Transcript

It all comes down to this clue in the category current TV streaks. Let's reveal the Final Jeopardy clue. The longest tenured male actor on a prime time show, he released the now ironically titled album Home Invasion back in 1993. Thirty seconds, players. Good luck. Shannon Lee Godwin is in third place with 5,600. Who did you come up with, Shannon, for a current TV streak? Who is Ice Tier? And that's correct. He now investigates home invasions and other crimes on Law and Order SVU. He's been playing Finn Tutuola for over twenty five years, if you can believe it. What was your wager, Shannon? You had $5,000 taking you to 10,600. What about Stephanie Landweer in second place with 13,400? Does she have iced tea? She's correct as well. You wagered $6,000. So you're now in the lead with 19,400. Spencer Murphy now down by 200 needs to get this right. Did he think about iced tea? No. Tim Allen. What was the wager? You wagered $760.01. That'll drop you down to second place, and it makes Stephanie Landauwehr today's new Jeopardy champion with $19,400.
