"Jeopardy!" fans were stunned when none of the contestants were able to guess the Final Jeopardy clue.
During Monday night's episode, Mark Fitzpatrick, Amanda Prusila and Daniel Gately all guessed incorrectly when trying to solve the Final Jeopardy clue under the category brand names.
At this point in the competition, Fitzpatrick held a substantial lead with $23,000, with Gately in second place with $4,200 and Prusila in third place with $600.
"In 1886 this brand's bookkeeper came up with its name & flowing script logo, saying, "The two Cs would look well in advertising,"' host Ken Jennings read aloud for the clue.
