Perhaps Nostradamus is the next guest host.

A “Jeopardy” clue surprised viewers Friday night as the show, taped weeks in advance, appeared to predict the reunion of Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez.

“As a couple, they were jointly known as ‘Bennifer,'” was the clue. The first contestant to ring in, Justin, gave an incorrect response, but defending champ Amanda nailed it.

“Welp, Jeopardy just used the wrong tense on Bennifer!” one viewer joked.

Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck appear at the Oscars together in 2003.

Affleck, now 48, and Lopez, 51, were set to marry in September 2003 but called it off days in advance and split in January 2004.

The two moved onto other relationships in the next 17 years, but were spotted together in Montana earlier this month, shortly after Lopez and Yankees legend Alex Rodriguez broke up.

In a further flex of the show’s predictive powers, “Jeopardy” also had an entire Montana category Friday night.
