'Celebrity Jeopardy!' Contestants Get Stumped By 2004 Usher Hit 'Yeah!'

A certain “Celebrity Jeopardy!” clue has gotten contestants caught up.

The third season of the game show premiered Wednesday, and a prompt about R&B singer Usher had the players — comedian W. Kamau Bell, “The Neighborhood” actor Max Greenfield and “Grey’s Anatomy” star Camilla Luddington — thoroughly stumped.

With “2004, What a Year!” as the category, the contestants were hit with the following clue: “We got so caught up in this Usher song that it spent 12 weeks at the top of the charts.” What followed was pure confusion.

Greenfield, the first to take a shot, guessed, “What is ‘Caught Up’?” It was a swing and a miss. Luddington, eager to try her luck, threw out, “What is ‘All Caught Up’?” — another failed attempt, as that isn’t the title of any track in Usher’s discography.

Basking in the contentment of not knowing what to guess, Bell let the time run out as he jokingly remarked, “Feels so awkward to be the Black guy who doesn’t know the Usher song,” adding that he’d been listening to the band Rage Against the Machine in 2004.

Host Ken Jennings then revealed that the clue was about “Yeah!” — the lead single from Usher’s album “Confessions.”

The singer, whose legal name is Usher Raymond IV, has been releasing chart-climbing singles since the early 1990s. In 2024, Usher received a Lifetime Achievement Award at the BET Awards.
