"After telling stories about not making his high school baseball team and recounting an embarrassing, mildly profane gaffe he made on air early in his career, Costas answered all three game show questions about the Emmy Awards correctly. Costas joked that he had accomplished "the trifecta, the hat trick, the triple crown." Host Peter Segal asked what the show should call it when someone goes 3 for 3. Costas laughed and replied, "The Costi.""
