Jeopardy! Contestant News and More

Local newspapers often interview people who are about to appear on Jeopardy! before they do, and sometimes, they go talk to them after their show aired. Unfortunately, with Season 36 cut short, we don’t have any recent contestant news, but The Wrap reports that the show has taken steps to resume taping safely soon. Here are some links to recent Jeopardy! items:
