[cheers and applause] thank you all.eopardy!" our champion, cris pannullo, has been with us for a few weeks now, and what have we learned about our 20-game champ? well, we know he's a former poker player who obviously feels comfortable with big daily double wagers, despite, he says, not being a risktaker in everyday life. he has a 10-year-old pet rabbit named lentils, his girlfriend heather celebrates a birthday on february 21st, a number he often incorporates into his final jeopardy! wagers. he's the oldest of five siblings, loves the movie "spaceballs," hates olives, and his "jeopardy!" lunch of choice-- a salad with chickpeas and chicken and a banana on the side. [laughter] the most important thing to know about cris is that he's now a "jeopardy!" super-champion, who has won more money in regular season play than all but four players in "jeopardy!" history and more consecutive games than all but five. what we don't know is how this remarkable run will come to an end. i'm sure steph and ben are hoping this happens toda
