On last night's Jeopardy!, a clue involving Machine Gun Kelly had all three contestants stumped, even though it was supported by a picture of the musician.

"The stage name of this rapper and actor gets shortened to MGK," said host Ken Jennings. However, the buzzer eventually went off as neither Donna Lettow, Ashley Castle nor returning Jeopardy! champion Amy Schneider managed to guess Machine Gun Kelly. "Not fans of Machine Gun Kelly, apparently,"Jennings said.

Per Yahoo!, the current champion made history last week when she became the first transgender contestant to advance to the Tournament of Champions and earned the fourth-highest winnings in the history of the show. Her record-breaking streak continued on Christmas Eve, when she won her 18th consecutive game, totaling $706,800, which officially made her the highest-earning woman of all time.

Schneider ended Monday night's game in the lead with a 19-day cash winnings total of $745,200. If she continues her dominance through tomorrow (December 29), Schneider will hit a 21-game win streak and will take over the fourth-place record for most consecutive wins behind Jeopardy! legend Jennings's 74-winning streak in 2004.

As for the MGK clue, viewers thought it was absolutely hilarious that no one knew who Machine Gun Kelly was and took to Twitter with some pretty funny comments. See what they had to say below.
