Spencer—along with her GMA co-hosts Robin Roberts, Michael Strahan and George Stephanopoulos—watched the snippet from the episode during Thursday morning’s broadcast, which was Spencer’s first time seeing her own name on the famous Jeopardy! board.
“I love it!” Spencer declared to her co-hosts, adding that “her mom is so happy” that Jennings pronounced her name “properly.”
“So did your phone blow up around 7:30 last night?” Stephanopoulos chimed in to ask, while Spencer replied, “I’ve never been cooler.”
“It’s really an honor. Thank you to Jeopardy! and thank you to that man who got it right!”
