He makes several guesses ending in -MIDITY, and he also says CALAMITY and DITCH. The answer was HUMIDITY, which he thinks he said, suggesting he mispronounced it. Well, he's okay.
We couldn't give Tom the Corvette, but he's still leaving us with $24,250 in cash!
In the post-game chat, Pat and Vanna are surprised how fast the time flew. They thank ABC 7 Chicago for having the show here, and they've always been terrific through the years. Vanna had a great time! Pat thanks the city for the 49,000,000,000 calories he consumed while he was here.
