"Jeopardy!" contestants may not be the biggest fans of country music.Â
During Tuesday night’s episode, the game show set fell silent after a clue about country star Garth Brooks appeared on the board.Â
In the category for "90s Singers," "Jeopardy!" host and former champion Ken Jennings read, "This country superstar's 'Friends In Low Places' was named CMA Single of the Year in 1991."
A photo of Brooks, 61, appeared on the screen as he donned a black cowboy hat and bow tie.Â
After the players failed to buzz in, Jennings, 49, looked stunned that the contestants were not able to answer the prompt.
"Whoa!" a surprised Jennings reacted to the silence. "How soon we forget. That’s Chris Gaines’ alter ego, Garth Brooks."
 "Jeopardy!" contestants missing the country clue sent fans into a frenzy on social media.Â
