Mr. Clark Takes on Jeopardy

Pic w TrebekNext Thursday on ABC Langley’s own librarian Mr. Clark will be on Jeopardy. Mr. Clark’s journey began with trivia shows and participation in It’s Academic in high school. His inspiration came from Chuck Forrest, a 1980s Jeopardy champion. His strategy was a very well-known one called the Forrest Bounce. To prepare Mr. Clark looked on an archive that had all of the previous Jeopardy games. “It’s an incredibly detailed archive. I caught up with current categories and brushed up on geography and U.S. presidents,” said Clark. All the preparation led up to a great experience in the end. “I had a ton of fun. Everyone who works on the show is incredibly professional,” said Clark. However, in the end, the highlight was meeting Johnny Gilbert the long time announcer for Jeopardy.
