that’s a nice daily double you’ve got there. it would be a real shame if something were to happen to it

The way Alex says, “YES!“ when Phillip gives the correct question is beyond priceless; you can hear the immense amount of relief in his voice. It’s never specified how much time contestants get to come up with the correct response to regular round clues or daily double clues, as the hosts control that “time’s up“ buzzer, but I imagine he gave that response just in time.

I have both sailed into Vancouver's port and driven across the border from Washington to Vancouver. I knew the answer right away! Glad he got it right!

You know, I remember being in his proof and logic class one semester and seeing him on Jeopardy! the next semester. His choice of wager was unsurprising.
