THIS IS JEOPARDY! 5 time Champion Alan Dunn talks strategy with Tom
Alan Dunn is a 25 year resident of Johns Creek, GA, and is a five-time champion on Jeopardy! Appearing on Jeopardy was a lifelong dream of his. Alan talks about his journey of trying out for the show, getting the big call, and how it worked when he showed up. Something people don’t realize is that Jeopardy is on your own dime. You pay for your own airfare, hotel, and meals. Later, Alan speaks about getting invited to the Tournament of Champions. Tune in for Tom’s financial tip of the day about inflation!
IN THIS EPISODE: [02:10] Alan talks about his journey to his lifelong dream of getting on the show. [15:55] Alan got the big call: he was accepted to appear on Jeopardy! [29:20] One year later, Alan was invited back for the Tournament of Champions. [36:05] After appearing on Jeopardy, Alan was able to reunite with a lot of old friends and family members. [37:30] Tom’s financial tip of the day: inflation is real! If you have money sitting around, then you need to do something with it.
KEY TAKEAWAYS: People don’t realize that Jeopardy is on your own dime. You pay for your own airfare, hotel, and meals. Depending on where you come from, you may break even or even lose money by appearing on Jeopardy. Jeopardy knowledge is a mile wide and an inch deep. You have to know a little bit of everything to succeed on Jeopardy. The best way to prepare for being on Jeopardy is to watch a lot of Jeopardy.
