Publisher's Summary

As a lifelong reader, fan of trivia and watcher of Jeopardy!, DuBois tried twice to become a contestant on this Emmy-award winning show. But the third time proved to be a charm as he successfully auditioned for the program, and flew from his rural New Hampshire home to Los Angeles to tape his appearance and go head-to-head among some of the smartest people in America.

Along the way he reveals information such as:

  • The best way to prepare as a contestant
  • Important websites you should visit and books you should read
  • What's it like to be "behind the stage" as the show is taped
  • And hey, what's Alex Trebek really like?

This humorous, self-deprecating, informative, and suspenseful book will provide even the most casual Jeopardy! viewer with a unique look at America's most well-known gameshow. His appearance on Jeopardy! proved to be one of the most thrilling and unforgettable moments in his life, and this affectionate tale is a tribute to the people who make the show work.
