SCHITT’S Creek star Emily Hampshire has felt the wrath of Celebrity Jeopardy! fans after a sinking performance on Wednesday’s season premiere.

The Netflix actress offered up some of the most outlandish wrong answers fans said they’d ever witnessed.

Celebrity Jeopardy! kicked off with Ken, 49, instead of Mayim, 47, on September 27 at 8pm ET.

First up were Mark Duplass (filmmaker and Chip on The Morning Show), Emily (Stevie on Schitt’s Creek), and Utkarsh Ambudkar (Jay on Ghosts).

While Emily meant well, some of her 10 incorrect answers (compared to just five correct) were just so incorrect that fans were left smacking their heads.

One miss was on a clue that read: “Yeehaw! Paniolos are Hawaii’s equivalent of these workers, also the name of a Texas sports team.”

The clue was looking for “Cowboys,” but Emily incorrectly guessed: “Aloha?”

By Final Jeopardy, Uktarsh had $19900 while Mark had $15100 and Emily was at $-1500 but was allowed to compete.

Final Jeopardy read: “Discovered in the ’60s and ’70s, Cygnus X-1 was the first of these light-trapping gravitational bodies to be identified.”

Mark and Utkarsh were correct with: “A black hole.”

Utkarsh shook his head as if he didn’t have it, but in a funny twist, he was correct and bet enough to win the game by just $4.

“You did a little thing, that’s mean!” Ken said.

Meanwhile, Emily guessed “stars” – seeming to concoct that stars were discovered in the ’60s and ’70s.

FANS REACT: ‘MY GOODNESS’

One viewer wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “I’m going to be honest, Emily’s performance on #CelebrityJeopardy may have been the worst Jeopardy! performance I’ve ever seen.”

Another wrote: “Emily has clearly confused Celebrity Jeopardy with SNL’s Celebrity Jeopardy.”

A third wrote: “So. Did Emily just decide to commit to wrong answers because my goodness.”

And a fourth: “Did Emily seriously think we discovered stars in the 1960’s? Like we just thought those were twinkly night lights prior to that?”

A fifth defended: “I’ve seen worse, but then again, all celebrities are like us……human. I think her nerves got the best of her.”

A sixth replied: “Wolf Blitzer” referring to the time the CNN anchor was infamously tussled by comedian Andy Richter.

A seventh wrote: “Oh wow. Stevie from Schitt’s Creek aka Emily Hampshire is not very smart irl. Unlike her character who is the voice of reason.”

ALL ABOUT CELEBRITY JEOPARDY!

Celebrity Jeopardy! Season 2 will air weekly on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Hulu.

The special is in a tournament style where the winner each week advances to the semifinals- which Ken explained alongside a glitzy graphic [below].

There will be nine quarterfinals matches and three semi-final episodes, which will occur after the quarterfinals finish.

The semis will whittle the competition to the top three for a one-episode final faceoff.

The episodes are an hour long, and the overall winner gets $1million (for charity).

Last year, the special was won by actor Ike Barenholtz, and in a first, he’ll also be in the next Tournament of Champions.

Executive Producer Michael Davies has rolled out a few major changes to the spinoff, including a Triple Jeopardy round and a split-screen clue selection display, which has divided fans.

BIALIK BREAKS FROM JEOPARDY!

Last year, Mayim hosted the entirety of the special – which returned for the first time since 2015 and without the late host Alex Trebek.

This time, Ken is replacing Mayim as the host for the entire special.

She walked out due to the Writers Guild of America and Screen Actors Guild strikes.

The former Blossom star is a member of the striking actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA.

Even if the strikes end while it’s airing, Mayim will most likely still not host any part of it as it’s already midway through taping.

The Big Bang Theory alum is on an extended hiatus from all things Jeopardy!, including Season 40, which premiered earlier this month.

The schedule for nightly Jeopardy! is set in stone until December 18.

The game show is airing tournaments instead of regular episodes as late as March, so Mayim may not be back until then.

Her exit marks Ken’s first time hosting all programming for Jeopardy!, a big change since they were supposed to split hosting duties.

While regularly airing Jeopardy! is using recycled material until its writers return, Celebrity Jeopardy! is comprised of fresh material written pre-strikes.

WHO IS: ALSO COMPETING?

The game show has dropped the first 18 contestants competing out of 27 total.

Brian Baumgartner (The Office) faces Lisa Ann Walter (comedian) and Timothy Simons (Veep) on October 4.

Christopher Meloni (Law and Order SVU) faces Sherri Shepherd and Katie Nolan (Speed Round) on October 11.

Mira Sorvino (‘90s classic Romy and Michele) faces Adam Rodriguez (CSI: Miami) and Shane Battier (NBA player) on October 18.

Sheryl Underwood (The Talk), faces Dule Hill (The Wonder Years) and Steven Weber (Wings) on October 25.

Melissa Fumero (Brooklyn Nine-Nine) goes head to head with Peter Schrager (sportscaster) and Peter Facinelli (Nurse Jackie) on November 1.

The last three quarterfinals with the last nine celebrities are still unannounced (ostensibly because their games haven’t been taped).
