“In 2021 at age 95, this singer achieved a Guinness World Record for the oldest person to release an album of new music,” the clue read.
Third-place contestant Margaret Chipowsky correctly guessed Tony Bennett, but both Finn Corrigan and Karen Johnson mistakenly guessed the singer was Ross.
Those wrong answers got Chipowsky up to first place to win the game, but on Twitter, many were simply in shock that anyone would think the 77-year-old Ross is actually 95.
