Ken Jenningsmay be on the brink of beingJeopardy!
“Nothing sadder than a hot person in a wheelchair,” Jenningswrote.
HuffPost was so miffed that they wondered if Jennings' account might have been hacked.
To be clear, it wasn’t.
Four years later, and Jennings still hadn’t deleted it.
Jennings, it seems, was half apologizing, should we say?
Jennings did not delete his tweet.
Is #HotPersonInAWheelChair coming back to Twitter?
Are you ready for round three?
It’s November 2020, andJeopardy!has announced Jennings as its new,interim guest host.
Twitter, meanwhile, is already boycotting Jennings.
That Just sucks,“wroteone frustratedJeopardy!watcher.
“Ken Jennings could delete this tweet right now if he wanted.
In the meantime, I recommend against being his fan,“pointed outanother.
When Chris O’Neill Yates, CBC journalist, tweeted “Like, who else could they choose?!
?,” in response to Jennings' nomination, she too,was mercilessly reprimanded. "
Somebody who doesn’t make sh**** ableist jokes?,” suggested one critic.
2018’s #HotPersonInAWheelChair, meanwhile, is busy making a resounding comeback.
“Came all the way back to the Twitterverse for the #HotPersonInAWheelchair movement.
And man @KenJennings was right, it is just so sad,“tweeted one advocate, ironically.
“Honestly, I would be 100% okay if #HotPersonInAWheelchair came back.
1000%,” wroteanother user.
