If you're into watching the Scripps National Spelling Bee, you know the official word pronouncer of the spelling bee, Dr. Jacques Bailly, who has been a part of the competition since 2003.
Ryan Seacrest chatted with Dr. Bailly about the final round that Seacrest was VERY into, because the final contestants, Harini Logan, 14, and Vikram Raju, 12, were tied for the entire final round, resulting in the judges to launch a "spell-off" for the first time in the spelling bee's 94 years. Logan and Raju were each given 90 seconds to spell as many words as possible!
Harini Logan ended up spelling 21 words in 90 seconds and crowned the champion for this year.
