by popular demand, here are the four jeopardy! shows i was on in 1992. note the big, jangly earrings. note the exciting world of blue worksuits. note how my makeup gets smudged by game four. hell, there could be a drinking game made up for each time i make a weird face at alex.

how did i get on jeopardy? funny you should ask.

what was it like before i went on the show? i’ll tell you.

and eventually, i will share the behind-the-scenes drama. and yes, there truly was d r a m a.

but for now, you can just sit back and enjoy the shows.
