Ken's Korner: He's optimistic about Amy's future on the show, as he referred to the victory as Amy's "first" $50,000 game. Also, Ken has some advice for his kids: just "don't".
Correct Qs: DD1 - Who is Ang Lee? DD2 - Who was Gandhi? DD3 - What is Iowa (IA)? FJ - What is "Don't trust anyone over 30"?
