Catholic High School Teacher Makes it onto Jeopardy | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

While a Michigan high school teacher did not make it all the way to the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions, he scored lots of big points with his students. Last week high school Latin teacher Josh Gregor of Sacred Heart Academy in Grand Rapids, Michigan squared off with 20 time Jeopardy Champion, Cris Pannullo. Gregor's Jeopardy ambitions ended with the first game but the excitement in the halls of Sacred Heart Academy can still be heard today. Joining from Grand Rapids, Mr. Josh Gregor, tells us about the experience and how he landed himself a spot on Jeopardy. Apart from being a Latin teacher, Mr. Gregor also has a Masters in Linguistics and was even a former seminarian. He shares whether he thinks these factors played into Jeopardy selecting him as a contestant. He grew up watching the show with his mother and 7 years ago he started taking online quizzes to prepare. Mr. Gregor discusses what else he did to prep for the big day. The show is shot in LA and it was Mr. Gregor's first time in California. He fills us in on what that was like for him and what he thought of the experience. The Latin teacher explains how his students reacted to seeing their teacher on the TV screen.
