Jeopardy! Masters contestant James Holzhauer leaves viewers in stitches with a VERY cheeky spelling quip: 'Gotta be careful with that fourth letter!'


The quizzer, 39, made the joke as he took on the Spell It category during Wednesday night's season premiere - winning over the audience with his cheeky gag.

It all started when host Ken Jennings, 49, asked: 'The last name of botanist Leonhard gave us this word for a type of flower and shade of reddish purple.' Hilarity ensued after host Ken Jennings asked: 'The last name of botanist Leonhard gave us this word for a type of flower and shade of reddish purple' The four players with the most points will then advance to the semifinals, and the top three competitors will face off in finals for the $500,000 grand prize and Trebek Trophy.
