The answer is: Another Daily Double full of trouble for Dr. Mehmet Oz.
The celebrity MD — who has infamously flatlined as a guest host of “Jeopardy!” — is learning that sometimes laughter isn’t always the best medicine.
In the days since his brief stint behind the lectern was deemed a “slap in the face” to the brand by contestants and fans alike, Oz, 60, is now being accused of making fun of a contestant during filming.
“It was just odd,” recent show winner Emily Seaman told the Ringer of Oz’s rocky run as anchor from March 22 to April 2.
“I don’t think he likes ‘Jeopardy!’ ”
Seaman, a law clerk for the federal Southern District of Texas court, claims she overheard Oz making her the butt of a joke when she failed to answer a question after successfully blazing through the entire category during gameplay.
“I heard him making fun of it to one of the producers,” she said. “Like, ‘I can’t believe they didn’t get this one.’ ”
Her response to the doctor’s alleged janky jab: “I was, like, ‘Cool, bro — let’s see you do this.’ ”
Although he’s no stranger to the lights, camera and action of television production, the swaggering host of “The Dr. Oz Show” allegedly stumbled while trying to fill the shoes of late question-master Alex Trebek as interim moderator.
Oz is one of the many Hollywood hotshots on the carousel of substitutes tapped to temporarily take the “Jeopardy!” emcee podium since Trebek — who dazzled as the show’s guiding light for 36 years — died of pancreatic cancer in November.
Seaman was originally scheduled to compete on the knowledge-based broadcast in April 2020 with Trebek as host. But her appearance was postponed until late March of this year, owing to the pandemic.
In the “Final Jeopardy!” round of one of Seaman’s two games, she claims Oz struggled to pronounced the category title: “Antidisestablishmentarianism.”
“He just couldn’t get it,” Seaman said, noting that the daytime TV medical master had to re-record the segment “seven or eight times” due to his mispronunciation missteps.
“And more than that he couldn’t get it, he didn’t know when he hadn’t gotten it, so it kind of seemed like the producers were like, ‘Are you gonna tell him that we’ve done this six times and he didn’t get it?’ ” she added.
“Everybody in the audience”— which, due to COVID-19 restrictions was made up of upcoming “Jeopardy!” contestants — “was like, ‘That’s not how you say that . . . ‘ ”
Seaman had no clue Oz would be the ringleader of the show before flying from Houston to Los Angeles to showcase her smarts on “Jeopardy!”
But she was well aware of the controversy his affiliation with the show had caused.
“They went so far with the COVID protection,” Seaman said.
She noted the two coronavirus tests (one before her flight and another at the Culver City, California, studio prior to taping), N95 masks provided to all contestants, and social-distancing rules “Jeopardy!” producers Harry Friedman and Mike Richards have in place.
“There were so many precautions, and then they had [Dr. Oz] who touted hydroxychloroquine,” she added, pointing to the doctor’s since-debunked theory that the drug could curb the effects of COVID.
Oz’s long-standing reputation for touting pseudo-science served as the thesis of a petition demanding his immediate disassociation with the “Jeopardy!” brand.
The call to action, published in February, was co-authored by past contestants and signed by more than 600 disgruntled show veterans and enthusiasts.
Reps for Oz and for “Jeopardy!” have not responded to The Post’s requests for comment.
Despite the doc’s bum wrap, when Seaman learned Oz would be at the helm of her episodes, she refused to abandon her “Jeopardy!” dreams.
“You’re not getting a call back if you do that,’ ” she explained as to why she didn’t storm off set in protest to Oz’s appointment as host.
“You walk out of there, and that’s your one chance.”
But, silently, the Harry Potter buff did liken the embattled doctor standing at Trebek’s post to Severus Snape’s taking over for Albus Dumbledore:
“How dare you stand where he stood?” she recited.
Green Bay Packers quarterback and “Celebrity Jeopardy!” champion Aaron Rodgers, 37, is currently slaying his two-week tenure as “Jeopardy!” quizmaster.
Rodgers, along with 74-time “Jeopardy!” victor and newly knighted producer Ken Jennings, are reportedly on the short list of who could be named the show’s permanent master of ceremonies.
The official crowning of the new host is expected to be announced sometime this spring, ahead of the “Jeopardy!” 38th season premiere in September.
