There are a lot of people with $50,000, so it would come down to time. Meredith does not mention what Tony's time has been, so far.
Times are tough for Tony's family. His hours have been cut back and his wife's hours have been cut back. His son is in college and Tony had to tell him that he could no longer pay for his son's college. It was hard, telling him that. His son is on his own now, at 21, paying for it, himself.

A: Michael Douglas B: Kevin Spacey
C: Jeremy Irons D: Dustin Hoffman
With 35 seconds left, Tony decides to Ask The Expert. Meredith tells him this is a really big question for Tony.
Ken: No pressure. [pause] I remember when this happened. [pause] And I'm pretty sure--and I'm risking $100,000 of your money--but I'm pretty sure it's Michael Douglas.
Tony: What kind of percentage are we talking, Ken?
Ken: That's a good question to ask, Tony. I would say I'm 75-80% sure it's Michael Douglas. I remember reading a news story when it happened, outing Michael Douglas as the announcer. So, I'm feeling pretty good about that.
Tony: Well, Ken, thank you. I hope--we'll see how it turns out.
Ken: Okay!
Tony says that 75-80% from Ken is pretty strong, but that's a lot of money and he's not a big risk taker. Tony walks with $50,000.
