Russell Berris

Hi, I'm Russell from the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament.

How did you find out that you were going to be on Jeopardy!?
Well, my mom, she called up, uh, the local news, and, just, she called this guy, and they just went in the middle of my physics class in fourth hour and just came in and said "Where's Russell Berris?" And I was like, "Oh God." It was really amazing and surprising.

What is your favorite Jeopardy! category?
I like the categories with, uh, the quotes on 'em. The ones that you have to have that in every response, 'cause I like ta, I like somethin' ta go on.

Are you prepared to be rich and famous?
I don't know how famous I'll be. Um, I'm just along for the ride. It'll be fun.
