Show Caption Hide Caption Eric Trump chimes in on 'Jeopardy!' mention, and so does Twitter Finding himself as part of an answer on an episode of 'Jeopardy!' Eric Trump decided to make the most of it, and so did Twitter. Nathan Rousseau Smith has the story.

Eric Trump knows his Jeopardy!, especially when the syndicated TV game show's clues deal with himself and his famous family.

The third child of the President of the United States and Ivana Trump, 34, correctly answered a Jeopardy! clue on Twitter Wednesday, sharing the teaser on screenshot: "Eric Trump to Jared Kushner."

"Always fun being a Jeopardy question," Trump tweeted, answering the clue in the form of a question. "Who is brother in law."

We checked with Jeopardy!, and Trump did indeed give the right answer regarding his brother-in-law Jared Kushner for the $600 clue under the category "Relationships are hard."

(The phrasing “Who/what is?” does not matter, as both would have been accepted. And the lack of hyphens and a question mark would not work against him in a verbal response).

Twitter had fun with Trump's tweet. Many took to the reply section to send up the Trump family in light of an ongoing investigation into a possible connection of Russian interference in the 2016 election and the Trump campaign.

Eric Trump was lampooned in a November episode of Saturday Night Live, which presented a sketch about a fictitious 2016 meeting attended by Donald Trump Jr. (Mikey Day), Eric (Alex Moffat) and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange (Kate McKinnon).
