This episode originally aired on May 3, 2016.
Nicole gave an on-air shoutout to Maggie Speak, one of the show’s producers, during this match! From my experiences hosting #JeopardyLivePanel, one constant is that every single person who has been on Jeopardy thinks that Maggie is awesome.

As a fairly recent Jeopardy contestant, I can also attest that:
1. I thought the shout out to Maggie was great! and
2. Everyone who’s been on the show and spent hours with her, loves the woman (and her mother, too – inside joke!)
3. The other contestant coordinators – Aimee and Corina- are super folks as well.
