    Former Runaways bassist Jackie Fuchs (Jackie Fox) is a three day winner on Jeopardy. Scored on questions about the B-52s and Carlie Rae Jepsen.

    The Runaways’ Jackie Fuchs Is a “Jeopardy!” Winner

    That's a pretty nice combination to have on the resume. Oh, besides being an attorney and writer.

    Last year or two, the guy who played Mike Teavee in the original Willy Wonka movie appeared as a contestant, with no mention of his past as an actor.

    What Surprised Me the Most About Being a Jeopardy! Champ

    Great read from the woman herself on the cult of Jeopardy contestants.

    I've gotten to learn quite a bit about the cult myself, having recently begun dating a three-time Jeopardy winner. We played trivia together for the first time last Friday night, with my Providence Meetup group, but she's a little shy about bringing it up herself. After the game, a young guy on my team (don't know him that well, but have played with him several times) starts asking her, "Haven't I seen you on TV?" Turns out (he never told us) he was a three-time winner the year before, and now they're instant pals. Between us all, I can now play from Providence to Boston.

    Jeopardy alumni have very active FB groups (there's a women's one, and some will be playing with us when I head up her way on her birthday), and there's even a Jeopardy relationships group. It only took her 20 years to get on the show.
