Jason Kaczor '96 is competing this week on the TV game show "Jeopardy!" On the March 11 broadcast he won $7,999 and the next night he won $28,401. The show is broadcast locally on CBS affiliate WTVH-5 from Syracuse, N.Y. Kaczor, who resides in Geddes, a Syracuse suburb, was interviewed in the Syracuse Post-Standard (3/12/08). Kaczor was "sick as a dog" when he arrived in Los Angeles for the taping last fall. He said, "My goal was to remain upright and get second place to get some money to pay for my cross-country flight."
The March 13 edition of the Post-Standard noted, "After losing money early in the game on an incorrect response, Kaczor knew things were looking up when the former Russian major at Hamilton College hit a Russian category in Double Jeopardy. He finished that round with a narrow lead, then answered the Final Jeopardy question correctly for the victory."
