Deb Bilodeau identified a photo of Scott Hamilton as Mary Lou Retton on Thursday’s show.
So, hopefully, Deb Bilodeau can keep laughing about her viralJeopardygaffe during Thursday’s episode.
Bilodeau quickly responded, “Who is Mary Lou Retton?”

When hostKen Jenningsrevealed the answer, Bilodeau covered her mouth and laughed at the error.
Bilodeau later sought Hamilton’s forgiveness for the mistake.
Apologies to Scott Hamilton.
I did lose my glasses the day before I came down here, she said.
My boyfriend was trying to get me to buy glasses here, so thats that.
Still, the unforced error brought a lot of laughs on social media.
“I literally spit out a mouthful of wine!“repliedanotherJeopardyfan.
Unfortunately, the two Olympic icons have both faced recent health struggles.
“I’m a fighter, and I’m not going to give up.
I’m not going to give up,” she toldNBC’s Hoda Kotbin January.
“I have no idea what the future holds for me.
I don’t know if I’m going to have lasting issues with my lungs.
They don’t know.
I wish I had answers.
But I would never give up.
It’s not in me.”
