The answer that goes by really quickly at the end of the clip (attached here) doesn't appear to be the Daily Double one according to j-archive.com/showgame.php..., but Ken's comments are the same.
Clue from the video: "Jeff Bezos, CEO of this giant online retailer, was Time's Person of the Year for 1999"

Summer, 1997 (A similar swingset to the one pictured in the original screenshot, except it and the rest of the playground behind it are on fire — from nuclear explosions on Judgment Day, the event in Terminator 2.) Where dinner is chopped, not cultured (Janelle Voight [John Connor's foster mother]'s hands chopping celery, from Terminator 2's "kitchen scene".)

A lemon-yellow 1960 Citroën DS19. It's a very long four-door sedan with a white convertible top and enclosed rear wheel wells. Its "face" looks very much like the Muppet version of a fish.

Unlike them, you're not in the documentary I'm currently watching (at least, not yet).
From the documentary "The Farthest", a diagram of Voyager 1 and 2 nearing Jupiter to perform their first "slingshot" maneuvers on their way to the outer planets (and beyond). The caption under Voyager 2 notes that it's "336 million miles from Earth" travelling at "27,000 miles per hour".

One of my favourite photos, from the installation in Stratford in August 2018.
An illuminated Moon (by Luke Jerram) hanging from a scaffold above a stage and tent on Tom Patterson Island in Stratford, Ontario.

He didn't need one, because Snoopy had a watering can.

(I should crop the picture and let the joke lie, but Sally *does* have a hoe! Plot twist!)
A scene from "It's Arbor Day, Charlie Brown!" Linus is pushing a wheelbarrow containing a tree that's twice his height; Lucy has planted a small sprout of something in a mound of dirt, which Snoopy is sprinkling water on from a red watering can while Woodstock looks on; and Sally is behind Lucy holding a hoe for some reason. Around the cleared area this is all happening in are various flowers and foliage.

Done quickly on my phone screen, but it's probably about the same as if I'd drawn it over an hour with pencil and paper. (Whatcha looking for?)
An incredibly terrible — but still recognizable — finger drawing of Homer Simpson. In my defense, at least it includes the "M" side hairline and "G" ear as detailed in one of the episodes.

My response isn't visible either. Hmm.

It may be a Bluesky glitch, but FYI, none of the responses to this post — including your own — are being shown in the app or on the website. (Your response is visible in the main timeline but not on the post itself.) Haven't seen this on any other posts; curious.

Still going strong, although I never did submit a declaration photo.
A black T-shirt. Within a shield outline are a stylized capital M and a scarred and eyepatch-wearing white circle that looks like a pirate's profile. Below the shield is the word "minion".

It was this or the Chuck Wagner/Desi Arnaz, Jr. vehicle (ha) Automan. Glen A. Larson could have gotten 13 episodes for his grocery list.

As a mathie, this was satisfying to see. (And my reply will make it 3 3 6, which is acceptable too.)

My late-1970s OWL magazines beg to differ. You can't argue with science!
The mostly-dark-blue cover of "Dr. Zed's Brilliant Book of Science Experiments!" ("An OWL Book"). Wild-white-haired bespectacled cartoon figure Dr. Zed is in the bottom left corner; he's wearing a white lab coat and white pants. In his right hand Dr. Zed is holding a test tube containing a green liquid with a "zzz" sound bubble coming out of it, and in his left he's holding a red microscope that a small yellow bird is examining. Two other small yellow birds are exclaiming "Hurray! A great book of science experiments for kids!"; yet another bird is just saying "!", and a final bird is swinging from the title by one wing.

So that's what all of Dr. @annaghughes.bsky.social (PhD, Physics & Astronomy, 2021)'s egg creations were about...
A frying pan containing a large fried egg. There are four yolks of different colours and sizes at the top left and right and bottom left and right, with a large oblong hole in the middle. The overall effect is of a monster with a gaping maw. A frying pan containing an "opposite day" fried egg, with a small yolk-sized white surrounded by a lot of yellow yolk. Dr. Anna Hughes, chin resting on her left hand, which is holding a fork, looking wistfully past a large plate of what initially appears to be a huge fried egg, but might actually be white frosting spread on a plate with many "pearls" of yellowy-orange fruit.
