What is a game show that, on Wednesday, mentioned Kitchener and a famous location with a funny name in Wilmot Township?

Jeopardy featured a question during its latest episode that asked contestants to name the Canadian province that is home to Kitchener, Brantford, and Punkeydoodles Corners, a sort of landmark location in Wilmot.

James, the contestant on Wednesday night’s episode, offered the correct response, “What is Ontario?”

The mention drew attention from trivia lovers in Waterloo Region, as well as Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic.

Jeopardy is currently in it’s 42nd season and is being helmed by host Ken Jennings.
