And just like that … Cynthia Nixon loses ‘Celebrity Jeopardy!’ with embarrassing history clue flub

And just like that … Cynthia Nixon blows it on “Celebrity Jeopardy!” 

On the episode of “Celebrity Jeopardy!” aired Wednesday, the “Sex and the City” and “And Just Like That…” star lost, with stand-up comedian Heather McMahan beating both Nixon, 57, and fellow celeb participant Cedric the Entertainer, 59. 

During the episode, going into the new Triple Jeopardy! round, Cynthia led with $7,100, while Heather had $6,600 and Cedric, $3,200.

The game between Nixon and McMahan was close, but Nixon got the last Daily Double, adding $2,000.

By Final Jeopardy!, it seemed like Nixon would win, as she had $19,700, Cedric had $4,000 and McMahan had $15,600.

The clue under “Unique Buildings” read: “Despite 17.5 miles of hallways, you can walk anywhere in this Virginia building within about 5 minutes, due to its concentric layout.”

Cedric and McMahan both correctly guessed, “The Pentagon.” 

Host Ken Jennings then announced: “It all depends on Cynthia’s response. Did she come up with the Pentagon?”

As a former NYC mayoral candidate, a political question should have been a slam dunk for the “Sex and the City” star.

But, Nixon revealed that she scribbled something that looked like “VA Hospital” and tossed up her hands, in apparent confusion. This made her drop $11,500, and enabled McMahan to win.

“How did #cynthianixon just answer the easiest final #jeopardy question in history incorrectly?” one aghast viewer posted on X, formerly known as Twitter. 

Nixon also recently made headlines for participating in two days out of a five-day hunger strike, demanding that President Biden push for a permanent cease-fire in Gaza as Israel battles Hamas terrorists. 

Nixon told reporters Monday, “We are here hunger-striking just to sort of mirror to Biden the kind of deprivation that is happening in Gaza and how he has it within his power to make a cease-fire happen,” according to the Times of Israel.

“Celebrity Jeopardy!” airs on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC and Hulu.
