Jeopardy Time

Growing up there was a nightly tradition my father always managed to observe when he was home. We would watch Eyewitness news at 6 p.m., World News Tonight (with Peter Jennings) at 6:30 p.m. followed by Jeopardy at 7 p.m. I credit World News tonight for my interest in Global affairs. My dad was a doorman in the building where Jennings lived and I remember stalking the lobby hoping to bump into him.

Some my earliest memories are of watching Jeopardy as young as 5 years old. It sounds silly but I always said that I needed to end up with someone who enjoys trivia as much as I do AND is good at it. Matt loves it and is very good at games like Trivial Pursuit & Jeopardy.

Leah now watches nightly with us. We record it so even if we aren't home we can still watch it the next day. She has Louis watching as well ;-) and her baby doll Bella.

I'm so glad you are a Peter Jennings person. He was way better than Brokaw and Rather.
