Performance of the Week
The longest winning streak in game-show history ended last week when California real estate agent NANCY ZERG beat Jeopardy!'s human encyclopedia, KEN JENNINGS. The dethroned champ, who is about to get taxed for taking home $2.5 million in winnings, missed a Final Jeopardy question about H. & R. Block. Zerg, a former actress, didn't have long to celebrate after ending Jennings' 74-game streak. She lost on the next show.
