The video showed contestant Torrey DeVitto, a TV actress and model, pick the category "The Fifty States" for $300.
"In 'Field of Dreams' a question is asked, 'Is this heaven?' - No, it's this midwestern state also known as 'the corn state,'" read host Mayim Bialik.

I recall when Laura Ingraham only had a radio show and she was interviewing some lib bitch — a Code Pink person, I think. Laura mentioned “America’s heartland”. Woman ask, “What’s that?” Laura: “You don’t know what the heartland is?” Nope; she was clueless.
