'$100,000 Pyramid' contestant was asked a very simple question, and boy did he get slammed for his answer

A contestant named Evan Kaufman made a blunder of confusing Barack Obama with Osama bin Laden and the viewers are not forgiving
UPDATED AUG 14, 2018

On Sunday's episode of ABC's 'The $100,000 Pyramid,' a contestant made the mistake of mixing up 9/11 mastermind Osama bin Laden with former US President Barack Obama.

The game show which pairs a contestant with a celebrity as they offer clues on topics for their partner to guess, saw the contestant in question, a new father named Evan Kaufman, partnered with 'Saturday Night Live' alum Tim Meadows. 

As Kaufman's round began, starting with the easiest topics at the bottom of the pyramid, the hint in question was "People Whose Last Name Is Obama." Instead of citing the former president or his wife, Michelle, Kaufman first said "Bin Laden" before offering the name Barack after a pause. Meadows quickly offered the correct answer after Kaufman provided the former president's first name.
