Well, that's one way to keep yourself grounded.

Megyn Kelly got hit with a dose of reality Monday night when she played a clip from "Jeopardy!" that asked about the "blonde" Fox News weeknight anchor. The contestants were stumped, especially the one brave woman who hit her buzzer only to say, "Nancy Grace" and be totally wrong.

"Don't be fooled, I am huge!" Kelly joked after not a single contestant knew who she was. "There's always something to keep your ego in check."

Kelly noted that the question was put in the $800 category, "so they knew it was going to be hard," she said.

Watch the video clip to see this hilarious moment.
