    The funny thing about the #1 entry is that while making their Daily Double wager, a contestant said "I'd like to buy a vowel, uh, true daily double". As a result, Alex pretended to look upset, as he looked to his right and yelled "Vanna!!!???".

    I guess this was done while Ken Jennings was in the middle of his run in 2004. I seem to recall someone talking about buying a vowel on Celebrity Jeopardy recently. Also, I notice many times on other game shows where people say "what is" to act like they are on Jeopardy.
