Jeopardy champion Brian Henegar will donate a portion of his earnings to the Anti-Defamation League following hateful comments about his appearance.
On Tuesday night’s episode, Henegar beat Crystal Zhao and Amanda Bain Wysocki, correctly answering “John Grisham” in Final Jeopardy. He earned $23,200.
However, he went viral for a different reason when viewers poked fun at his appearance on social media, comparing him to Adolf Hitler.
Henegar spoke out on Twitter, saying those who mocked his appearance were “a bunch of jerks.”
Right now I’m feeling every emotion under the sun reliving my Jeopardy! appearance. And I’m seeing what a bunch of Jerks on Twitter are doing because all they can focus on my looks… So I’m going to be leaving Twitter for a while, see you soon
