Jennings finally falters in "Jeopardy!".(Knight Ridder Newspapers)
Byline: Mark Washburn
CHARLOTTE, N.C. _ There's no question: Nancy Zerg is America's new quiz whiz.
In a finale that went down to the final question, Ken Jennings, 30, lost the "Jeopardy!" episode aired Tuesday to the 47-year-old real estate agent from Ventura, Calif.
TV's winningest quiz show contestant by virtue of a 75-episode run that saw him defeat 148 opponents, Jennings entered Final Jeopardy with $14,400, Zerg with $10,000.
The Final Jeopardy clue was: "Most of this firm's 70,000 seasonal employees work only four months a year."
Zerg smiled as host Alex Trebek revealed her correct answer, then her wager _ $4,401, bringing her to $14,401, a dollar ahead of Jennings.
Trebek turned to Jennings and revealed his answer: "What is Fedex?" Incorrect. Down to $5,601.
