Contestant confuses Magic for Gretzky in funny Jeopardy! blooper

Wayne Gretzky and Paul Coffey were doing a press conference about their Oilers teams and the Stanley Cup Final when hockey superfan Charles Barkley appeared on stage to joke around with his pals.

Magic Johnson, NHL star.

… Wait, what?

A blooper from a past episode of Jeopardy! has been making the rounds again on Twitter this weekend, and it’s pretty great. In a cringe-worthy moment, a contestant managed to mix up two of the most famous athletes in their respective games: Magic Johnson and some guy named Wayne Gretzky.

Take a look—because who doesn’t love a good game show blooper?

(Sorry, Joe, for bringing this up again.)

Editor’s note: A previous version of this story stated that the episode was “recent,” when in fact it was not.
