Final Jeopardy....

“Who is Marcel Duchamp?”

The work is “Nude Descending a Staircase No. 2.”

Buzzy Cohen won his eighth match last night and his winnings now total $164,603 (THE DAILY). He appeared on CNBC on Wednesday to discuss his streak and his “channeling the Sean Connery character” from the NBC’s “SNL” sketch about “Celebrity Jeopardy,” where former cast member Darrell Hammond portrays actor Sean Connery tormenting host Alex Trebek. CNBC’s Jane Wells told Cohen, “I have never seen a ‘Jeopardy’ champion so divisive on social media. People love you or hate you.” Cohen: “I’m just having fun with it, which is what you can see on the show. I’m a huge ‘Jeopardy’ fan. I’m also a huge ‘SNL’ fan, so when I got the opportunity to do something fun, I did it. Some people that are diehard ‘Jeopardy’ people feel like I’m making fun of the show, which I’m definitely not trying to do, but I think the general public is having fun with me having fun with it” (“Closing Bell,” CNBC, 5/25).
