Contestants had to answer: In the title of a groundbreaking 1890 expose of poverty in New York City slums, these 3 words follow "how the...." Instead of answering the question, Gaur decided to send a touching message to the longtime host of the show. He simply wrote, "We *heart* you, Alex!" If you were a final Jeopardy! contestant, would you give up winning more money to share an encouraging message like Gaur did?

"Did you come up with the right one? No?" Trebek asked Gaur, as his answer appeared on the screen. "What is we love you Alex," Trebek read, and then replied, "That's very kind, thank you." Trebek instantly became emotional. "Cost you $1,995. You're left with five bucks," Trebek said while choking back tears. Gaur gave up nearly all of his $2,000 to honor Trebek. Do you have a favorite host of a game show or actor that you would spend nearly $2000 to encourage?

After the show, Gaur opened up about his decision to write the special message on Twitter. "We were all hurting for him so badly," he said. "When Final Jeopardy came up, I could've tried to puzzle it together, but really, just kept thinking about Alex, and thought he should know." Do you know anyone as compassionate as Gaur?
