A professor originally from Chicopee, Massachusetts... Tom Nichols

2005 Ultimate Tournament of Champions Round 1 player: $5,000. 1994 Tournament of Champions quarterfinalist: $1,000. Season 10/11 5-time champion: $57,680 + Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary computer game or Jeopardy! '92 home game. Tom won 4 games ($45,690), losing his 5th, in games aired 1994-01-31 to 1994-02-04. 8 months later, he returned to the show on 1994-10-10 (because of a "clue discrepancy") whereupon he won an additional $11,990 to become a 5-time champion, just in time for the 1994 Tournament of Champions, which aired the following month. (Had he not won his return game, his 4-day total was high enough that he’d have qualified for the Tournament of Champions anyway.) Not to be confused with Season 14 player Tom Nichols, who appeared in show #3000, aired 1997-09-19.
