Terre Haute Man Joins Rare Jeopardy Alumni
Born and raised in Terre Haute, Indiana, 27-year-old researcher Harrison Whitaker has made quite a name for himself lately. The first Jeopardy super-champion of Season 42, Whitaker is a Terre Haute North graduate, although the Indiana native now calls the United Kingdom home. In high school, he started chasing a teenage dream of being on the longest-running American television quiz show. Whitaker spent 15 days on the show, with regular play winnings totaling $376,999. He will be considered for a later Tournament of Champions, in which Jeopardy contestants with the highest winning amounts and a minimum four-day win streak automatically qualify.
