I love how this has never happened before yet they are completely ready for it and don't skip a beat. This show is class.

[AbbreviatedReviews]

I thought that would be a little more ceremonial considering it's never happened before. I'm glad they even knew what to do because he didn't really explain what was about to happen.

[daviddreiling]

a physical fight to submission would be better for tv ratings

[henrytherobot]

Look at the guy in the middle 1:16 lmao 5$ 😂

[ryanconrath]

I'm not particularly crazy about Jeopardy, but this is good stuff. For Trebek to transition like that, without missing a beat and foregoing the requisite fanfare, into the first tie breaker of his 32 year tenure as host is Zen as fuck.

Rest In Peace Alex. You will be forever missed, and our living rooms will never be the same again.

[magicman]

0:40 "dropping you to 5$"
The look on his face is priceless XD

[cbalan]

The way Alex just casually goes straight into the tie breaker, and the way it all comes down to who buzzes in first is insane.

[Rickbison]

They managed to tie and the guy made enough money to buy a fast food box meal.

[sampowellmusic]

The girl who lost was like ...wait! You mean we don’t have to write the answer down? Yep, You lost, see ya !

[jinx]

I have never seen so much excitement in Alex before!

[EspinosaT]

That's a change. In the past, when there was a tie for first place, they were both declared champions, kept their winnings, and returned on the next show as "returning co-champions."

[PotatoeChipz]

That moment when you're ready for the most exciting trending video in a week, then all hopes and dreams are crushed.

I know this is late but I remember watching this episode as a kid 6 years ago. I felt like how did the tie happen, I feel like I maybe might try to get on show since I’m 21 now I feel like I would do decent depending on the category. I felt the same about with Kristin sausville when she was the only one for final jeopardy back in 2015 9 years ago. I’m glad Laura won the tie breaker as she’s one of my favorite jeopardy contestants.

[SeemsLikeSomething]

Wow they really blasted through that tie breaker. No time wasted. I wonder if the other lady even knew it was a buzzer question lol

[alexanderwong]

Man why do people keep thinking it's the first tie ever. It literally says first tie breaker. How can there be not a tie for the past half century that this show had been around. There has even been triple ties.

[emmaw.]

Came here after watching the tie breaker on Jan. 22nd 2021. It's only been 2 weeks of Ken episodes but I miss hearing Alex's voice! RIP Trebek. <3

[Crimefighter]

Many years ago, ties resulted in co-champs going to the next day. They stopped that.

[NTYALC]

Should’ve just named the player who didn’t tie as the winner. Dude would’ve walked home happy as fuck with his free happy meal.

[tiredandobsessed]

I love the look Sarah has at 1:16. You can tell she how shocked she was by the tie.
