Clue: This Hyannis native and 1978 graduate of Barnstable High School studied and practiced for 30 years before getting the call and becoming a two-day champion on the show he started watching as a child with his grandfather.
Correct response: Who is Dennis Chase?
That s right. On Friday, April 9, and Monday, April 12, Chase fulfilled a decades-long dream to compete on TV s Jeopardy!
He came away with two nights of being the champion, earning $25,900 on Friday and $22,500 on Monday before a final Jeopardy! question on Tuesday about constellations with weapons (the answer was Orion, not Sagittarius) knocked him into second place.
