Two Games!

By Glenn Fleishman

By now, the truth is known. I’m a two-time wonder, not a potential Ken Jennings. Playing Jeopardy was a hoot. I came away with (in four months’ time, when they cut the checks) over $30,000, subject to taxes. The money is all allotted already to household and family things, including a trip to Hawaii in the summer.

But it was a memorable and once-in-a-lifetime chance to put my knowledge (and reflexes) to the test!

The Reigning Jeopardy! Champion, WOOOOOO

By Glenn Fleishman

At this moment, I am the reigning Jeopardy! champion! That may change, but I can’t tell you if and when. For now, I am the champeeeennnn! And I get two extra days since it’s the weekend.

I wrote about my studying prep for The Economist, the overall contestant experience at BoingBoing, and recorded a podcast with The Incomparable about being on the show.

Watch Monday! See what happens.
