He also said that he spent half his life applying for the Jeopardy competition and that he tried to appear on the show for about 15 years.

He took part in the Quiz Bowl once while in school and tried hard for The Jeopardy in 2004 when Ken Jennings was on his record-breaking 74-game winning streak. For the past 15 years he had turned up for quizzes to be on the show, and while he sometimes passed the exams, he still couldn’t pass all the quiz rounds.
