Regis Philbin: [on the $100 question] "According to the nursery rhyme, what did Little Jack Horner pull from a pie? Ribbon, plum, blackbird, Little Jill Horner."
Brian Fodera: Well Regis, I was kind of afraid of nursery rhymes as early questions here, but I think I know this one. I'm going to say...
[pause]
Brian Fodera: C: Blackbird.
Regis Philbin: You know, it's kinda tense, isn't it, for a $100 question.
Brian Fodera: Really. It's not like anybody's watching.
Regis Philbin: [chuckles] So, your final answer is?
Brian Fodera: Um...
[pause]
Brian Fodera: final answer is C: Blackbird.
Regis Philbin: He says "blackbird"... my gosh, it was a plum. Brian. I'm... sorry. Anyway, Brian, it was a plum.
Brian Fodera: Should've asked the audience.
Regis Philbin: Yeah... sometimes those things are a little obscure in your memory. But, uh, maybe...

Regis Philbin: Brian, it's too late. It's over.
[mild audience laughter]
Regis Philbin: Nice try, and good luck to ya, and uh... I'm sorry.
