Final Jeopardy! Contestants All Fail On Last Question

Everyone loves trivia. That's proven by the 32 seasons of "Jeopardy!" But of the hundreds of episodes, all three of the contestants choked and lost it all in the final round only six times. Monday night marked the sixth.

Claudia and Mike Drummond, the co-returning champions, were tied at $13,800 going into the Final Jeopardy! round, with newcomer Randi Kristensen coming from behind with $6,000. The final clue read:

"A 1957 event led to the creation of a national historic site in this city, signed into law by a president whose library is now there too."

All three picked a different U.S. city (Kristensen wasn't able to finish writing "Springfield"), and all three were wrong. Bummer. What's even worse, is all three bet everything they had, which created a three-way tie for last place. Triple-fail.

Host Alex Trebek had to carry out his official duties in announcing the surprising conclusion of the game and informing the contestants and viewers that all three players had lost and that Tuesday's game would start with three new contestants.

The last time this triple fail in the final round happened was during 2013's Teen Tournament.
And if you were wondering, the event and president in question were the desegregation of schools and Bill Clinton. So the correct answer was actually "What is Little Rock, Arkansas?"chron
