Sony’s 3000 Pictures label is reportedly putting together a new Single White Female film – Jenna Ortega and Taylor Russell will star.

While the title might get an update, 1992’s Single White Female is reportedly getting the remake treatment at Sony’s 3000 Pictures Label. According to The InSneider, the psychological thriller has been plucked from the vaults and is being redeveloped as a project for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice's Jenna Ortega and Bones And All's Taylor Russell.

The original film hails from 1992, one of Hollywood’s greatest decades for thrillers. Directed by Barbet Schroeder, the film starred Bridget Fonda as a New York software designer who puts out an ad for a female roommate. After accepting a young woman played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, things start to go sideways when her new acquaintance begins to exhibit some rather disturbing behaviour.

The film was a commercial success at the time, earning $84.1 million from a $16 million budget.

Happy Death Day and Freakydirector Christopher Landon pushes another familiar genre premise to satisfyingly absurd heights in his latest film, Drop. Co-stars Meghann Fahy and Brandon Sklenar are game for the delightfully bonkers thriller, which turns the horrifying experience of dating as a woman into a literal fight for survival.

Following the death of her abusive husband, Violet (Fahy) has become a successful therapist who treats victims of domestic violence. Given her traumatic past and the demands of raising a cartoonishly adorable kid, Violet (understandably) hasn’t been on a date in years. After exchanging DMs with a nice photographer named Henry (Sklenar) for a few months, Violet agrees to a first date at a bougie restaurant atop a massive high-rise with killer views.

Within minutes of arriving, their date is already on thin ice: Henry is running late, Violet is worried about her kid, and their server (Jeffrey Self...

Raymond Goslow, a library technology consultant from Marietta, Georgia, faced off against fan-favorite Troy Meyer, a music executive from Cleveland, Ohio, and Jackie Kelly, a developer from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Goslow is the 2022 National College Championship first runner-up. Meyer is the most seasoned out of all three as the 2024 Tournament of Champions second runner-up and Season 39 six-game champion. Kelly is a Season 38 four-game champion as well as the 2022 ToC quarterfinalist. During the first round of the game show, out of 30 questions, Meyer correctly answered nine, including the Daily Double. He answered two incorrectly. This made his total a tie with Goslow at $7,400. Kelly was in last place with $1,600. In Double Jeopardy!, it was ...

In the fifth game of the 2025 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions, Adriana Harmeyer from West Lafayette, Indiana, Isaac Hirsch from Burbank, California, and Neilesh Vinjamuri from Lionville, Pennsylvania, all competed for another win, and there was one mistake that cost Harmeyer, an archivist, the game.

At the end of the first round, Vinjamuri was in the lead with $6,600, Hirsch had $3,400, and Harmeyer was in last place with $2,000. However, Harmeyer quickly gained the lead as she correctly answered one of the Daily Doubles in Double Jeopardy!, bringing her total to $8,000. Vinjamuri quickly caught up to her throughout the round. He pulled ahead after she mispronounced a word, causing her to lose the game. Vinjamuri picked the category “Pop Culture Jeopardy” for $1,600. The clue was a picture of an actress as host Ken Jennings read the question: “She was the...

Jeopardy! fans are biting their nails as they wait to crown a winner of the 2025 Jeopardy! Tournament of Champions. Going into game four, Neilesh Vinjamuri from Lionville, Pennsylvania, led with two wins, Adriana Harmeyer from West Lafayette, Indiana, has one, and Isaac Hirsch from Burbank, California, still had no wins under his belt. However, his luck changed as he scored his first win on Wednesday’s (February 12) episode. However, some fans didn’t think the customer support team lead should have won Final Jeopardy! because his handwriting made his answer look like a completely different word. Throughout the entire game, Hirsch had a wide lead over his other two competitors. He had $7,000 at the end of the first round, compared to Harmeyer’s $2,800 and Vinjamuri’s $4,200. Harmeyer maintained her nearly $3,000 amount as Hirsch and Vinjamuri competed for another win. However, by the end of Double Jeopardy!, Hirsch led with almost $10,000 more than Vinjamuri.

Have you ever wondered what the most money a contestant could win in a single game of Jeopardy! is? Well, so have many others, and one particular fan has done the math to figure out the exact number. On the Jeopardy! Reddit forum, one user calculated that the most money a person could win on a single day of Jeopardy! is $566,400, though, as they pointed out, achieving this feat would be “impossible.” The user worked it out by assuming the contestant “gets every clue correct,” the “Daily Doubles are the smallest dollar amounts for that round,” the contestant “selects the Daily Doubles last” and “wagers their entire amount,” and then “they win Final Jeopardy, also wagering their entire amount. ” Taking this into account, the hypothetical contestant would end the Jeopardy round with $35,600 and the Double Jeopardy round with $283,200. If the contestant then wagered that entire amount on the Final Jeopardy clue and got it correct,...

Jeopardy! fan favorite Isaac Hirsch made things hard for himself on Wednesday’s (February 5) Tournament of Champions semifinals after some risky wagers almost cost him a spot in the finals. Hirsch, a customer support team lead from Burbank, California, won fans over during his five-game winning streak last July for his snazzy dress sense and impressive trivia knowledge. On Wednesday, he returned to the Alex Trebek Stage to take on fellow Season 41 champions Amy Hummel, an ER doctor from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and Mark Fitzpatrick, a content manager from Riverside, Connecticut. Things got off to a bumpy start for Hirsch when he went all-in on the first Daily Double of the night. He answered it wrong, leading to a $3,200 deficit and allowing his opponents to jump ahead. However, he quickly made up for it by answering 14 correct clues by the end of the first round, giving him a solid lead with $5,000 heading into Double Jeopardy.

Jeopardy! fans are upset because they missed Drew Goins winning the Wildcard. Drew is a fan favorite competing in the semifinals. Keep reading to find out why fans missed the show.

Disappointed Fans Express Their Feelings On Social Media

When it comes to Jeopardy! questions, the players on the show are very smart in a variety of areas. However, there are at least two spots where these players often come up short.

During a recent episode of Jeopardy!, fans were upset over a player’s recent response. The clue, which was part of Double Jeopardy, revolved around women’s anatomy. Many took to social media to discuss the response.

The Question Revolved Around The Reproductive System

During this past Wednesday’s episode, Drew Wheeler competed with Kevin Laskwoski and Julia Chan. Early on, Wheeler did quite well on the show, earning $3.5K by the end of the first round.

However, during the Double Jeopardy! Round, Wheeler was thrown off by a certain clue which asked about a temporary organ that helps a pregnant woman provide nutrition to her developing baby.

Taking to the show’s Reddit page, one user noted, “I audibly groaned after Drew’s answer.

This has been a tough season for Jeopardy! champions. So few champions have won more than three games this season that the Tournament of Champions is sending out invites to people with only three wins. Another champion fell recently, with Adam Hersh losing after only one win.

Here is what caused Adam to fall apart in the episode where he lost.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Thursday, November 7 episode of Jeopardy!] Greg Jolin has been dominating Jeopardy! this week, but fans were stunned by the end of his five-day winning streak. Known for a perfect Final Jeopardy record, the professional-level Magic: The Gathering player shocked viewers by folding on what some called an “easy” clue. On Thursday, November 7, the system specialist and accountant from Raymond, New Hampshire, entered with a five-day total of $135,002 and a guaranteed slot in the next Tournament of Champions. He faced Sammy Sanchez, a bartender and private tutor from Kansas City, Missouri, and Susan Stumme, a journalist from Arlington, Virginia.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for the Friday, November 1 episode of Jeopardy!] Jeopardy! players all have knowledge gaps, but they can usually skirt by without facing them on arrival.

On Jeopardy!, a contestant can technically know what the right response could be. However, the wrong pronunciation could still cost them the win. This happened on a recent episode of the game show, all concerning a certain dog breed, and fans are upset about it.

A Dog Breed Became A Subject Of Debate For Jeopardy! Fans

On an episode that aired this past Thursday, contestant Will Wallace landed on the Double Jeopardy. The category was “Photographers and their Craft,” with a clue worth $1,600.

The clue read “William Wegman’s claim to fame—whimsical portraits of this dog breed that also starts with ‘W.'” The correct answer was “Weimaraner.”

A painter and a photographer, Wegman is known for featuring his dogs in various costumes. In pop culture, he is also known for his dogs’ appearances on various segments on Sesame Street.

Rishabh Wuppalapati was looking to close out a week with no shortage of drama (from hellish handwriting to woeful wagers) as a four-day Jeopardy! champ. But he was decisively outplayed on Friday, October 18 by an opponent whose first big challenge, as she shared on social media, was just getting into the studio. The 19-year-old sophomore at the University of Pennsylvania from Vernon Hills, Illinois entered with a three-day total of $52,802. He faced Kelly Gates, a librarian from Medford, Massachusetts, and Kyle Compton-Troesch, a civil engineer from Cincinnati, Ohio. In the Jeopardy! round, Wuppalapati came out swinging, nabbing the Daily Double immediately for a wide lead of $5,800 by the commercial break. After the break, his opponents crept up and he narrowly led with $6,400, while Gates, who shared that her team of librarians once beat four-day champ Maureen O’Neil at a trivia conference (“never come back”), had $4,000, and Compton-Troesch $3,800. In Double Jeopardy!

Jeopardy! contestants have to go through a process before they get to compete on the show. One recent contestant, Zoe Grobman, shared her experience on social media. She even revealed she was in for a surprise when she met other possible contestants in the “green room.”

One Player Wagered Everything In The End

Zoe Grobman competed with returning two-day winner Eamonn Campbell and University of Pennsylvania undergrad student Rishabh Wuppalapati. By the end of the first round, Campbell was in the lead with $6,600. Wuppalapati was in second with $3,400, while Grobman had $600.

However, Grobman would end up taking second as the game went into the Final Jeopardy. The “Presidential Nomination Acceptance Speeches” category shared the following clue: “He talked of a “new Attorney General” 4 times, the end of a ‘long dark night for America’ & ‘a gentle Quaker mother.’” The correct response was “Who is Richard Nixon?”

Spencer Treat Clark's acting career got off to a promising start at the turn of the millennium when the 12-year-old, coming off of appearances in "Arlington Road" and "Double Jeopardy," booked roles in what wound up being two of 2000's biggest hits: Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and M. Night Shyamalan's "Unbreakable." Three years later, he landed the part of Silent Ray in Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River," at which point it felt like we might be watching Clark grow into one of the top actors of his generation.

While Clark has worked steadily since then, he seems to be settling into more of a character actor groove –- which is a great place to be! But you have to wonder how the now 37-year-old performer feels when he happens across a trailer for "Gladiator II" and sees Paul Mescal mixing it up in the Coliseum as Lucius Verus,...

Ryan Manton came into his third Jeopardy! game with a pair of back-to-back runaway victories under his belt, but third time was not a charm during Wednesday’s (October 2) episode. Instead, the two-time champion found himself in deep trouble all game long until another player made a costly mistake. And, finally, Manton had to try his hand at Final Jeopardy to stay in it. Manton, a systems administrator from Ohio, faced off with Erin Ward, a software developer from Ontario, Canada, and Scott Tcheng, an ER doctor from San Francisco. The first round was relatively competitive. Though Manton, despite his apparent aversion to Daily Doubles, found the first one on the very first buzz-in and got it correct, he could only wager and win $1,000. By the end of the first round, Manton was tied with Tcheng for $5,800, while Ward was right on their tails with $3,600. In Double Jeopardy, though, the...

Some Jeopardy! contestants might not win the game, but can still win the hearts of fans in the end. One recent contestant didn’t make it through the episode’s Final Jeopardy! question. However, fans are already asking for them to get a second chance.

It All Came Down To Shakespeare & A Certain King Of Scotland

The September 25th episode saw three contestants: Drew Goins, David Erb, and Diane Lochner. Throughout the episode, fans noticed Goins and Erb, who was playing his third consecutive game, in particular went head-to-head with each other.

By the end of the first round, Goins had the lead. However, a Daily Double helped Erb double his score, putting him on top. By Double Jeopardy!, however, Goins got close to Erb, reaching $16,800 and $22,000, respectively. In the end, Final Jeopardy! would decide the winner.

Before her fame as a movie star, Ashley Judd appeared in two episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation as Ensign Robin Lefler.

Throughout Tng's seven seasons, some surprising faces popped up on the show before going on to have major Hollywood careers.

It’s still quite early in the new season of Jeopardy!, but have we already got one of the top choices for second-chance play? Some fans seem to think so after watching Tuesday (September 17) night’s play. The episode featured returning champion Aiden Orzech facing off against newcomers Will Yancey, a history lecturer from Texas, and Alisa Kindsfater, an English teacher from Arkansas. Things got off to an amazing start for Yancey in the first round, as he answered nine questions correctly, including a True Daily Double, and went into the first break with a lead. Things only got better for him for the rest of the first round, as he got another seven correct and extended his lead to a whopping $12,000 over the returning champ’s $2,600 and Kindsfater’s $400. Things changed in Double Jeopardy, however. Whereas Yancey got just five right (and both he and Kindsfater missed their Daily...

[Warning: The following contains Major spoilers for the July 26, 2024 episode of Jeopardy!] That’s a wrap on Jeopardy! Season 40. The game show’s last episode of the season featured the unseating of the returning champ thanks to a big bet in the final round. Playing in the July 26 episode were returning champ Davey Morrison, an actor and screenwriter originally from Provo, Utah; Steve Babish, a marketing content strategist from San Jose, California; and Rachel Bradley, an Esl instructor from Greenbelt, Maryland. Davey was a two-day champ with a total winnings of $29,012. While Davey had a large lead by the first break, Rachel staged a serious comeback by the end of round one. The scores going into Double Jeopardy were Davey with $4,000, Steve with $2,400, and Rachel with $3,800. And then it was Steve who dominated round two. A Daily Double helped increase his lead to $7,100. He lost $2,000 on the next Daily Double, but was ...

Many Jeopardy! questions are obscure and hard for most people, but for some the answers come easily. This happened with a St. Louis-based question about dog food. The answer stumped all three contestants, but many fans at home instantly knew it. Even Ken Jennings delivered the answer as if it was common knowledge.

Here is the question the contestants missed and what fans had to say about it.

Jeopardy Fans Miss Dog Food-Related Question

On Tuesday’s Jeopardy! episode, Isaac Hirsch was defending his streak (four days at the time) against Kathy Davis, a chemistry professor, and Anna Paone, a stay-at-home mom. By the end of the game, Isaac had won his fifth game in a row.

YouTube/Jeopardy!

However, along the way, one question stumped everyone. Ken Jennings read the Double Jeopardy! question from “A Shapely Category.” He said, “Now part of Nestlé, this pet food brand is headquartered at Checkerboard Square in St.

Is Jeopardy! pulling a fast one with some unstated new answer expectations? Some fans seem to think so after Friday’s (July 12) episode. The episode saw Isaac Hirsch face a new set of competitors — chemistry professor Mike Ferguson and attorney Ashley Weaver — and notch his eighth consecutive victory with $34,001 added to his winnings for an 8-day total of $195,389. A point of controversy arose during the episode’s Double Jeopardy round regarding the “First Ladies” category. In response to Weaver being deemed wrong for not including Ida McKinley’s first name in an answer, one fan wrote on Reddit, “Ok, so apparently now they’re requiring first names for First Ladies?” The commenter then referenced a previous complaint about the same issue, which included pointing out several instances where the same category did not require the use of the first name, including a game in 2022 and another in 2018. In the latter,...

Jeopardy! Season 40 has been full of five-time-or-more champions of late, but is Isaac Hirsch the one to beat when it comes to the Tournament of Champions pool? Some fans are starting to think so. On Wednesday’s (July 10) episode of Jeopardy!, Hirsch was matched with entrepreneur Larry P. Wellington and fundraiser Alex Pribil for his sixth consecutive game, and his performance has left some fans drawing major comparisons to some all-time-great Jeopardy! champs. Things started out on an auspicious note for Hirsch right out of the gate, as he trounced the competition in correct answers, netting $8,000 on 15 answers to Pribil’s $3,200 and Wellington’s $1,800. The competition tightened a bit in Double Jeopardy, though, as Wellington picked up speed and Pribil nabbed both Daily Doubles. (For the first, he bet it all and lost $4,400 after not knowing the Nile ...

Isaac Hirsch continued his winning streak on Tuesday night’s (July 9) episode of Jeopardy! but not without a little drama. Hirsch competed against chemistry professor Kathy Davis and stay-at-home mom Anna Paone for his fifth game and found himself in a bit of hot water at the start of the first round: Davis was a far better buzzer than him at first. Eventually, though, he caught up, and by the start of Double Jeopardy, he led the pack with $4,200 to Davis’ $3,800 and Paone’s $2,600. And that’s when the real drama began. During Double Jeopardy, Hirsch had a staggering number of incorrect answers become correct after reconsideration. In all, there were three of his answers that producers eventually accepted, adding a whopping $4,000 to his winnings and putting him at $19,400 to Paone’s $9,800 and Davis’ $3,800 ahead of Final Jeopardy. Just a few hundred points shy of a runaway, Hirsch’s fate...

Jeopardy! viewers are outraged at Ken Jennings.

After a contestant missed a clue by one letter “S,” critics are taking aim at the 50-year-old trivia show host.

During the Double Jeopardy round in Wednesday’s episode of Jeopardy!, returning champion Kelly Proulx, a communications director from Billerica, Massachusetts, took a chance and buzzed in.

The $2,000 clue, in the category Waterfalls, read, “A Yosemite fall with a wispy ribbon of water that flutters in the air like a diaphanous cloth bears the name of this marital wear.”

Kelly’s response to Ken was, “What is Bridalveil Falls?”

Unfortunately for Kelly, Ken, and the elusive Jeopardy! judges, her answer was rejected because she made it plural.

“No, I’m sorry,” Ken revealed to Kelly. “It’s actually Bridalveil Fall, so we couldn’t take that. It is, ‘What is a Bridalveil?’”

While several Jeopardy! fans were rooting for champ Drew Basile to meet his demise, others were enjoying his gameplay. However, the final day had some shocking problems that fans noticed led to his downfall.

Fans Have Mixed Feelings About Drew Basile

Undeniably, many fans were ecstatic to see a crossover between Survivor and Jeopardy! Seeing a familiar face on TV is an interesting way to get to know more about a person. However, as Drew Basile’s confident personality took the stage for Jeopardy!, not everyone was a fan of his playing style. Many found him to be a “sore winner” and often too “obnoxious.” But some people really like how he livened up the stage with his enthusiasm for being correct. Undoubtedly, the show was a glimpse of the arduous process contestants face while playing the game.

Drew Basile – Jeopardy! Drew Basile’s Luck Runs Out

Before the final match,...

Drew Basile finished his Jeopardy! stint with an impressive seven-day run before finally losing on Friday, June 28. However, along the way, a record was almost broken by one of his competitors. On Monday, Erin Buker was one of the competitors, and she almost broke the record for the lowest score in history.

Here is a look at how Erin did in the game and what she had to say about her futility.

Jeopardy! Contestant Almost Sets All-Time Worst Game

Stay-at-home mother Erin Buker was on Jeopardy! and she finished the game with the second-lowest score in history. Her final total in the game was -$7,200. This put her, obviously, in last place behind Drew and Graham Hicks.

Erin went into the Double Jeopardy! round with -$400. By the end of that round, she had dropped to -$7,200 and was eliminated from Final Jeopardy!

Jeopardy! has been in the news lately for several problems, including inconsistent judging on the pronunciation of words. There has also been some problems with poorly worded questions almost meant to trip players up. However, the most recent talk surrounds a strangely worded category that has fans laughing.

Here is what made the category so funny and what fans had to say about it.

Jeopardy! Called Out For “Inappropriate” Category Name

On a recent edition of Jeopardy!, fans pointed out a category title that surely had players giving second thoughts before calling out the name of the category with a money total. This came on Tuesday when Drew Basile defended his run against Nevada native Alan Elverum, and Chicago school teacher Staci Garner.

Survivor alum Drew Basile is applying that show’s “outwit, outplay, outlast” philosophy to Jeopardy! Drew won his third Jeopardy! game in the June 21 episode, defeating one of his opponents in a rare Tiebreaker Round. In Friday’s game, Drew, who’s a graduate student from Birmingham, Michigan, faced Josh Heit, a government relations professional from Silver Spring, Maryland, and Richelle Brown, a substitute teacher from Alexandria, Virginia. Drew was just ahead of Josh by the first commercial break, and Richelle rallied to replace Josh in second place at the end of the Jeopardy! round. But Drew widened his lead in Double Jeopardy! — especially with a correct response on a $4,000 Daily Double wager. At the end of that round, Drew had a score of $20,000, Josh had $10,000, and Richelle had $1,000. Then came the Final Jeopardy! round — a clue about which sports star got a “standing ovation in the Deep South,” per Vin Scully,...

Jeopardy!‘s latest champion is leaving fans scratching their heads over his game strategy as former Survivor player Drew Basile returned for his second match on June 20. The only person to play both Jeopardy! and Survivor, Drew should be a pro at gameplay, but viewers were calling out his low and unclear wager requests during the Double Jeopardy! round as he uncovered both Daily Double clues. The second Daily Double of the day came with the $1,600 clue in the category “Museums,” which read, “On view at the National Museum of Women in the Arts is a self-portrait of Frida Kahlo dedicated to this Russian exile.” Drew provided the correct response of “Who was Trotsky?” but only wagered $3,000. The third Daily Double was uncovered under the $1,200 clue in the category “Hit the Road, Jaques,” which read, “Philosopher Jacques Derrida was born in this African country when it was governed by France,...

There’s no denying that Jeopardy!‘s Adriana Harmeyer has been on an impressive winning streak, but will it continue? After the June 11 game, the signs are promising as she rang in her 10th consecutive win, being among a small group to ever achieve that status through regular gameplay. In the match, the Indiana-based archivist went up against math teacher Scott McCann from Germantown, Tennessee, and audiovisual archivist Sarah Harzell from Howell, New Jersey. Already a nine-day champion at the start of the game with a total of $204,700 in winnings, Adriana was certainly the competitor to beat heading into the match. Scott was Adriana’s biggest competition as he went into the Double Jeopardy round with $5,000, a noticeable lead against Adriana’s $3,400. While she managed to pull back the lead during Double Jeopardy, Adriana did lose $3,000 during the third Daily Double clue in the category “Authors Before Authoring,” which presented her with the statement,...

The “curse” is broken on Jeopardy! Throughout the season, fans have noticed that even the most successful champions haven’t been able to get past five wins — until now, that is. On Wednesday night’s episode, Adriana Harmeyer became a six-game champion in a stunning runaway, leading one former “curse” victim to cheer for her success. Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana, came into the game with a five-day cash winnings total of $116,200 and was the third five-day champion of the season, following Alison Betts and Amy Hummel. She faced a new pair of challengers in Allee Mead, a writer from Grand Forks, North Dakota, and Kyle Sorlie Titlow, a geographer from Washington, D.C. In the first round, Harmeyer had some solid competition from Mead — the latter was just one answer shy of tying her correct answers score of 10. Ahead of Double Jeopardy, Harmeyer had $5,800 to Mead’s $5,400. Double Jeopardy,...

Jeopardy! has itself a new champion after Wednesday night (May 29), but it came at the expense of another contestant who fell into the trap of a “brutal” Daily Double clue. On Wednesday’s episode, one-day champion Abby Mann, a digital scholarship librarian from Normal, Illinois, returned to the Alex Trebek Stage to take on Adriana Harmeyer, an archivist from West Lafayette, Indiana, and Brian O’Shea, a gifted specialist & teacher from Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The game started pretty tight in the Jeopardy round, with the scores relatively close heading into Double Jeopardy. Mann led with $4,800, O’Shea followed closely with $4,600, and Harmeyer trailed with $3,800. Things changed in Double Jeopardy, especially thanks to the two Daily Doubles. Harmeyer landed the first Daily Double, bumping up her total by $4,000 and giving her a solid lead. Meanwhile, O’Shea found the second Daily Double but ended up losing $6,000 after falling for some tricky wording. Under the “White House Weddings” category,...

Kathleen Hanna returned to the hallowed space that is the Jeopardy! clue board, serving as part of an answer to a question that, ultimately, none of the contestants were cool enough to get.

The clue popped up during “Double Jeopardy” as the $1200 answer in the “Let’s Rock & Roll” category: “Bikini Kill singer Kathleen Hanna was an early icon of this great 1990s movement, fusing feminism and punk rock.” After no one buzzed in to answer — what’s known in the biz as a “triple stumper” — host Ken Jennings quipped,...
