A recent "Jeopardy!" episode has left an impact on not just angry fans, but even a producer of the popular game show.

During an "Inside Jeopardy!" podcast interview, producer Sarah Foss and former champion Buzzy Cohen unraveled an episode from last week that left contestants scratching their heads after all three of them failed to buzz in on 23 different clues.

"One thing that was not so great about this game, in this game — this has to be a record — 23 triple stumpers. And it’s something we never like to see," Foss remarked.

"No, not good," Cohen reacted. "You know, it’s the last game before lunch… Maybe everyone's a little hungry or sleepy."

The former champion referenced the "Jeopardy’!" filming schedule since five episodes of the game show are taped in one day.

Foss and Cohen then joked, "We'll forget it ever happened."

According to "J! Archive," the record for total missed clues in a single game stands at 24. That game took place in 2005 during the Ultimate Tournament of Champions.

"Is it just me, or was tonight's episode of #jeopardy painful to watch? As far as unanswered clues went, this episode had to be in the top 10," a comment said.

"This seems to be a trend. I’m usually a wiz at this game but lately the clues seem convoluted. I wonder if @Jeopardy has hired new writers," another viewer chimed in.

Longtime fans of the game show continued to question "Jeopardy!’s" puzzles.

"I really could not discern whether or not the clues were too tough or the contestants were not well-versed in the subjects. The clues have gotten harder I think in the last few years," one viewer wrote.

"I personally tried to ‘keep calm and clam up’ to try to avoid ending up in the red with bad guesses but as the game wore on, especially in Double Jeopardy, it was obvious we were collectively riding the struggle bus with our board!"
