00:44And now, here is the host of Jeopardy! Ken Jennings!
00:51Thank you, folks. Thank you, Johnny Gilbert. And welcome to Jeopardy!
00:55Yesterday's game was the closest that our 19-day champion, Jamie Ding, has come
00:59to seeing his incredible run end, as he was in second place heading into final Jeopardy!
01:04But thanks to a small wager and a tough clue about Hulk Hogan, Jamie was the victor
01:08and lived to play another day on the Alex Trebek stage.
01:11Alexandra, Pripish, let that be a reminder to you.
01:13Anything can happen in a game of Jeopardy!
01:15Good luck all. Allow me to run down for you the categories we have in the Jeopardy! round.
01:21First up, also found in a theater. Then a little Leo Pereo. Allow me to interject.
01:28From there we go to song lyrics, young adult fiction, and finally, you've heard of the seven wonders.
01:35These are the five blunders of the ancient world. Jamie?

02:44Allow me to interject for a thousand.
02:47Sherlock Holmes and others have used this phrase, originally referring to a Roman deity,
02:51to express surprise or add emphasis.

05:09That takes Alexandra up to negative 600.
05:11We'll get you back in the black when we return.
05:13Much more Jeopardy! coming up after this.
05:20Prithish David is with us from our nation's capital.
05:23He's a financial advisory consultant.
05:24And instead of sports in your family, Prithish, you have what?
05:28Well, we have Jeopardy!
05:29I don't think my parents or my wife can name more than five professional athletes,
05:34but they can definitely name more than five Jeopardy! players.
05:36You guys have arguments about Jeopardy! drafting and stuff.
05:39Yeah.
05:39I mean, I think normal families would talk about, you know, who's the GOAT, LeBron, Michael.
05:43In our family, it's, you know, just who's on Jeopardy?
05:46Who's the best right now?
05:47And is this going to be a big deal for you now that you could be in one of these
05:49conversations?
05:50I'm just happy to be included as one of the many people on the stage.
05:53Maybe you'll be in the GOAT conversation.
05:54We don't know yet.
05:56Alexandra Leith is here from Dedham, Massachusetts, a national account manager, married a few years ago.
06:01Tell us about some of the unusual events at your wedding.
06:03Yeah. So in two separate unrelated incidents, each of my brothers almost set fire to the venue.
06:08Wait, unrelated incidents?
06:10Yes. So at the beginning of the night, my brother and his wife were staying in one of
06:13the hotel rooms at the venue. They left not realizing there was a chair up against a lit fireplace.
06:17When they returned midway through the night to take the dog out, the room was filled with smoke.
06:21Wow.
06:22Uh, so crisis one averted. And then at the end of the night, my younger brother was given a glass
06:26of a liqueur to try, decided he did not like it and disposed of it by tossing it into another
06:31lit fireplace,
06:32resulting in somewhat of a fireball.
06:33The first one seems a little innocent. Second brother might be bad news.
06:37Like, he's the bad boy of the wedding, I think, Alexandra.
06:40Our champion is Jamie Ding, of course, with us for the 20th time.
06:44Jamie, Jeopardy! contestants are often helped out by mnemonics or memory aids,
06:48but you like a particular kind of mnemonic, right?
06:50Yes, I like bad mnemonics.
06:52What's a bad mnemonic?
06:53It's one that I come up with immediately on the spot when trying to come up with a mnemonic,
06:59and occasionally it ends up being good, which is really exciting.
07:01Do you never remember it?
07:02Well, I end up remembering the good ones, so it's survival of the fittest.
07:06There we go.
07:07Like, for example, uh, Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa.
07:09Okay.
07:10Mauna Loa, L equals large and lower, so it's not as tall as Mauna Kea,
07:15and Mauna Kea is like Keanu Reeves, who is tall but not particularly bulky, so it's less massive.
07:21Holy cow, I think I'm actually going to remember this now.
07:22You have changed my crossword puzzle life, Jamie.
07:25Yay.
07:25Well done.
07:26Alexandra, the next choice is yours.
07:28Which clue?
