A Michigan high school teacher recently got his shot to join the well-known trivia game show “Jeopardy!” While he didn’t make it all the way to the end, this Latin teacher at Sacred Heart Academy in Grand Rapids did score big with his students.
Josh Gregor, a former seminarian, grew up watching the show with his mother and has been taking the online test to get onto the show since 2015. The trivia buff finally got his chance to join the show and square up against 20-time Jeopardy champion Cris Pannullo.
“It was exciting. I didn’t really know what to expect but it turned out to be a lot of fun,” Gregor said during an interview with EWTN News Nightly on Dec. 9.
He explained that he received a text message from the producers inviting him onto the show and then underwent an audition where one plays the game online to see how you would be on camera. Once he knew he would be joining the show, he began to brush up on certain topics.
