The long-running game show apparently attempted to get ahead of any possible outrage about the segment by tweeting a warning message at 5:11 p.m. ET Friday.

“Please note the clue in today’s show concerning Russia and Ukraine was recorded on Jan. 11, 2022,” the show wrote in the post, although it did not specify what was in the clue at the time.

The Post has reached out to Sony — which produces the show — for comment.

One commenter found the timing to be eerie. “Who would [have] thought they would be a major topic in the daily news only a few weeks later,” they offered. “Spooky.”

Another thought that the show should have known that a war might be happen, writing, “Y’all didn’t know an invasion was imminent? I knew last year it was a possibility.”

However, many tweeters seemed unbothered by the clue.

“Nothing offensive was said or written. No need for any form of clarification or explanation,” wrote one commenter, who added — in a nod to the show’s late, beloved longtime host Alex Trebek — “Side note: I miss Mr. Alex.”

“The fact they felt the need to ‘get in front of it’ is a clear indication for how sensitive and ridiculous cancel culture can be,” one unconcerned person responded, while another suggested, ​​”This is how you juice the f–king ratings right here.”

More than 1.2 million desperate Ukrainians — more than 2% of the country’s population — have attempted to flee the horrors in their country since Putin’s invasion one week ago. Meanwhile, on Friday, Russia was accused of using brutal “cluster bombs” to attack targets — including the northern city of Chernihiv, reportedly resulting in at least 33 civilian deaths — a claim it has denied.
