This guy is amazing. I recently started tivoing Jeopardy and he truly knows everything. Not only that, but he's probably only been wrong, when he does buzz in, 50-60 times over 29 games. I think he's a speed reader because no one ever beats him to the buzzer.

He writes Jeopardy-style answers (questions - whatever) on a local level for some competition he helps run. And he has a website which catalogs his 2000 favorite movies. He was born for this game and it seems he has dedicated his life (a la Rosie Perez in White Men Can't Jump -- that storyline should have been its own movie, btw) to beating Jeopardy. He said he wants to write for the show. And he seems like the type of guy who would step down after winning a certain amount of money if the show offered him such a job. Otherwise, if the producers don't start stacking up their absolute best challengers against him, he's never going to lose.

And he's a mormon, so I'm sure the diva will have some good inside info on him.*

*Like maybe she can explain why he knows the answer to every single question that has to do with mixed drinks.
