Did they ever go back and credit him the money because technically, his answer is correct.

That's the furthest thing from funny.

It also isn't a blooper. Since it was part of the actual show, not an out take.

Please fix this thread, it is broken.

Why does a blooper have to be an outtake?

Is the answer rake? When I was a senior in high school, my quiz bowl team had this question at the NC State Finals. We missed the question when we said ho. 🙂

 

[VTHodge]

The judges ruled it incorrect becuase the garden tool is a "HOE" and a nasty lady is a "HO" (shortened from "WHORE").

He talked about this when he was a guest on "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me" on NPR.

He could be right in that for him it isn't funny; on the other hand, I found it very funny (though I've seen it several times before). It's certainly worth seeing if you enjoy TV bloopers (not being an outtake doesn't disqualify it from being a blooper, though you could argue technically on the grounds of whether or not it was a "mistake"). The thread doesn't need fixing, and jerk-ness is still to be found because the complaint was useless and at least partially incorrect.

No, his answer is not correct. Hoe is a long-handled gardening tool. Ho is slang for whore.
