My family&nbsp;had an &rsquo;80s DOS computer game when I was three or four, and I learned how to type playing that and <em>Wheel of Fortune<\/em>. I ran home from school starting in about second grade to watch <em>Jeopardy!<\/em>&nbsp;every day, since it comes on at 3:30 in the Chicago area.&nbsp;The O.J. Simpson verdict interrupted a Final Jeopardy! once, when I was 9 or so, and since then I&rsquo;ve not really been a fan of O.J.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I imagine you were very bossy with your friends as a kid and tried, perhaps unsuccessfully, to make them play with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There was some strong-arming going on. Growing up, I forced pals to play <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=grq0&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">video<\/a> game <em>Jeopardy!<\/em>&nbsp;with me, but eventually all my friends watched with me. The summer after I graduated high school, we would all pile into somebody&rsquo;s den and watch <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ken_Jennings\">Ken Jennings<\/a> win every day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You mentioned before that you&rsquo;ve met many past contetants.

Do they repeat questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They repeat subjects all the time. They won&rsquo;t ask the same question about <em>Anna Karenina<\/em>, but you may get the same reference to a train again. I studied certain things I&rsquo;m terrible with, like weights and measures, and sports. There is just no hope for me when it comes to learning current sports. I looked up NFL MVP winners and remembered a few of those. Hello, Bart Starr! I know who you are!<\/p>\n<p><strong>You gave quite a sassy snap after you answered the Double Jeopardy question correctly. Have you waited your whole life to do that, or did it simply come from deep within you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Snapping is a major part of my life.

For instance, you wrote,&nbsp;&ldquo;<\/span>As a kid growing up in the suburbs who venerated everything about<em> Jeopardy!<\/em>, I would&rsquo;ve loved seeing an expressive <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a> contestant&nbsp;own his homosexuality as well as the buzzer.<em>&ldquo;<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;I heard a <em>Jeopardy!<\/em>&nbsp;contestant say, &ldquo;Oh, I&rsquo;m <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">gay<\/a>,&rdquo; I think I&rsquo;d have been pretty wowed as a kid.
