Although DeArruda lost to Oklahoma’s Patti Palmer last Wednesday, people are still talking about her behavior, and now a longtime producer is addressing the backlash.

The “Jeopardy” producer is dealing with backtracking

Longtime producer Sarah Foss recently appeared on Inside Jeopardy! podcast where he spoke with 2017 Tournament of Champions winner Buzzy Cohen about the current “Jeopardy!” champion Jake DeArruda and the backlash surrounding his behavior.

“Let’s just talk about Jake,” Foss began the conversation. “He’s only 23 years old.” Ken joked in a postgame chat that he had an older shirt than Jake. (He was) inspired by Matt Jackson, who was another very strong champion when he was 23 years old and he was just mowing down the competition.”

“Danger!” The producer said DeArruda’s friends have spoken fondly of him, adding that he’s a “genuine, nice guy,” which she agrees with. “It must have been like that for us in the studio when he was here,” he said on the podcast.

“I know everyone wants to share their comments, but it’s important to remember that these are just people coming on the show that they love and doing the best they can,” he continued.

“I encourage everyone to show a little more compassion on the message boards, a little more compassion out there. Because again, you don’t want to switch places with these people and subject yourself to the kind of scrutiny that we subject certain people to,” he concluded.
