The answer: An exact duplicate, not a deceased Quasimodo, it was a horse switched for another to defraud bookies.

Correct response was a "dead ringer."

Too funny...drew gales of stupid laughter from the audience, of course. Does anyone have video of this? Couldn't find anything on youtube.

Jeopardy is the only quiz show with actual questions that's on the air right now and for the last decade or so).
Try watching an episode and answer every single question before the contestants. I bet you'd say some dumb stuff yourself.

I'm no Ken Jennings, and although it has to be different being in front of a live studio audience and all the cameras, I'm pretty sure I've never said anything that silly from my living room.

The problem with this particular contestant is that he was guessing too much. For Jeopardy, you need a good balance of buzzing in on time for the questions you know the answer to, and taking a risk on ones that you think you have a solid educated guess for. This guy was doing fine for much of the show, but he kept guessing too frequently and wound up answering incorrectly too much because of it.
