Article about upcoming Jeopardy contestant

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Fri Oct 19, 2007 7:24 am

Pomona College politics professor Justin Crowe taped an episode of Jeopardy on Wednesday, scheduled to air on January 8.

(This only came up on my regular news search because of a WWTBAM connection.)
After receiving his invitation to appear on the show, Crowe studied to prepare. Professor Susan McWilliams, also of the politics department, gave Crowe some trivia books and advice about staying calm and playing against other people in a game-show environment—she has appeared on a similar show, Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
How did Professor McWilliams learn how to Stay Clam® on WWTBAM, I wonder? :)

Some tidbits about one of today's contestants on Snydie BAM, if you want to know... I'll do it as a spoiler although it's prolly not necessary:
Spoiler
He was in the ROF on BAM with Regis, on Ben Stein's Money (dint win) AND on J! apparently leading going into Final and blew it....
He should know how to Stay Clam® on WWTBAM

Thanks, Kay. I don't think there's anything spoilerish about mentioning his previous game show history.
