said Dwayne Johnson via his official Instagram.
As the preeminent destination for shark programming, Discovery Channel's Shark Week takes audiences to new locations this year - from the Exuma Islands in the Bahamas to Papua New Guinea. Working with dozens of the world's most respected marine biologists and science institutions, the week's program slate spotlights innovative shark technology to further research about these elusive creatures and their mating and migration patterns, while also sharing findings of a new, undescribed species. New to this year's event, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will kick-off and close the first five nights with a special message that highlights what fans can expect to watch that evening and spark their interest to return the following night for more Shark Week fun. Each message will connect viewers to Johnson's heritage and the importance of sharks for his culture and personal story.
Can I Be in? As if that wasn't cool enough, you get musical acts, which mostly take up the show like this one we're about to see from Sammi Rae.
Then you know it's time for Livewire! Until next time, play on playas.
