An Arlington man is the returning champion to kick off the 39th season of Jeopardy! tonight.
We last saw attorney Luigi de Guzman on the TV quiz show about a month and a half ago, when he won $23,401 by beating out an associate professor from Southern California and the then-returning champ, a nonprofit professional from Alexandria.
Tonight he’ll take on a “paperboy” from Michigan and a financial risk manager from the Chicago area, according to the show’s website.
Jeopardy! airs locally at 7:30 p.m. on WJLA (ABC 7).
Arlington residents have appeared regularly on the long-running show, which is now hosted by legendary former contestant Ken Jennings and actress Mayim Bialik.
Among the Arlingtonians to win at least one episode of the show are journalist Roey Hadar, social worker Blair Moorhead, and foreign service officer Liz Murphy, who also appeared on the show’s Tournament of Champions in 2010 after racking up $121,302 in winnings.
Hhhmmm … pretty sure there's something happening tomorrow.
That's right, it's the premiere of S39! RT if you're ready for new episodes of Jeopardy! pic.twitter.com/Xj8MaWwc8a
