JEOPARDY! game show host Ken Jennings dropped a very adult joke in rare behind-the-scenes footage.
The unexpected moment revealed a cheekier side of the usually composed quizmaster.

The quiz show challenges contestants to showcase their general knowledge, always phrasing their responses in the form of a question.
Players compete to stay in the game and accumulate winnings as they progress, with Jennings as their host.
The hit game show which has had it’s run of 41 seasons so far dropped a blooper reel showing a behind-the-scenes look at show filming.
In one scene Jennings can be seen asking a contestant: “How big do you want to go?”
To which he then cheekily quips: “That’s what she said.”
The TV host then bursts out laughing alongside the audience and crew later protesting “that doesn’t even make sense”.
In other scenes Jennings is shown mixing up his words before walking out of frame.
In another clip the TV host addresses the live audience dropping an expletive.
An audience member asks him: “Do you ever finish a particular episode and at the end, you realize, boy, this contestant don’t know **** ?
Jennings, who was a former contestant on the show, hilariously fired back saying: “I do remember I lost to this lovely woman from Ventura named Nancy Zerg.
“Who knew Final Jeopardy! when I did not. And you know what she thought? She was like ‘That guy don’t know ****!’.”
The famous trivia show is now gearing up for season 42, and while some major shifts are in store for fans, the game will also be keeping some things the same – including a controversial part of the show.
In late July, season 41 of Jeopardy! concluded with a bang after Scott Riccardi had his 16-game winning streak crushed by Jonathan Hugendubler in a shocking finale.
The end of the season marks the rare occasion where new Jeopardy! episodes are on hiatus from airing.
Production of season 42 has already begun with new episodes airing at the end of September.
In the meantime, the show is getting ready for its best season yet as the 200+ crew members are working hard on season 42’s pre-production.
A series insider told The U.S. Sun: “The show has some changes in the works to jazz up season 42.
“No one is jumping the shark, the format and all that, the heart of the show, will be the same.
“But there will be new set pieces and, unfortunately for the fans, there will be some, perhaps even an increase, in sponsored categories.
“Producers know that’s not popular with fans, and quite frankly, a lot of the production team doesn’t like it either.
“But it’s part of the game. It helps with revenue and cross promotion so it is what it is.”
Ken couldn’t resist channeling his inner Michael Scott a la The Office[/caption]
