J! Archive - John Beck

	A creative director from Torrance, California... John Beck
Date of first appearance: June 2003. ToC September 2004. Total Winings: $122,099 and a new Jaguar. Records: 5-time Champ and Last Jag winner! Anecdote: Still haven't been recognized. Really. How did being on Jeopardy! affect your life? A little extra cash, a few nice “trophies,” but I'm still the same glorified 5-year-old I've always been. Did you do anything crazy with your winnings? Took my mom and the rest of my family to Hawaii. Bought a big TV and a BBQ (how typical). My wife commandeered the rest for the kitchen. Is there anything else you would like viewers to know about you? Just that I'm pleased and proud to be back.
