Regina Merrill

Hey, Lincoln. I'm Regina Merrill. Be sure to watch me on Jeopardy!'s Back to School Week.

What happened when you found out you were going to be on the show?
Well, they did a tape, like the news station came in and surprised me like that, and I started yelling. And I've been studying a little bit.

How did you prepare for the show?
Uh, I memorized all the presidents, and I've been working on state capitals. Mostly academic things.

What is your favorite subject?
Uh, I like reading, like literature class, and I like English language class, and, uh, history.

Where do you see yourself in 10 years?

What are you going to ask Alex Trebek?
