A Jeopardy! contestant's gaffe9 Moonsgoing viral for being sohilariously off the mark.

During Monday night's episode, a contestant chose a category labeled "The Zulus," an ethnic group from southern Africa. Host Alex Trebek read the prompt: "Here, as on each Sept. 24, Zulus celebrate a holiday that was named in honor of this warrior leader of the early 1800s."

The answer is, "Who is Shaka Zulu?" But instead of answering with the correct historical figure — that is, the warrior king known for his military tactics — contestant Sarah Jett Rayburn blurted out "Who is Chaka Khan?"

Always professional, Trebek managed to avoid laughing at the answer. But Twitter user XOrlandoXXX, whose video of the exchange went viral on Monday, couldn't hold back snickering.

Jett Rayburn went on to win the game, despite the fumble, and made Jeopardy! history by talking through her reasoning on-air.

But that didn't stop Twitter users from getting a kick out of her confusion over the Queen of Funk.

And while Chaka Khan certainly is iconic, she's not quitethe same as Shaka Zulu.
