Open with some sort of graphic that reads, “Highlights of Ken Jennings on Wheel of Fortune” or something akin to it.

Cut to Pat (JASON) introducing Ken. Pat looks more and more frazzled as the night progresses.
PAT
You all might recognize our third contestant, Ken Jennings. He won 74 consecutive games of Jeopardy! And wound up taking home more than 3 million dollars. You must be really good at game shows.
KEN
Wheel Of Fortune Worst Fail
Well, we’re excited to have you. Let’s get started.
Cut to $2,000 toss up segment and graphic.

You know, if those letters were different, I would have been right.

No.
Cut to a half shot of a mostly solved puzzle and the contestants.

Cut to Ken.
Cut to Pat.
Cut to Ken.
KEN
Well, here’s your envelope. I can’t believe you could be a million dollar winner.
Ken holds up the MILLION DOLLAR WEDGE.
PAT (CONT’D)
I can’t even believe you’re tonight’s finalist. This is either a miracle or witchcraft.
KEN
Ken spins the wheel. Once it stops, Pat takes the envelope.
PAT
Ok. The category is: Phrase. RSTLNE will give you some letters.
Vanna taps the letters. “_/_ _ _ _/N_/_ _ E _”.
PAT (CONT’D)
So, from you, we need three more consonants and one more vowel.
KEN
Beat. Pat slowly turns his head towards Ken. Pat sighs.
PAT
Okay. Vanna did we miss any? No? Didn’t think so. You have ten seconds to guess and then I don’t have to talk to you anymore.
Timer starts.
KEN
Unbelievable! You won by accident?! Who chose that as the final puzzle? Huh? You’re fired.
He opens the envelope and reveals that it’s the million dollars.
PAT (CONT’D)
Oh holy Zeus! The million dollars?! You made more tonight than I have in the past ten years!
KEN
No!
Pat storms off.
