According to one contestant, the former White Stripes frontman is also responsible for "8 Mile."

On the latest episode of the hit game show Jeopardy!, a contestant made a hilarious flub when trying to identify the musician behind one of the clues given during last night's proceedings. Host Alex Trebek asked the contestants to concoct a question about how the "recent vinyl resurgence has been aided by this musician, who built a pressing plant in his Detroit hometown."

Despite the fact that a photo of Jack White was given as an added subsidiary to the clue, the contestant was still unable to decipher who the musician in question was, as she pressed her buzzer and announced "Who is Eminem?" as her response.

Obviously, people took to Twitter to express their responses to the mix-up, as users were either puzzled by the contestant's response or found it to be quite hilarious.

While this may have been an embarrassing blunder for the contestant, it sure made for one memorable television moment.
