Jerry Lewis : May I tell you what a joy it is to be here? It's super-duper.
Alex Trebek : Good luck to all 3 of you. What do you say we take a look at our board. The categories are: celebrities, potpourri, popular music, movies, potent potables, U.S. history, and finally "S" words, which are words that begin with the letter S. Mr. Connery, it's your turn.
Sean Connery : Uh-- I'll, I'll take movies for 400.
