‘Jeopardy’ host Ken Jennings ‘flirts’ with James Holzhauer on-air: ‘Keep it in your pants’

returning champion James Holzhauer had a rather flirty exchange Friday during the “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament.The saucy nerd banter between the two men occurred after contestant Matt Amodio chose a question under the “Authors” category.“The Detroit Free Press said ‘The Mummy’ was ‘vintage’ this novelist; ‘elegantly erotic & full of enchanting terror,’” read the clue.Amodio buzzed in with the answer “What’s Stoker.”Jennings, 48, declared that the answer was incorrect and after the two players failed to chime in, revealed the answer to be “Anne Rice.”“I also refer to James as ‘elegantly erotic but full of enchanting terror,’” the 48-year-old host said.Holzhauer, 38, retorted to the quip, saying: “Keep it in your pants, Ken.”The rather flirtatious exchange caused Mattea Roach — another returning champ — to cover her mouth as she started laughing out loud.But Holzhauer — who came in second to Jennings in the highest winnings during regular-season play — wouldn’t let the remark die.“We actually had to pause taping so Ken could take a cold shower,” tweeted Holzhauer later that day with a clip of the exchange.The Post reached out to Jennings and Holzhauer for comment.Fans of the game show were divided about how they felt about the spicy exchange.

‘Interview With the Vampire’ Cast on Comparisons to ’94 Film: ‘Why Compete?’ Both ‘Can Exist at the Same Time’

During a panel at the Summer TCA press tour on Wednesday, the cast of AMC’s adaptation of “Interview With the Vampire” discussed how (and why) they’re not trying to “compete” with the 1994 film adaptation starring Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise. In fact, series leads Jacob Anderson (who plays Louis) and Sam Reid (who plays Lestat) were enthusiastic that the two versions can coexist as the new interpretation has the privilege of drawing from the complete series of books.“I love that movie. And I’ve always loved the work of Anne Rice, so I was very excited to be a part of reigniting it,” Reid said during the panel.

It’s hard to argue that the late author Anne Rice has had a large impact on the modern image of vampires; instead of dark and creepy castle-dwelling old men, the writer instead helped give popular culture the young sexy vampire with her Lestat de Lioncourt novels for better or worse. A character was played by Tom Cruise in the 1994 feature film “An Interview With The Vampire,” which also featured actors such as Brad Pitt, Christian Slater, Antonio Banderas, and a young Kirsten Dunst.

What Aaliyah Said About 'Queen of the Damned' and Her Final Movie Role in Anne Rice Adaptation (Flashback)

Aaliyah’s casting in highlighted her career's game-changing transition in the early 2000s. And unlike her character, a mere fictional monarch from the mind of best-selling fantasy author Anne Rice, Aaliyah was held up as real-life royalty in the R&B community by the time she landed her second big-screen role. Crossing over from music artist to movie star was an organic, if not expected, evolutionary step for Aaliyah’s trajectory. But Akasha, the adaptation’s other-worldly antagonist, became the singer's final role on the silver screen (following the previous year’s Jet Li vehicle ).
