Fans of Jeopardy! voiced their outrage over a recent ruling involving the pronunciation of a Russian writer during an episode with host Mayim Bialik.
The Tuesday show saw Bialik, who has been splitting hosting duties with Ken Jennings since July, read a clue under the category 'The Quotable Alex'.
The category challenged contestants to match certain quotations with the famous figures that said them, all sporting said name.
This particular clue corresponded with Soviet dissident author Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn - an answer all three contestants guessed correctly, but without the proper pronunciation.
'No, this is a tricky one to pronounce,' said 47-year-old Bialik - whose new hosting gig has already been marred by multiple on-air controversies. 'We're looking for Solzhenitsyn.'
