Ain’t no mountain high enough for two “Jeopardy!” contestants to escape their Diana Ross gaffe on an episode this week. (Watch the video below.)

On Monday’s show, the Final Jeopardy clue read: “In 2021 at age 95, this singer achieved a Guinness World Record for the oldest person to release an album of new material.”

Contestants Karen Johnson and Finn Corrigan, the defending champ, guessed Ross ― the R&B legend who is, ahem, 77 until Saturday.

Only contestant Margaret Chipowsky correctly replied “Tony Bennett” to climb from third place to victory.

Johnson apologized for her goof on Twitter, saying she just needed to write “something” for an answer. Corrigan seconded the notion.

As for Ross, the former Supremes star was too busy spreading love on Instagram Wednesday to worry about a game show.

Fast-forward to 17:45 for Final Jeopardy.
