Jeopardy contestant Mira Hayward’s triumphant run on the game show was overshadowed by an unfortunate mistake she made after winning.

In the episode’s Final Jeopardy round, all three contestants bet $0 for possibly the first time ever on the show, according to Andy Saunders, who recaps the show for The Jeopardy! Fan. Hayward and contestant Kate Campolieta both guessed the answer correctly, but Hayward had the highest earnings, making her that evening’s champion.

Hayward celebrated her win by making a “0” (or so she thought) with both hands and shaking them on either side of her body. But to viewers at home, the gesture looked quite suggestive — and certainly not fit for basic cable — something that many took to X to react to.

“Looks more like the Daily Double,” one user joked.

Another fan joked that the show was taking a NSFW turn, writing, “Onlyfans, Jeopardy style.”

Others noted that the meme-worthy moment will never be forgotten, thanks to the nature of the internet.

“I think Mira is going to regret this reaction,” one X user tweeted.

“She has no idea what is about to unfold,” another fan commented.

Hayward received a lot of support on X, however, when she thanked her fellow contestants in a post after their episode aired.

“Thank you everyone for the well wishes! And thank you most of all to @JeopardyJesseC and @campolka, who are just as brilliant, hilarious, and kind as they look on TV. Couldn’t have had more fun on the Alex Trebek Stage than I did with those two. Semifinals up next!” she wrote.

Thanks to her $16,400 in earnings, Hayward is now set to continue on to the semifinals.
