Braden Corkum

What's the best thing about being a kid?
I think the best thing about being a kid is not having to make money or do work.

What do you want to be when you grow up?
When I grow up, I would like to be an inventor.

What do you plan to invent?
Um, things that float, like hovering couches.

What's the best thing about being an adult?
The best thing about being a grown-up, I say, would be making--would being able to be--make lots of money.

How did you become a Jeopardy! contestant?
I became a Jeopardy! contestant by, um, going to an audition, and I guess being lucky.

Who is your hero?
My hero would be Ken Jennings, because he won, like, a million dollars or so on Jeopardy!
