Final was a snap for me. Last weekend I played with Playdoh with my grandson.

Zane reminds me of Alex P. Keaton. Zane will be on Jeopardy! again when he is older.
Be alert. Stupid never takes a day off!

That is what I thought. Also, Zane Ice is a cool name.
They could have named him "T".
Or "Bud"!

Or "Culas" (pronounced "cool as").

I'm just waiting for the birth announcement in the local paper (or whatever the equivalent will be in about 15 years) announcing the first child of him and his wife: ICE-ICE BABY.

Unless I'm missing something (and, as a former Kids' Week contestant myself, I'd like to know if I am), I'm pretty sure these kids can't go back on Jeopardy! again until Alex retires.

Except by invitation.

There have been some 'reunion' shows. I don't remember if they had originally been kids or teens. It didn't go over quite as well as it might have, so I don't expect it to be repeated.

It is possible, though.

If I had 50 cents for every math question I got right, I'd have $6.30 by now.

11/16-11/20/1998 saw the only Teen Reunion week while 9/15-9/19/2008 saw the only Kids week reunion show. Seems like a kids' week reunion is more likely at this point as they did it a decade more recently.

It's a pretty safe bet that by the time those kids are 18, Alex will no longer be on the show. He's not around for another 7-8 years.

Maybe they'll do what TPIR did after Barker retired and allow players to reapply for the show who were on 10 or more years ago originally. THe original Let's Make a Deal and 70s-80s Pyramid allowed players to try out again x amount of years later(actress Mel Harris was a contestant on Pyramid in 1979 and in 1985)

I considered Legos, but Play-Doh came to mind first and I stuck with it.
I actually thought of Lego first but switched to Play-Doh in plenty of time.
I thought of legos and went with it, even though it didn't sound right. I've never heard of Play-Doh, or to be more precise, I've never heard of the English term. The Finnish term for it can be translated as molding wax.

I believe you, and the 3 contestants, are the only four people on Earth who fit that description. There was so much media coverage of Jeter this year, even in the non-sports world, that anyone who's never heard of him is either Amish, or has been living on an island with a volleyball for the last 20 years.
Yes, if by "Earth" you mean the US. I know who he is, but I'm pretty sure no one else in my family and 80-90% of my friends have never heard of him.
