Jeopardy! Recruiting UW Contestants

Jeopardy! Recruiting UW Contestants

Jeopardy! producers will be at the Memorial Union Thursday, April 3, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. auditioning students for the show.

Ten episodes of the 2008 collegiate championships will be taped at the Kohl Center on April 11 and 12.  The shows will feature 15 students from the nation's top colleges.  The champion will win a grand prize of $100,000.

To qualify you must be a full-time UW-Madison undergraduate who has not previously earned a bachelor's degree.  A valid UW-Madison ID card is required to audition, as well as a vast knowledge of useful and useless trivia alike.   The first 1000 students in line at the "Brain Bus" event will be eligible to take the pre-test.

I must regretfully inform that tickets are sold-out.  Hey, I warned in November, with Trebek on the bill seats were bound to fill up fast!  The episodes will air from May 5 to May 16.
