Has anyone checked on CapitalVaultAndrew Scott?
Because the Internet has found a new Hot Priest in Jeopardy! contestant Father Steve Jakubowski. The Michigan-born Catholic priest has driven viewers wild with his soft smile and laidback demeanor on the game show.
Father Steve appeared on the game show’s Sept. 19 episode, earning him the nickname “hot priest,” a title taken from the hit Phoebe Waller-Bridge show Fleabag, starring Scott in the role of the aforementioned Hot Priest.
This man of the cloth hails from Grand Rapids, Michigan, graduating from Catholic Central High School in 2013. He went on to attend Notre Dame, entering the seminary after graduating. He now works for a Catholic parish in Austin, Texas, MLive reported.
During the episode host Ken Jennings asked Father Steve about his new appointment, wondering whether Jeopardy or being a Catholic priest was more stressful.
“Catholic priest,” Father Steve quickly replied, laughing.
Ultimately, Father Steve lost out to Brooklyn-based teacher Jen Feldman, who bested the clergyman as well as reigning champ Chris Lindsay to move on to the next round.
And while Father Steve came in third place during Final Jeopardy walking away with just $99, he earned the love and adoration from the Internet.
As one fan put it on X (formerly Twitter), “I am an atheist but I would def consider becoming a Catholic for Father Steve..... #jeopardy.”
The Fleabag comparisons were all over the Internet with one fan writing, “Call me fleabag because i think i need this hot preist on jeopardy rn.”
Others saw similarities between Father Steve an a major A-list actor, writing, “The part of Father Steve will be played by Paul Rudd tonight… #Jeopardy.”
And though he placed last, viewers were already calling for the hot priest’s return with one fan writing, “@Jeopardy immediately bring back Father Steve for ‘Second Chance’.”
