Comedian Hasan Minhaj appeared on Celebrity Jeopardy!, Sunday, and the Patriot Act star was very enthusiastic throughout the game.
While host Mayim Bialik thought his schtick was hilarious, the majority of Jeopardy! fans on Twitter found his antics to be a bit much. One person wrote, “I don’t know who Hasan Minhaj is but he’s being so painfully unfunny and cringe on Celebrity Jeopardy right now.”
Even the other contestants were wowed by his braggadocious playing. As the game progressed, Bialik did a good job wrangling in the comedian.
Despite his bravado, Minhaj only had $1,200 going into Final Jeopardy!, where he finished with a zero balance. Fortunately his charity, International Rescue Committee, will still receive a $30,000 donation.
As for his game show comedy, Minhaj has no regrets. “Scared money don’t make money” he said. “Shooters shoot. Go hard in the paint. I have no regrets, Mayim.”
