(Alex: Nancy, you wrote down your response rather quickly, I thought; I hope it's correct. Let's take a look.)
(Nancy: I hope so, too. [Chuckles] )
(Alex: "What is [*]?" You're right. Your wager? $4,401--taking you up to $14,401. You have a $1 lead over Ken Jennings right now, and his Final response was... FedEx.)
[Upon his incorrect response reveal, Ken slaps his podium; the audience gasps.]
(Alex: His wager was... $5,601. He winds up in second place with $8,799, and Nancy Zerg, congratulations! You are indeed a giant killer!)
[Ken hugs Nancy; the audience cheers.]
(Alex: Our new Jeopardy! champion! $14,401! Ken, take a look at the audience! The audience is paying tribute to not only Nancy, but to you as well. All good things have to come to an end, don't they? Well, too bad for Ken, but he's going home with a lot of money--$2.5 million. Congratulations, young man. Nancy will be back tomorrow to defend for the first time. We will see her, two new players, and you then. So long, everybody!)
