'Jeopardy!' Champion Rubbing Fans the Wrong Way Because of This Personality Quirk

"I love [LeVar Burton] as host of [Jeopardy!]. He's a natural. That being said, I'm so annoyed by Matt Amodio's improper posing of the questions that I can't even enjoy the show," tweeted one viewer. "'What's Moore' when answering a question regarding a proper name? Seriously? WHAT IS. WHO IS."
"Every time with him! They should mark his questions as wrong since he's phrasing them so improperly," one person suggested in response to the above tweet.
"Matt Amodio's current dominance on [Jeopardy!] is impressive," one person acknowledged. "But man, his insistence on starting every response with 'What's' is more than a little bit off-putting."
"What's wrong with Matt Amodio," asked one viewer. "He has no personality; he speaks with a monotone; and he doesn't know any other pronouns except 'WHAT is...?' even for people or places. Matt: it is WHO is for people; WHERE is for places and so on. Learn grammar."
"Can't stand another night of watching Matt start every question with 'what's' on [Jeopardy!]," tweeted somebody else. "It's like nails on a chalkboard."
"Yesterday was my first time seeing Matt play. He goes straight for the highest value clues first and only uses the interrogative 'What's...' regardless of the subject of the response," wrote one. "A man with a plan."
"Matt Amodio is a worthy 5-day champ on [Jeopardy!] but he curiously answers every question with 'what's', even when the question clearly refers to a person or the response is in the plura1," tweeted another person. "Very weird. Oh well, he's a computer geek."
