Today I guessed an answer, and my wife said ‘nah, -probably not that”... and it was. 1/3 contestants got it

This is why I could never be on a game show. The smart ass in me would demand I simply write "Me".

Yeah, I lose, but I'm now a game show legend and in every montage forever.

Be cooler if you used the sanskrit word for me.

Hmmm. I feel like I know this. Going to ponder.

I wasn't sure at all, but came up with it rummaging through possibilities.

I'm the movie buff around here and I never would have gotten the second quote. The first one was obvious.

I'm not even sure I've seen The Graduate or how meaningful that line is to the plot.

I saw it once. The quote was a thing people said before memes, back in the day. Like, how everyone's heard "STELLA" but probably haven't seen Streetcar Named Desire.

The line itself was not terribly meaningful, plotwise. It was symbolic of Dustin's lack of desire to be an adult, but it was the most memorable line of the movie. Basically, he's graduated college, and his parents throw a party with all their friends, and Dustin doesn't have a job lined up. So one of the adults says "I've got one word for you: ***********"

How the fuck was that not on the AFI quote list?

Because they used a 3 word version of it (#45)
"Stella! Hey, Stella!"
One of the contestants guessed it, but I knew that movie was from the 50s.

They're taking the 3 best contestants ever for a challenge this week, to win $1M. I haven't been spoiled yet, but this might be a spoiler.

Jennings seems to have a great sense of humor. I was following his Twitter for a bit.

Tonight (2nd night of the GOAT tourney) there were 2 clue I got that the contestants did not (BAM!).

One of them, though, I hope everyone would have gotten: Double Jeopardy - Movie Quotes - $2,000 answer

I also got the Newspapers + Magazines $1,600, which they did not get.

Wilder was so damn good in that role.
