many times, our viewers have asked, "how do these people get to be that bright, and what makes them want to be contestants on the show?" keith, let's talk to you first. well, actually, it's all the doing of my wife. she -- and people had told me for years and years that i was good at trivia and that i should try out for "jeopardy!" and she said, "you know..." she was watching me play and she was like, "you're really good. you need to try out." and i kept saying, "no, no, no." and she was like, "no, all i want for christmas is for you to try out for 'jeopardy!'" and as a result, are here in our finals. so, good for rachel. yes, indeed. now, what about you, kristin? well, i had my serendipitous "jeopardy!" moment trying to get on the final "jeopardy!" clue of my semifinal game. and that was the "take five" question from the dave brubeck orchestra, which, ordinarily, i would have no clue. but just before flying out here, we went out to dinner, and there was a little ensemble playing "take five." my stepfather said, "do you know the name of that song?" i said, "nope." he's like, "it's 'take five.' it's a classic."
