Who is Scott Gillingham?: ‘Jeopardy!’ mentions Winnipeg mayor in question

Mayor Scott Gillingham got a shoutout during Tuesday's episode of 'Jeopardy!'

Winnipeg’s mayor got a major shoutout in a recent episode of ‘Jeopardy!’

On Tuesday, host Ken Jennings asked contestants, “In Canada, his or her worship is for people with this government job, like Scott Gillingham of Winnipeg and Surrey, B.C.’s Brenda Locke.”

None of the contestants got the answer of mayor correct, but that didn’t stop Gillingham from enjoying the mention.

“Fun surprise to be featured in a clue on Jeopardy today,” he tweeted.

Tuesday’s ‘Jeopardy!’ clue isn’t the first time Winnipeg has been name dropped in pop culture as it’s been mentioned on “The Simpsons,” “The Sopranos,” and the Chance the Rapper song “Tree.”
