Hi, Parsippany. I'm Emily Sturtz. Watch me on Jeopardy!'s Back to School Week.
What happened when you found out you were going to be on the show?
My parents knew for about a week or two before I--before they told me, and they sat me down one night, and my dad came home early, so I was wondering what was going on, because I thought something was wrong, 'cause everyone was so serious. But then my dad took out the video camera, and my mom said that you got on Jeopardy! and I just started to cry. I didn't know why, I just started to cry. But then they told me, and we went out to dinner, and it just went so fast from there, 'cause that was about two weeks ago.
How did you prepare for the show?
I just took out, basic things, like state capitals, but I'm not sure if I'm going to use them, but state capitals, trees, presidents. And a lot of people that I've seen have asked me questions, like, "Answer in the form of a question!"
What are your favorite categories?
Uh, RHYME TIME, anything about celebrities or singers or artists. |
