(Alex: Bob, you won a lot of fans here with that gutsy move on that Daily Double. Let's take a look and see if you were able to come up with the Final Jeopardy! response. Who is [*]?)
(Bob: [Shaking his head] No.)
(Alex: Yeah, you're right.)
(Bob: Oh, is it?)
(Alex: It is.)
(Bob: Okay.)
(Alex: You double your score to $800. We add that to what he had yesterday, and that gives him a 2-day total of $7,600. Eric, you had $12,800 today, and your response was... correct also. How much did you wager? Everything. You move to $25,600. Brad was leading yesterday and he was leading going into Final again today. Did he come up with [*]?)
(Brad: In very bad handwriting.)
(Alex: Very bad handwriting. You had to risk... You had to risk enough... $201.)
[Some of the audience gasp at Brad's seemingly low wager.]
(Alex: That takes $13,801 today. When you add that to $11,800--the margin is a dollar, but it makes you a millionaire!)
(Brad: Oh, my God!)
(Alex: Enjoy the moment, Brad!)
