METUCHEN – The Brainy Boro rallied around Alan Johnson, Metuchen’s first ever “Jeopardy!” champion.
Johnson, a software engineering manager, appeared on the game show on Feb. 18 and 19 with interim guest host Ken Jennings, who began the role on Jan. 11. He is the first to step in for long-time host Alex Trebek, who died of pancreatic cancer in November.
Johnson shared with Jennings that he is a fan of podcasts.
“I listen to some of everything,” he said. “I started off with classic NPR shows and interviews of history, personal finance … basically whatever.”
Johnson also shared his wife is expecting twins in May and soon their family will have four children under age four in the household.
