'Jeopardy!' host Ken Jennings praised for gentle reaction to a bee
Many people might instinctively try to swat a bee if it landed on them, fearing a sting. Yet Ken Jennings, the legendary "Jeopardy!" champion and current host, reacted very differently when a bee landed on his arm.
Known not only for his record-breaking run on the show but also for his engaging social media presence, Jennings often shares lighthearted posts — from failed magic tricks to touching tributes. His latest post, however, highlighted calmness and respect for nature.
According to a TV Insider report, the 51-year-old host recorded a video showing the bee resting on his arm for about 20 minutes. During that time, Jennings stayed relaxed, avoiding any harm to the insect. The bee calmly walked and fluttered without stinging him.
“The core of my personality is 'never swat at a bee' but this weirdo has been sitting on my arm for 20 minutes. Let’s wrap this up, bee.”
The post quickly gained positive attention online. Fans commended Jennings for his compassion and composure, with one user jokingly adding, “Ok, I’ll see myself to the door now.”
