LOS ANGELES — “What is… yes!”

“Now ladies and gentleman, normally when I interview the contestants I base my conversation on little bits of information they’ve supplied us, but with regard to Michael Pascuzzi from Orlando, Fla., I have absolutely nothing on the card,” said host Alex Trebek in the clip.
