'Jeopardy!' champion James Holzhauer gets big reaction with his cheeky remark

"Jeopardy!" legend James Holzhauer has got the smarts plus the jokes. 

In the season premiere of "Jeopardy! Masters," which culls together the show's greatest champions, Holzhauer, 39, couldn't help himself from giving a cheeky remark after answering a question from the spelling category. 

Asked to spell a botanist's last name that also worked as a flower or shade of reddish purple, Holzhauer answered correctly with "fuchsia."

"What is F - U - C," he said, staring into oblivion, before pausing.
