Carl Brandt

My name's Carl Brandt, and I'm originally from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

What is your most memorable moment from your run on Jeopardy!?
Oh, probably meeting Alex Trebek. I mean, the guy is a cultural icon, he's a national treasure, and he's--he's not an empty suit. I mean, he--there's--saw him behind the scenes. He's really an intelligent, sophisticated, just--truly a wonderful human being.

Has anyone recognized you from your Jeopardy! appearance?
Yeah, I--it's interesting that you--you say that, because I, um, I got asked for an autograph, um, on the Sony lot, um, the first time--er, after I won my fourth game, we ended taping, I was just walking out to the garage, and some lady came up to me and said, um, "Oh, I think you're going to be the next Ken Jennings, can I get your autograph?" and I said, "Oh, you jinxed me!"--but I gave her the autograph anyway. And, of course, the next game, I lost. But, that was cool. And, a couple other people just out of the blue say, "Hey, you the guy on Jeopardy!?" I'm like, "Yeah." So... [Laughs]

How have you spent your winnings?
Well, I haven't received them yet. The plan is to, uh, invest most of it, but I'm gonna withhold about $8,000 and do a two-month trip to Argentina.

Place your bets and tune in!
