Something happened on Jeopardy for this first time in 45 years...

For the first time in 45 years a regular game of "Jeopardy!" ended in a tie last Thursday.  The contestants were given a final, sudden death question, and the returning champion ended up winning.

All three contestants missed on 'Final Jeopardy', and two of them tied for first with $6,799. So they went to sudden death:  One question, and the first person to buzz in and get it right wins.

Returning champion Laura McLean came out on top. Back in the day, they would've returned the next night as co-champions, but "Jeopardy" recently changed its rules for ties.

There have been ties before that have gone to sudden death, but those were during TOURNAMENT play, not regular games.

Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf! Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
