Another ABC quiz show has a new season tomorrow, but fans noticed a MAJOR error in the rollout.

The Chase is returning May 3 with new hosts Victoria Groce, Brandon Blackwell and recent Jeopardy! fan-favorite Buzzy Cohen, alongside Brad Rutter and the infamous James starting May 3.

Brad, James and Ken Jennings - the highest-earning winners ever on Jeopardy! - all previously hosted the show together.

When Ken bowed out of The Chase last month, many fans thought this was a huge clue he could be permanently hosting Jeopardy! full-time.

"What happened to @KenJennings?” one fan wrote to Twitter when Ken - who joined The Chase in January 2021 - was notably missing from the new line-up last month.

To which someone replied: "Jeopardy."

But in a new image, fans noticed a blatant blunder about something else entirely.

In a splashy promo one day before the premiere, the show advertised James as holding the "12th highest single day winning score in Jeopardy! history."

But James actually ALL 12 of the highest daily scores, not "12th," shocked fans noted.

'THAT'S NOT CORRECT'

Fans fumed over the quiz show's promo image, which has since been from Twitter.

"Whoever made that graphic didn't believe the real stat haha," one wrote on Twitter.

"Shouldn't '12th' read '12' and shouldn't 'score' read scores? There aren't 11 former contestants ahead of him," noted another.
