Chicago attorney Brian Chang won $116,503 over five “Jeopardy!” games, with two of his final answers making headlines last week. Advertisement.
There was probably about a 20-minute gap between the end of ‘Final Jeopardy’ and when they actually gave us the prompt for the tiebreaker,” said Chang, who earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Stanford and his law degree from the University of Michigan.
Jennings called the finish a “doozie” on Twitter. Chang said he grew up watching “Jeopardy!” with his parents and often played a version of the game on lunch breaks with colleagues at the San Francisco office he worked at before moving to Chicago four years ago and joining Eimer Stahl as a commercial litigator.
