A man named Ariel recalls GIANT DINOSAURS.
The last contestants of season 40 are…
Ariel Freedman: Sherman Oaks, CA; married for 1.5 years (still a newlywed, per Pat); enjoys singing anywhere, which annoys his wife because he sometimes sings while she washes the dishes
Johnny Sims: Elgin, IL; engaged to Amy, has two daughters and two sons; enjoys collecting comic books (a hobby inspired by his mom), has the original Michael Jordan rookie cards
Tammy Kaslow: Spring Green, WI; married to former Marine Jeff, has five kids (three are adopted and two are married) and two grandkids
Pat still feels like a newlywed after 34 years of marriage. After Tammy thanks him for his military service, Pat does her husband likewise.

…isn't a bad combo, and while I'm CHECKING MY PHONE AGAIN, Ariel hops in his new MERCEDES BENZ! His final score: $85,414. Pat showed Ariel's wife the envelope first.
CHAT: Neither host sleeps with their phone near their bed. Pat doesn't do so because there wouldn't be enough room for his teddy bear and hot water bottle. And he won't call Vanna late at night.
Boy, these past few 195 episodes were a roller coaster. With that said…
