A Week in the Life of a Person Who Won an Episode of Celebrity Jeopardy (plus, an invitation to join next week's office hours where we'll digest the inauguration)
My middle kid and I watched it last night. He was in a great position to win, but to be fair I missed that final Jeopardy question last night on my couch too.😬
Now, paint me purple & call me a grape, but somebody being in "rehabilitation for life" sounds like an oxymoron. Isn't the whole idea of rehabilitation to release the person back into society? Why else would the facility be called that?
What a thing to do what you did on Jeopardy, coming from behind to win, seriously exciting stuff. But then I along with a lot of people am a trivia nerd who gleefully shout the wrong answers and daydream of “All in!” and winning oodles of money. Congrats and that’s cool you met a Jeopardy winner of yore!
I love this, Kamau! You are the first celeb I've known who has been on Celebrity Jeopardy, but I'm proud to have two people in my circle of a network who have been on the original version of Jeopardy in the last few years.
I swear, I can come up with some of the best "two truths and a lie" around. 😂
I'm more of an occasional Jeopardy watcher. So, of course I had to watch a replay of your winning performance! That $5 bet was my favorite part by far! Now we all know that's an option! Best of luck in the semi-finals! I love Donor's Choose, too.
And that's very cool you became even MORE famous as a Jeopardy winner! 😎 It's a good lesson for the kiddos that knowing stuff can pay off!
It was a thrill to watch the episode that aired, and BRAVO on WINNING it all! I knew your mom would be proud ; ) and Donors Choose too. I learned you're not a gambler, I'm not either...has anyone ever bet $5.00 before?? My brother who knows I love all things WKB called to says Guess who's on Jeopardy right now! I knew it was you, so glad to catch it. And the fall-out is beautiful, keep up all the good work.
I still have no idea why I thought to bet $5.🤣 I’m not even sure that I knew that was allowed. I’ve watched it several times and I’m like, “WHAT ARE YOU DOING???
Love you Kamau! You know, Neil DeGrasse Tyson lost in his Celebrity Jeopardy round! So who's smarter than a scientist?

You are such a treasure Kamau! Bless you for all that you do! ♥️
Kamau - big congratulations on the win. I’m rooting for you in the next round. It’s good to have something positive to look forward to.
DITTO! Sorry I didn’t get to show you the sekrit handshake but you are definitely in the club!
OH MY GOD! I’m so happy you are here!
LOVED watching you WIN on Jeopardy! Question: How does Donors Choose allocate charity winnings?
Still figuring that out.

So glad I caught you on that episode. So much fun! Will be rooting for you in April.
Love it! Thanks for the details!

$5 is the minimum you're allowed to bet on a Daily Double. It doesn't happen often, but if you're not feeling it, it's a good move!

But it was super funny.
