My son, Tim, will appear on Jeopardy. In most markets the episode will air on Friday July 22. Check your local listings. He can't reveal ahead of time how he did, but he said he wanted to have fun (he did) and not embarrass himself (he didn't). The show was filmed way back in March.

"Congratualtions to your son for just getting on!"

I've been told that over 180,000 people take the online quiz each year and between 2000-4000 get invited for auditions. Only about 300 get invited to be on the show after they qualify in auditions and mock games.

scraphq 07-19-2011 02:42 PM

Jeopardy is my favorite show, watch it every day. Will watch for Tim on Fri.

That is exciting. I watch Jeopardy everyday so will watch for him. Congratulations!

alikat110 07-19-2011 05:52 PM

Yeah. Best of luck to him

Woodster 07-20-2011 04:32 AM

We watch Jeopardy every night. Your son must be very smart!I'm always shocked if I guess a right answer. I just told hubs that a QB member's son is going to be on and he wanted to know where you are from?

joyce888 07-20-2011 05:44 AM

Congrats! Hope he was a big winner!

Tudey 07-20-2011 05:45 AM

I'm so jealous! I have tried out 9 times in 15 years!

Roberta 07-20-2011 05:57 AM

My niece was on there a year ago. She said Alex Trabeck is not at all serious when the camera is off and quite funny. She came in second and I still think she was the winner. She named some obscure Egyptian princess that I'd never heard of and left out one letter.

ywoodruff5 07-20-2011 06:17 AM

Congrats - hope to catch the episode on Friday!

grammysharon 07-20-2011 08:25 AM

I watch every night and DVR when I am not home!!!

kwilter 07-20-2011 08:29 AM

Ahhhhhh, the life of a celebrity! Will be watching!

Beffy_Boo 07-20-2011 08:54 AM

One of my FAVORITE all time shows. Will be watching. Hope he won big!

Nanaof4 07-20-2011 09:27 AM

Grandma Mary 07-20-2011 09:28 AM
