Greensboro, NC -- Silence filled the studio during taping of Tuesday night's episode of Jeopardy when the contestants were asked a question about a local landmark.

Contestant Ben Davis pick category "The Newseum" for $2000.

"Answer: A key moment in the Civil Rights era was a sit-in protest after four black students were refused service at an all-white F.W.Woolworth lunch counter in this North Carolina city," host Alex Trebek asked while standing in front of the photo.

After about three second of silence, Alex revealed the question was "What is Greensboro."

Jeopardy! runs on WFMY News 2 on weeknights at 7:30 pm.
