THE LAST WOOD
(Alex: A brief word of explanation. Here on Jeopardy! we try to be current and reflect what's happening in our society. You know, one of the big films of the past year was Rocky IV. That was a sequel of a sequel of a sequel of a sequel. Well, we've learned to do that on our show also. Last year, you'll recall, ladies and gentlemen, we had WOOD. We followed that up with SON OF WOOD. We then got real hot and started off this year with WOOD III. You have my assurances that with THE LAST WOOD, today's category, we've gone about as far as we can go with wood.)
