Clint Eastwood has spent much of his on-screen career in jeopardy, but never quite like this. Many fans on social media have noted current Jeopardy! champion David Erb‘s resemblance to the film legend. Fox News collated several Twitter reactions to Erb that made their day.

A native of Seattle, Washington, like current Jeopardy host Ken Jennings, Erb is an astrophysicist turned puzzle designer – and despite his lean features, gray hair, and distinctive squint, has never served as Eastwood’s stunt double. He is the longest-running champion on the current season of the competition series, which began on September 9. He has won three games, and will be competing for his fourth win tonight.

But that doesn’t mean the 60-year-old game show is without its drama. Ever since the late Alex Trebek passed away in 2020, the rumor mill has been swirling about who would take over the hosting stage.
