	An arts administrator from Denver, Colorado... Bob Mesko
Hello Denver, I'm Bob Mesko. Watch me on Jeopardy! to see if I soar for the "Mile High City."
2006 Tournament of Champions wildcard semifinalist: $10,000. Season 22 5-time champion: $68,599 + $2,000. A poorly-worded Daily Double that cost Bob his fourth game resulted in his return to the show a few months after his first appearance. He went on to win two more games in Season 22.
