The Final Jeopardy Showdown
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end, and Father Steve’s Jeopardy! journey was no exception. Jen Feldman ultimately advanced to the next round, marking the conclusion of Father Steve’s time on the show. The Final Jeopardy category was New York Movies, with the clue asking about a film where Frank Sinatra's photo caught fire in a Brooklyn pizzeria. The correct answer was Spike Lee’s classic, Do the Right Thing.
Even though Father Steve walked away with only $99 during Final Jeopardy, his impact on the audience was immeasurable. Fans were still buzzing about him long after the credits rolled, proving that charm and intellect go a long way.
What the Fans Are Saying
Social media lit up with comments expressing admiration for Father Steve. One viewer quipped, “Hot priest on Jeopardy tonight, a small win I needed.” Another joked, “This Jeopardy contestant is a PRIEST? I’m about to convert.” Even Ken Jennings, the show’s host, had to call him ‘Father Steve’ every time, much to the delight of viewers.
Many viewers couldn’t help but notice the resemblance between Father Steve and actor Paul Rudd. Others drew comparisons to the iconic “hot priest” from Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s hit show, Fleabag. One fan even suggested Jeopardy should bring Father Steve back for a second chance, proving just how much he resonated with audiences.
Not the First Time Jeopardy Fans Have Gone Crazy
This isn’t the first time Jeopardy has introduced a contestant who set hearts racing. Last year, Anji Nyquist was dubbed the “hottest contestant ever” after winning an episode. The attention she received was overwhelming, with fans asking all sorts of quirky questions during her Instagram Q&A.

Anji shared that some fans asked if she’d consider doing an OnlyFans page, which she found both flattering and amusing. “It’s not my style,” she admitted to The Sun, but added, “It was flattering, though. Who doesn’t like seeing themselves on TV?”
She also noted the mixed bag of reactions from fans. “You’re gonna get some nice people, and you’re gonna get some creeps,” she revealed. “Most of it’s just nice, like ‘you’re so beautiful, you’re the hottest contestant ever.’ But Jeopardy is about brains and performance.”
