Safety Harbor Man's 'Jeopardy!' Run Comes to End

A Safety Harbor postal worker's run on "Jeopardy!" has come to an end.

Larry Krajewski entered Wednesday night's edition of the TV game show as a two-day champion, already having banked $38,200 in winnings.

Krajewski trailed most of the game and entered the "Final Jeopardy" round trailing the leader by $8,400.

He wagered it all on the category "The Theatre" and the final clue:

Dramatizing a murder from the year 1170, a 1935 T.S. Eliot play aptly had its first performance in this English city.

Krajewski came up with the correct response — "What is Canterbury?" — and was able to double his total to $18,800. But it wasn't enough: Eventual winner John Anneken, a post-doctoral researcher from Cincinnati, also got it right and edged Krajewski by a mere $111.

Krajewski still added another $2,000 to his winnings as the runner-up.
