Leonard Cooper’s response to the final ‘Jeopardy’ answer ‘On June 6, 1944, the eyes of the world are upon you.’
“Best final answer in game show history” for 400, Alex.
A laid back but gutsy teenager stole the show on “Jeopardy” Tuesday night with what many are saying is the most extraordinary “Final Jeopardy” answer in the game show’s history.
Leonard Cooper, 17, won this week’s “Jeopardy Teen Tournament” challenge with an epic response that left his competitors shocked and host Alex Trebek chuckling.
With Cooper’s bank reading $37,000, well ahead of his two opponents, before the final question, Trebek delivered the “Final Jeopardy” answer.
“On June 6, 1944,” he said, “The eyes of the world are upon you.”

Leonard Cooper, nervous at first, went on to win $75,000 in ‘Jeopardy’s’ Teen Tournament.
Cooper didn’t know the answer, but wrote a memorable line that secured his victory.
“Who is some guy in Normandy. But I just won $75,000!” he wrote.
A gleeful Trebek responded, “You did indeed, way to go, come on over here!”
The correct answer was Dwight D. Eisenhower.
The hilarious response capped an eventful show for the teen.

Cooper, a high school senior from Little Rock, Ark., was way behind early in the game, having only accumulated $3,000 in his bank, compared to $19,000 and $17,600 for the other two contestants.
Cooper, who was dressed casually and sported a large Afro hairdo, also appeared to be nervous. At one point, hurriedly rubbing his shoulders and chest, he struggled to remember the word “collarbone,” the answer to the question.
But a series of bold strategic moves helped him get back into the game quickly.
At one point, he risked nearly his entire winnings, $18,000, in a gutsy “Double Jeopardy” challenge. He answered correctly, though, doubling his bank at the time to $36,200.
But it proved to be only the second most unforgettable answer in an impressive win.

Paul Marin -19 is one thing, 20 is a whole other matter. It gets even worse if they win the UCL. *groan*.
