Inside Jeopardy! podcast, executive producer Michael Davies divulged that Roach — who uses they/them pronouns — has “never” studied for the trivia series.The 24-year-old had lost to fellow victor James Holzhauer during the “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament on May 24, placing second.Roach’s mom Patti had been in the audience during the broadcast and Davies recalled what she said at the time.“[Patti] told me that Mattea spends zero time, and has spent zero time ever practicing for this show,” the EP explained.“They don’t learn trivia, they don’t read trivia books, they don’t sit on the floor in the children’s book department like James,” he said, referencing that Holzhauer used to read kids books to study.“Everything they know is from reading, sitting in front of the TV, reading newspapers and being in front of intelligent people,” Davies revealed.He then noted how Roach’s parents “were so involved in that, and get so much credit in their broad liberal arts education.”“It just shows their potential,” he said.

felt a great disturbance in the force on a special “Star Wars”-themed “Wheel of Fortune” Tuesday night.Contestants were light-years away from solving a rather self-explanatory puzzle in the category of “fun and games” during the Galactic Celebration episode.Word smithers Christopher, Kate and Adura all lacked the wisdom of Master Yoda when it came time to guess the proper response of “camping outside a movie theater” — despite almost every word in the puzzle being nearly spelled out already, according to The Sun.Audra — sporting a bounty hunter style jacket — wrongly guessed it as “gaming outside the movie theater” in a bigger tragedy than that of Darth Plagueis the Wise.“What an interesting group,” Sajak said during the new, hopeless episode.Eventually, it was the Princess Leia bun-wearing Kate who brought balance to the force by correctly solving the puzzle.Regardless, the Internet blasted Audra for missing a mark wider than Beggar’s Canyon.“Adura is having one of those episodes.

dragged into another controversy on “Jeopardy!” last night.The congressional representative from New York typified the final — and uncharacteristically “correct” — answer during Wednesday night’s “Jeopardy! Masters” tournament finale. Controlling the board rather early in the game, 24-year-old Mattea Roach picked the $800 question in the “recent events” category. “Subheads in a piece on this NY Rep.: ‘Lied about where he went to … college’; ‘Allegedly Swindled a disabled vet whose dog was dying,'” read host Ken Jennings.

all-time winnings leader Ken Jennings had some fun with one of correct responses on Wednesday’s episode, thanks to the show’s cheeky decision to make it focus on a very well-known, scandal-plagued member of Congress.During the episode, one of the answers in the category of “recent events” read, “Subheads in a piece on this N.Y. Rep.: ‘Lied about where he went to…college’; ‘Allegedly Swindled a disabled vet whose dog was dying.’”The correct question, of course, concerns the infamous serial liar from New York: “Who Is George Santos?” And it was contestant Mattea Roach who gave it to Jennings. In a tone that implied he’d been waiting all night to drop the line, Jennings replied, “I don’t get to say this very much, but George Santos is correct.” Cue the laughter and applause from the contestants and studio audience. Check out the video above. For those that aren’t aware, Santos falsified nearly all of his resume, from his education to his work history to his ethnicity and religion.
