CONTESTANT INTERVIEWS
Alex: Welcome back. This is the one and only time on Jeopardy! when the players get to talk about anything they want. Steve Mond, go for it.
Steve: Gonna say hello to my son, Nate. He is 14 years old and good for about 5 or so correct responses a game already. And as he gets older, that number's gonna go up, and my number's gonna go down, so it is a matter of time.
Alex: Did he give you any advice before--when he found out you were gonna be in this tournament?
Steve: He just said, "Play your best."
Alex: Okay.
Steve: And "I'm proud of you."
Alex: That's good advice.
Alex: Larry Martin, what about you?
Larry: Can I tell you about a favorite Marvel News interview?
Alex: Sure.
Larry: Second grader interviewed one of the most famous men on the planet, and I see his sport's on the board. But he needs to remain nameless, because she did a wonderful interview with him, some of the best questions I've ever seen, and his answers were long and interesting. But she spoke--
Alex: What sport are we talking?
Larry: I don't wanna say. She spoke to him by telephone, but then he sent the answers by email. And she came to me and said, "Mr. Martin, I'm sorry, it's a little bit late, because, well, he had to stop high school early to go play, and we had to fix a lot of his spelling mistakes."
Alex: I'm not going to volunteer the sport or the athlete I'm thinking of.
Alex: All right, Claire, your turn.
Claire: I just want to say salvete to all of my students and my Latin-speaking community in Lexington. And I also wanna thank my husband, John, for the countless hours he spent helping me prepare for this.
Alex: Okay, good.
