It was a rough night for CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Thursday night's "Jeopardy!"

The "Situation Room" anchor came in last -- and even in the red before Final Jeopardy -- and lost to Dana Delany and Andy Richter.

The score after the Double Jeopardy round:

* Wolf Blitzer: $-4,600
* Dana Delany: $4,800
* Andy Richter: $39,000

The story got even better in Final Jeopardy.

Adding insult to injury, after receiving $5,600 in welfare to get him to final Jeopardy, the Final Jeopardy category was “Famous Actors.”

The answer (clue): He was turned down for the leading role in 1960’s “The Best Man” because he didn't look presidential.

And the correct response: "Who was Ronald Reagan?"

So, after embarrassing himself, Wolf had to write that out to double his $1,000 in welfare prize money. It was priceless to watch.
 
Funny! I love Jeopardy. That final Jeopardy question, in retrospect, contained a big, direct clue to the answer.
