Comment on If a contestant on Jeopardy! gave the correct response "Alexandre Dumas" but pronounced the surname as "dumb ass", would the response be accepted?

Not 100% on the rules, but I think it depends if the question is a Daily Double or not, and there’s more scrutiny if it is.

The closest example that comes to mind is when Arthur Chu pronounced Elbridge Gerry as Jerry. He ended up getting the $800 but got a lecture from Trebeck.

Earlier in the same clip he didn’t get the $5000 Daily Double because he pronounced Frances McDormand as McDarmand
