Carlo Panno?! Aren't you that guy mentioned in The Jeopardy! Book as a contestant from the Fleming version who came on to buy an engagement ring? The way you played is one reminder of why only the winners keep their cash in the current version. [/quote]
Actually, I met the woman I married while I was a contestant on Jeopardy! in 1978, so no, getting money for an engagement ring was not on my mind at the time. And, as it happens, we got married the week I started on the current Jeopardy! in 1985.
As to the rest, Zach nailed it. I still have "the Cross-Wits couch," as my wife and kids call it, and also the Rice-A-Roni prize card that Steven gave me before I left Jeopardy!
Thanks for the warm welcome. I look forward to participating.
