When I grow up I want to have as much confidence as Kevin McGinty.
Just like this dude was confident enough to “flip-off” Alex Trebek, Jeopardy! contestant Kevin McGinty was confident enough to give Trebek his answer to a question, even though it was completely wrong. The clue from Trebek was simple: “A hired assassin.” And McGinty buzzes in, ponders his answer for a moment, and with a lot of confidence says this:
tonight’s episode of JEOPARDY featured one of my favorite incorrect answers ever pic.twitter.com/w27APtKqnH

That’s right, “hot gun!” And it wasn’t even that the answer was incorrect, it was just everything about McGinty that made the internet lose their mind, as they couldn’t stop laughing.
Here are just some of the reactions to McGinty’s little viral moment.

@realdaveimboden That guy cracked me up. He would give the worst, wrongest answers, but always with the veracity of one who knows them to be true. #hotgun

@realdaveimboden @robdelaney Some idiot somewhere’s going to have a search history including the phrase “hot gun to kill wife” and get brought down because of this.
