I hit my knees every night and pray for the Lord to smite him.

Honestly it bothers my friends a lot more than it bothers me, mostly because they don't know him. Not to get all sappy, but he actually is a great guy and a wonderful ambassador for the show.

I mostly get the "if you're so smart, tell me what my great-aunt's middle name is, hahahaha." Never fails to bring a smile to my face, and I usually end up buying that guy dinner, which then leads to lifelong friendship.

I loved Press your Luck when I was a kid, but it didn't work nearly as well when they brought it back. I'd love to go on a new version of Supermarket Sweep and shove other people out of the way while loading up my cart with laundry detergent, diapers, and Folgers coffee. Good times.

Almost always. There were a few times in the BotD that I thought I could come up with it after I rang in, and they didn't go so well.

These are both great questions, FWIW.

1) This is like when someone wins at the Oscars and they have a list of people to thank -- I'm terrified of leaving someone out. I will say that Frank Spangenberg and Jerome Vered were the guys I thought were really impressive when I was a teenager. Otherwise, you can't go wrong with any of the Battle of the Decades players. I think Roger Craig deserves a special mention, because he hung super tough with Ken and me in the finals and also because he gave me 20 bucks to drop his name.

2) I think it's good to be lucky in everything, sports, Jeopardy!, whatever. I do carry a horseshoe with me at all times -- it's stashed somewhere very uncomfortable....
