Who is Timothée Chalamet?
A March 9 episode of "Jeopardy!" included an indirect dig at the "Marty Supreme" actor with its "ballet and opera" category. The category included questions about "The Fairy Queen" and "Madama Butterfly," both operas, and "The Nutcracker" ballet.
The category comes after members of the ballet and opera community slammed Chalamet for remarks he made about the arts' current popularity during a CNN and Variety town hall with actor Matthew McConaughey, which was posted on Feb. 24.
