Never watched a single episode of AI but since I know the names of the hosts of the other shows, plus the fact that the others are still in production, this is an easy question.

One way to get to the $10,000 answer is to figure out that we're talking about someone who was born in 1975, and so (at taping) was 40. From that perspective, she got lucky.
Spoiler
Scarlett Johansson isn't too old. She's 10 years too young.
Her luck ran out at the next question. I would have hoped that she realized (or knew) that only one of those companies is Korean. The others are Japanese. I think that's something you could figure out just from the names, particularly after the 50-50. --Bob
