Feeling proud and reflective tonight - thank you again so much to all who have supported me during my run. It's almost exactly four months to the day I got the call to go on Jeopardy, and I had no idea back then how much my life would change as a result

Back in the homeland so I had to pay a visit to some of my earliest hardcore supporters!

Many have made note of my colorful facial expressions while playing Jeopardy - here is proof that I come by it honestly/have been making weird faces for a long time!

Turns out in 2008 I photographed Jeopardy champ Mattea Roach during the NB provincial spelling bee championship. According to the caption she finished second after getting stumped on "Soiree" #MatteaRoach #jeopardy @mattearoach #nb @KenJennings @Jeopardy

🧵(1/8) In one of my contestant anecdotes on tonight’s Jeopardy Masters, I’m talking about my dad. I’ve done this many times on the show before, but this time I’m speaking in past tense bc my dad died at the start of this month

So, I completely fell off in my pursuit to share my thoughts about every game of Jeopardy I played - when I have more time/energy, I hope to compile my memories/analysis somewhere. But right now, we have important business to discuss: the end of my run on Jeopardy!

Doubt anyone was that invested in my Jeopardy anecdote about going to Kraftwerk with my dad, but in case anyone was: after ten years of talking about it I am finally going to see Kraftwerk with my dad

I have had a lot of big moments on the Alex Trebek Stage but on Friday’s Jeopardy Masters I got to say “what’s a dyke” and that means EVERYTHING to me

Every young person in Toronto’s ideal summer consists of spending as much time sitting outside (patio, porch, park, wherever) as possible and I am pleased to report that I am living the dream!!

And that’s all from me for now when it comes to my time on Jeopardy! 23 wins at 23 feels kind of perfect, and I don't know that I'll ever stop feeling deeply grateful and humbled to have had this experience at the time that I did

Feast upon the footage of me (and a bunch of other lucky Torontonians) singing with Rick Astley as described in tn's Jeopardy anecdote! I'm the one with blue hair at around 3:35: youtube.com/watch?v=dJRsWJ…

🧵(8/8) Lastly - this is my dad’s Reach for the Top (quiz bowl for Americans) team photo from 1983. Dad is seated in the flannel shirt. Everything I am doing on TV this week is for him ❤️

Happy regular Tuesday! If you, like me, often spend US election days glued to CNN in a nervous fugue, I recommend breaking up your evening by watching tn’s special Jeopardy exhibition featuring @Jeopardamy, @AmodioMatt, and me!! It’s a fantastic game and a barrel of laughs ✨
