“That would be what is yes.”
It was an answer “Jeopardy!” audience member Maria Shafer said with no hesitation, after show contestant Michael Pascuzzi popped a question of his own.
“I just want to say one quick thing and ask Maria Shafer right there… if she would make me a winner today and marry me,” Pascuzzi said.
Even Alex Trebek was a little surprised when Pascuzzi used his interview time with the host to propose.

“I was about to say we’ll have the answer to that question right after this commercial break,” Trebek said after Shafer accepted.
