Do you think this tweet was offensive?


46 y/o Ken Jennings has become intermin Jeopardy Host after the death of Alex Trebek but has already sparked outrage after an old tweet resurfaced which is extremely offensive!!

He addressed the insensitive post in 2018 but the messaged has regained light since he is now taking over the role of host

He said he apologized "personally" to those he reached out to him about it as he called it an "inept" joke

And now he is facing the wrath of of twitter..

Do you think what he said was offensive?

it's a bad joke. it's up to the community to forgive but a public apology might make a dent in the problem.

Yes it's offensive, but lol the responses. Especially that "not hot" person who is trying to twist some obvious dumb joke into a personal attack.

Just seems like someone who isn't very funny trying to be.

Seems like a silly thing to get super offended about

Guy already apologized for the joke to people directly and then publicly in 2018, I dont feel any sympathy for those acting outraged in the present day.

It was an inept joke. He apologized convincingly. That should be the end of it.

He doesn't look like somebody I want to see host Jeopardy, but I can't say I support this kind of attack on a tweet that was made long ago and apologized for. The never get clean attitude is just an excuse for people want to see successful people fall. It has nothing to do with progress.

That excuse the tweet. If he made it yesterday, I'd say it'd be fair to remove him from a position of hosting. But to dig up something like this and say that he's marked because of it? Screw that.
