“Jeopardy!” viewers have some unholy feelings about this Catholic contestant.
Father Steve Jakubowski, 29, appeared on Thursday’s episode of the game show, prompting smitten fans to pray they could get in the young priest’s good graces.
“This Jeopardy contestant is a PRIEST?” one hot and bothered viewer asked on X. “I’m about to convert.”
Others also swooned over the Catholic clergyman, who quickly garnered the nickname “hot priest.”
Jakubowski — who resides in Austin, Texas — competed against teacher Jen Feldman and one-day champion Chris Linsday.
Feldman was ultimately crowned the night’s winner, meaning Jakubowski fans will have to hit the pews if they want to see and hear more of him.
However, the priest described his appearance on “Jeopardy!” as “a great experience.”
“Ken and all the producers and team were very kind to me with the novelty of having a Catholic priest on the show,” he told Fox News Digital.
“I hope it gave a positive impression of my community and the Church. The show airs at 3:30 where I live in Austin, and so we had a watch party at our parish school with our students and their parents — tons of fun to share that with our parish.”
Jakubowski was born and raised in Grand Rapids, Michigan, and graduated from Catholic Central High School in 2013.
He went on to attend Notre Dame before entering the seminary.
Jakubowski was ordained a Holy Cross priest in April and currently lives and works at a Catholic parish in Austin, per MLive.com.
